www.findvauxhall.co.uk/usedcars/results.php?make=Vauxhall&price=any&model=Monaro&year=any&description=&mileage=any

just found that link whilst looking for some parts for the car. It has about 4 cars all classed as 06 registered cars, each with 5.7 engines and none look to have the 05 bonet so can it be safe to suspect they are all 04 models?

Their not passing them off as newer stock its just when the cars have been registered which puts them as 2005/2006 cars which they have to say when selling not what model year the cars are.

the only reason I said passing off (you are right btw) is that when I bought from network q they were insistant that my car was an 05 model. Look at the 350bhp one, it looks to me like an 04 model which means it isnt a 350?

It is an 04 model year 333 car.
Many dealers don't seem to know what they have in stock.

but it clearly says 350 on their sales sheet. Thats the reason I started the thread as people out there will possibly buy it, join up here and then be pissed off at being 17bhp down...

in reality could be a lot more down than just 17hp. Number of cv8's have been shown to be below 300 before a bit of tuning work.
