I'd agree but I'd want to know what is wrong with the air con as that could be the bit that make sit less cheap!

You'd know about that!

Broken AC is ideal, rip it out and enjoy an even simpler car

Indeed!

It has some good mods though, I couldn't think of a better car for that money. A Jag XK/XKR will likely be a bag of expensive nails for that kind of money, as I looked at a few before the Monaro. Just don't mention "sealed for life" auto gearboxes....

Isn't this the car that sold for about £5k, last year?

Are you thinking of the one that had done 220k?

Been stuck in reverse then for a year, that needs sorting out as well then

Ahh, that would be the one.

I guess Stephen King wrote about a '58 Plymouth Fury rather than an '04 Vauxhall Monaro.

That is way too cheap! I was looking the other day to check what I should be insuring mine for and and I was amazed. Even a fairly standard car on an 04 plate seems to be up around £7.5k.

I looked at a tatty silver 6.0 VXR Monaro for that money last summer with similar mileage, was going to buy it and restore it until I saw the deal on the new Astra VXR which was too good to miss. Think speed4u eventually bought it for about 5k.
