New Monaro

[preciousmetal]

Simon. You can ring me as I have the hpi finance details at work

[TonyTwoTribes]

I'd want my deposit back and walk, this smells no matter what letter they give you. Looked at a Honda SP1 yesterday mileage was advertised as 36k and 4 owners. using DVLA and MCN checks truth was 11 owners and 42 000 miles. I'd always worry with this car one day someone would knock on my door and legally take it.

[siovey]

Aye, cheers guys. I've done a HPI check and it does show finance owing. I called the finance company (motonovo) and they confirmed they still had an interest in the car. The dealer says they will 100% guarantee that the finance will be cleared off and they'll give me confirmation it's been done

If they say it will be done, when they say its sorted, then ring the company back to confirm.

Any problem with that, walk away.

They may be genuine saying that, but, hey, make sure for gods sake

[siovey]

Defo! If the finance company don't confirm to me that a payment has been made, I'm walking away!

[siovey]

Got it!! What a car! The noise is amazing, and the speed...

Finance issue was sorted and I now have a clearance letter to confirm everything is fine. I spoke to Mark at Monkfish and he reckons its running 550bhp as a conservative estimate. I can well believe this!

550?
Is that bonnet up or down?!
It's an old, old forum Monaro in-joke.

Congratulations - however I can't believe we're now half way down the second page, and you still haven't posted up pictures.

[siovey]

Sorry I forgot about the photos. They are crappy iPhone pics as I haven't had a chance to take proper photos yet

[maccavvy]

nice colour...looks stock.. goes like fook..best way.

Enjoy.

[siovey]

Cheers mate. Yes that's what I like about it. Nice and inconspicuous , well if you're deaf!! Haha. The colours lovely in the sun. But loads of little scratches have started appearing on the bonnet, like they did on my last car while it was sat on the drive. Pesky local cats!!!

The colour is lovely, whatever the weather.

As for the scratches, it's probably the sun that had made them visible.

Prettiest model in the best colour, and I'm sure it's a fun drive

I'm sure the scratches definitely weren't there when I picked the car up. Must have been, but got overlooked with all the excitement ! Lol
They aren't deep so should be fine to remove
Cheers

Looks lovely, very nice combination of understated looks and big power.

Welcome to the madhouse

[siovey]

Cheers Janosh. I just let my brother in law have a little drive. He didn't even know what it was and had never heard of the Monaro. He was genuinely shocked after his test drive...

Hi mud, yes it's fantastic to drive. I did want to buy a 6.0 VXR model and didn't even consider the 5.7 models. I made the mistake of 'just going for a quick look ' at this one...

[rytaylor]

Have to agree with the other comments. Looks nice and subdued but has 550hp. Definitely the best way.

Welcome and enjoy. I'm sure you will

Thanks mate. I love it already. I'm tempted to completely de-badge it so no one has a clue what it is...

[throwyourbike]

Beautiful car.

Always thought this model would look its best without the nostrils though. Has anyone ever done that?
