Holden stopped making cars in Australia back in 2017, and since then we’ve seen a steady stream of Commodores, Utes, and Captivas coming through our Keilor East yard. Most owners are in the same situation — the car’s cost more to fix than it’s worth, the rego lapsed, or they’ve simply upgraded and can’t sell it privately. Whatever the reason, your Holden is still worth real money, and getting rid of it shouldn’t be a drama.

How Much Is Your Holden Worth in Melbourne?
Here’s the honest answer: it depends on the car. But it’s almost certainly more than you’d expect — especially if you haven’t had a quote yet. Here’s what drives the number up or down.
Model & Year
A 2015 Commodore VF is worth more than a 2003 Barina — newer models have higher parts demand and heavier builds. Year and spec drive the offer significantly.
Condition
Running Holdens fetch better prices. But non-running, damaged, and stripped Holdens are still genuinely wanted for their parts and metal.
Parts Demand
Holden Commodore and Ute parts are still heavily sought in Melbourne. When specific components are in demand, your offer goes up above the scrap floor.
Vehicle Weight
Heavier vehicles — Captiva, Commodore wagon, Colorado — have more recoverable steel and aluminium. More weight, higher base offer.
Scrap Metal Rates
Steel and aluminium prices move with the market. We use current data when quoting — so you get today’s rate, not a stale figure.
Intact Components
A car with its engine still in, interior intact, and body panels reusable always fetches more than one that’s been picked over before the call.
Take a 2010 Holden Commodore VE sedan with a dead automatic gearbox, expired rego, and 220,000km on the clock. It’s been in a Brunswick driveway for six months and won’t start.
Most people assume it’s worth almost nothing. In reality, a car like that typically fetches $800–$2,500 — because the engine, diff, suspension parts, body panels, interior, and raw steel all have genuine value.
A 2016 VF Commodore SS in fair condition with a lapsed rego? That’s a completely different conversation — more like $3,500–$7,000+ depending on spec and current parts demand.
