Imagine the interest rate on that loan and then the Craptiva poops it's pants!

[mahcooharper]

Selling Captivas on high interest finance to people without a lot of money... And he's proud of it.

When I worked at a Holden dealer we wouldn't even put Cappies on the used car lot unless they had a lot of factory warranty left. No excuse for this.

What you see is what you get! And more trustworthy than your average politician!

[Shadowkiller]

Their called Craptiva for a reason their lemon cars

[stevangayford]

There’s a craptiva around the corner from my house in its natural environment burnt out

[stuffedgrubs]

Buying a car a Captiva at that off a guy with a singlet and a beer...

What could possibly go wrong..


Also a current affair has comments turned on!!!!

[ALLOFTHEBOOST]

It's not a cult following. They are trolling him. Captivas are absolutely rubbish vehicles.

[trento]

The Captiva is one of Holden's worst car!!!

[geoffrey]

Getting in debt for a second hand Captiva in 2025 😂

[MrJohnreader]

OMG I have followed him for ages on Facebook and he is a legend. Funny as F!! lol lol lol

[gav]

I want to be a Camira king but not too many of them still around.

[grumpy-gs]

There is an old saying “ Captiva every workshop has one 😅” it’s a temporary car guaranteed to let you down !

[MajesticGamingLegacy]

Just wait until those warranty claims roll in champ

[davouchi]

That's one of Holden's worst cars ever made. They're called craptiva for a reason.

I had one for 10 years from 2010. 2007 diesel Amazing car. Amazing pickup speed. Amazing power. Comfortable space. Compact. But had to change up for technology and at the same time the timing belt went ( speeding up new car search. ) only if my last service recommended a belt change. Had issues with roller rockers but that was changed for free

[tonechowdhury]

When you talk to a mechanic how bad the captiva engine was designed how fuel thirsty it is and the cost of repairs they would tell you to stay the hell away from a captiva or an astra

[grumpy-gs]

Holden Cruze is next lol but there are very few still running !

[OzzyPedro]

How much did this advertisement disguised as a story cost him?

[Darkshadoz]

bro just get a $1000 car no radio, some windows don't work, clutch may be sloppy and just use that or buy a new motorbike cb125F for like $4000. it ain't that difficult

[tomm]

God bless him! What a bloke, keep going fella
