Harking back to the days when falcon and commodore were #2 and #1 (usually), because they sold to fleets and as taxies in the days before novated leasing, hilux and ranger are not even in the top 20 for private buyers.
So i wonder what happens to all those three, four or five-year-old hiluxes and rangers that come off lease.....?
