No different than any other dual cab of that era/price range.

Crewman will hold its value too.

I considered a crewman but as i dont want a V8 it rules out the VZ due to Alloytec rubbish and cant find a good VY example locally, plus the seats and plastics are generally flogged out in that era Commodore by now.

A friend's brother worked for HSV. In the company, the Cross 8 was known as the Cross 3. Those 3 sitting in the back were always cross with having to be there

And that was within the company

The Crewman were an absolute hack job, cobbled together from bit and pieces from the various Commodore bodies. The amount of shut-lines and trims covering weld points was almost hilarious. I drove one for about 5 min, that was enough, it drove worse than my agricultural PK Ranger.
