Price for 5.7L Monaro

[cliff_ford]

I've got a C5 Corvette and was thinking about adding a Monaro. Is £20K a good price for a 5.7l one with delivery mileage?

[alloypearltam]

Cliff, I would say yes from what I have seen on the Network Q website. I thought most delivery mileage 5.7's were around £24,995.

Exceptionally good price, when was it registered ?

[sjc]

I've seen a black one on auto-trader at that money,incredible bargain!

[phrich]

I saw that but can't find it now

[sjc]

Yep, it's still there."Lookers Vauxhall" think its a Birmingham area number. Looks like a 04 spec car delivery mileage only. Come on wifey, you really do need one for the school run!

[cliff_ford]

Ah well I was too late, it sold end of last week. It was an unregistered 04. I shall keep looking.

They had some cheaper than the 3 on their website now. Perhaps a month or so ago and I think they were 04 plates @£21,697

06 registered CV8 (old model)

£23995 - Greens of Rainham....See banner ad above

Yes, Slaters have two unregistered O4 models on display, one red, one Silver.

1 O5 CV8 (unregistered) can't remember the colour - wierd silver/blue (can't think of name)

1 Red O4 VXR (ex demo or trade in), 1 Black O4 CV8 (£19,995.00) and another Black VXR O5 that got traded in because the guy said it used too much petrol!!!

I drive past Slaters every day, but I can't see the prices as the cars are parked quite a way back from the road.

I phoned Lookers too about the black one but it has gone as you've said , they have got a 'Devil' Yellow one if your interested..........£23K I think they said. Haven't quite worked out if it would look pretty cool with smoked windows or rather embarassing to be seen in ??!!

Have you guys thought about a 4dr HSV instead?

You can fit 5 adults in comfortably with all the luggage and whoooop one hell of a lot of cars.

They are also excellent family cars and ideal for shopping hehehe.

My car is a damn good example only for sale 'cos I am going to live in Oz and enjoy more HSV's!!!! It has 400HP+ mods and is one of the HSV's from the UK that has bee CHERISHED big time.

[cliff_ford]

Looks like the best deals are to be done in the US. You can get a new 05 6.0l Pontiac GTO, which seems to be a VXR, for under $31K. This landed with car tax, VAT and SVA is under £25K. You can also get automatic if you like that.
I know it is LHD but that's no hardship.

[caspy]

Somewhat different from the 6.0VXR. One is a HSV product rebadged. The pontiac has diff, suspension, interior styling, equipment, wheels, steering, security etc etc and will be virtually worthless second hand in the UK

[jagsy]

In other words the HSV is a better buy?

Of course! (but we are biased after tasting the HSV ownership experience! )

[cliff_ford]

Thanks Caspy for the info.. I see what you mean about the wheels and the interior. I wonder why they have the Pontiac videos on the Vauxhall Monaro website.

Hi Guys,

I recently purchased by pride and joy, a 2004 Vauxhall Monaro 5.7 for £19495 with only 9700 miles. The car is perfect and well looked after so I think I got a good deal.
I do know there is a Yellow 2004 5.7 up on the Isle of Skye with 10000 miles and he only wants £19000. It was just too far for me to go but I can pass on the contact details to anyone who is interested.

Loving my Monaro btw, it "bluddy beauuutifull mate" (as the aussies say)! Now I know what REAL cars are all about!

There just aint no replacement for Displacement!
