Provided you want to buy a povvo pak vehicle.

Carsales seldom has anything except extremely basic vehicles.

Do a quick look now for new FPVs or falcons fitted with upgraded brakes, satnavs, rear cameras or other factory options. Not a lot of choice....
(actually look for a new GT that has anything other than stripes)

The idea of the configurator is to look at new as yet unbuilt totally custom cars not what some sales guy thinks will sell quickly.

The majority of FPVs (and HSVs) are sold on power by the hour to non private users (people who claim the vehicles against some sort of income or novate) so the actual retail price is often not as important as getting the vehicle exactly right.
