6 used Holden for sale in Australia

Used Holden cars for sale in Australia still cover a broad mix of needs. A Commodore suits buyers who want a roomy sedan or wagon, while a Colorado is perfect for towing, carrying gear and regular country driving.

At the smaller end, the Astra is easy to park and simple to use each day. Families can look at the Equinox for a five-seat SUV, while selected Acadia models add seven seats and more room in the back.

The Commodore, Colorado and Astra have drawn the most interest from Cars24 buyers. Together, they show how much variety remains in the used Holden range.

Holden ownership also has more support than many buyers may expect. More than 150 Holden Certified Service Outlets still operate across Australia, helping with servicing, genuine parts, software updates and recall work.

Cars24 currently has 6 used Holden cars, priced from $9,590 to $37,690. Compare the year, kilometres, variant, condition and service history, then check whether the car is Cars24 Select or a verified dealer listing, as the included support will differ.

Which used Holden Commodore suits the way you drive?

A used Commodore usually means one of two very different cars: the VF or the ZB.

The VF was built in Australia as a sedan or Sportwagon, with power sent to the rear wheels. Most VFs use a V6 petrol engine, while the SS and SS-V get a V8. The V8 is faster, but it can cost more in fuel, tyres and brakes over time.

The ZB came later and is very different from the VF. It was sold as a liftback or wagon, usually with a 2.0-litre turbo engine and front-wheel drive. Some V6 versions send power to all four wheels.

A V6 VF sedan and a turbo ZB liftback may both wear a Commodore badge, but they do not drive, tow or cost the same to run. Check the generation, engine and body style before comparing prices.

Best matched to: Long-distance driving and buyers who want a full-size passenger car.

Is a used Holden Colorado right for work and towing?

A Colorado starts to earn its money once a regular car cannot keep up with the job. Later RG models use a 2.8-litre turbo-diesel and come with a manual or automatic gearbox, plus a choice of 4x2 or 4x4. A single cab gives you a longer tray for timber, ladders and work gear, while a crew cab trades some tray length for a proper back seat. Towing and payload limits change by variant, so check the figures for the exact ute rather than relying on one number for the whole Colorado range.

Look closely at the tray, towbar, tyres and underbody for signs of hard use. If the ute has mainly done short town trips, also check for DPF warning lights. The diesel particulate filter needs a longer run from time to time to clear the soot it collects.

Best matched to: Trade work, towing and hauling equipment.

Which used Holden Astra works best for daily driving?

The Astra came as a hatch, sedan and wagon, so start with the body style that suits your daily routine. The hatch is the easiest to park, and its rear opening makes loading easy and the sedan gives you a separate enclosed boot. While the wagon serves well if you often carry prams, flat-pack furniture or other long items.

Many later Astras use a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine. Regular oil changes and a clear service history matter, so ask to see the logbook before going further.

During the test drive, check how the gearbox behaves once the car has warmed up. Watch for warning lights and look for any signs of cooling-system trouble.

Higher grades may come with larger wheels. They can look better, but replacement tyres may cost more.

Best matched to: Commuting, smaller households and everyday city driving.

What should you check before buying a Holden for sale?

  1. Match service-book entries with invoices and completed recall work.

  2. Start the engine cold and check for leaks, warning lights or cooling issues.

  3. Test the automatic gearbox or clutch at low and normal speeds.

  4. Inspect tyres, brakes, suspension and signs of hard use or poor repairs.

  5. Change the checks by model. Inspect a Colorado’s tray and underbody, identify a Commodore’s exact engine or test child-seat and luggage space in an SUV.

This Cars24 service-history guide explains why the paperwork matters.

Why compare used Holden cars on Cars24?

Cars24 lets you compare price, kilometres, year, body type, transmission, seller and included support in one search. This shows why one Holden costs more than another.

Cars24 Select listings provide inspection and condition details before purchase. Verified dealer listings add more choice, but each dealer sets its own warranty, test-drive, delivery and return terms. Check the seller label and full package each time.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, but the actual limit changes with the year, the drivetrain and the body style. Check the owner's manual, the towbar rating and the payload for the specific ute you're looking at rather than going off a general figure. Brakes, tyres, underbody and service record are worth a proper look too. Years of towing wear all of them down faster than normal driving does.

Start by working out whether you're looking at a VF or a ZB. The two share a name and not much else. The VF runs rear-wheel drive and comes as a sedan or wagon. The ZB is a liftback or wagon, with front-wheel or all-wheel drive depending on the variant. Once that's settled, compare engine, gearbox, kilometres, condition and service history for the actual car in front of you.

It can work well, especially if a small hatch or sedan suits what a first-time buyer needs. Before deciding, check what insurance and maintenance will cost for that particular model and year. On the test drive, pay attention to the cooling system, how the gearbox behaves, the brakes, any warning lights and whether the cabin electronics all work as they should.

Yes. Holden runs a network of more than 150 Certified Service Outlets across the country, and plenty of independent workshops service Holdens as well. A Holden dealer outlet or an independent workshop familiar with the model will both do the job properly. Ask whether they know the specific service schedule for your model before booking. 

For the most part, yes. Holden Genuine and ACDelco parts are still sold through Holden service outlets, and independent suppliers stock plenty of the regular service items too. Trim pieces, electronics and crash parts are the exception. Availability there varies more, so if a car you're considering already needs a part replaced, ask about it before you pay rather than after.

Look for entries that happen regularly, invoices that match what's listed, and confirmation that any recalls were completed. A stamp from a Holden dealer or workshop adds some confidence. The dates, the kilometres at each visit and what work was actually carried out matter more.

It depends on how many people you're regularly moving. The Acadia seats seven and gives you the most room to work with. The Equinox suits families who only need five seats and want something easier to live with day to day. A Commodore wagon is also worth considering, since it gives you real luggage space without the height of an SUV. Compare child seat fit, rear seat room, boot access and how much you can actually load in each.

Cars24 Select cars come with Cars24's own inspection and support built in: a condition report, PPSR check, roadworthy information, warranty, roadside assistance and a 30-Day Return Guarantee, all subject to terms. Verified dealer listings follow whatever conditions that particular dealer sets, which can differ from one dealer to the next.

There's no single answer here. It depends on how you drive and what condition the car's in. A petrol Astra or Barina will often use less fuel and run on smaller, cheaper tyres, but insurance and repair costs can shift the total either way. Before settling on the cheapest Holden for sale, weigh up servicing, tyres, fuel and any maintenance likely coming up.
