I'm collecting my Monaro this week!

[Well_Fans]

Well when I heard Vauxhall were stopping them I had to make sure I got one so rushed out and picked up an 04 plate black 333bhp version with 8k on the clock. Unfortunately as part of the deal I also had to agree to buy a Corsa TDi to use as my everyday car - well it was cheaper to buy a new Corsa than running the Monaro to work through the Glasgow rush hour every morning!! I see you lot organise meets every now and then - be interested in coming along to any "northern" locations.

Well done and welcome to the forum!! Could you please give me an idea of what you paid for it as mine is the same year and I'm interested to see how prices are holding up.

Well done Wells!! Good purchase.

Northern fans are few and far between. You might be the 3rd owner in Scotland with a Monaro, Dave52 ain't too far away from you.

2 Monaro's in the north east and me with my 4 door.

BTW, WE will be seeing you soon.

Well_fans, welcome to the forum and the joys of Monaro ownership

ee427 that is a cracking idea - is that an open invitation? Count me in! It's about time I met some of you folk.

Drive on!

So i'm not alone then.Did pm you Bob. Have fun.

fao booster - you asked how much it cost - 22k was the cost. I'm sure I could have got it slightly cheaper from down south but its in immaculate condition and came complete with an Rac Trackstar tracker installed - worth 300-400 quid. just out of curiosity what kind of money are you guys paying in insurance - I finally got mine down to £505 fully comp.

That's a very good price. My insurance is £650 with a...wait for it....£600 excess!! I need to change companies. Who did you go with and what NCB and points do you have? (If you don't mind sharing).

I tried loads of people for insurance but eventually found that elephant.co.uk were the cheapest - part of the admiral group. I've got a total of £450 excess with that. Thats for 8 years no claims and a clean licence. Car parked in a driveway! Assuming of course you pay it all up front - if you go 10 payments with either admiral/elephant it jumped to around £720
