Is a WM or WN V8 Holden Caprice likely to appreciate in value?

Hi there. I’m looking at buying either a WM or WN V8 Caprice. Just wondering if, in your opinion, these cars are going to appreciate in value in the coming years?

If you look at the market for Holden’s long-wheelbase Statesman and Caprice models historically, it seems they do experience an uptick in value as they become older and rarer. But, then, that goes for a lot of makes and models, too.

The really collectible modern Holden models are more likely to be anything with a HSV badge or a Commodore SS with the V8 engine. The very last SS Commodores with the SS-V option (with better brakes) have already proved collectible, as has the super-rare HSV W427. That said, even these models have suffered the same value drop as many other cars post-Covid.

So will a late Caprice ever be collectible and valuable? Possibly, but you’ll be waiting a while. In reality, values of them could have a way to fall yet, before prices start heading upwards as collectability calls.
