Holden parts availability after factory closure

I am considering buying a 2012 Commodore wagon, which will be kept for a long time, at least for 15 years, but I am unsure about the availability of parts for them in the future once Holden ceases production. Do you think that the companies that supply parts to Holden will close up as well making it difficult to get parts?

I wouldn't be concerned about it. No doubt parts makers will be under pressure to survive with Holden and Ford stopping local production, but there will be a stock of parts retained by Holden in the medium term at least, and other companies will step into the breach if the current parts suppliers do fall over. With so many Commodores made there will be an on-going demand for replacement parts that will have to be met.
