Assuming it doesn't sell in the next 36 hours, I'll be looking at a '54 plate black VXR.

Anything I should be on the lookout for?

It was bougtht as a toy from a rather well off gentleman who spends most of his time out of the country, and is being replaced with something more expensive. At least, that's what I'm told.

So mileage is low, circa 3k.

The comment was "It's perfect". My eyes have already glazed, so I have to be careful when I see it - I can't really find any obvious faults with these cars in general posting though.

Ta!

Black... Good Man!!!

Check the wheel rims for damage - They get scuffed very easily.
See if you can get Cat 1 upgrade and/or tracker included in the price - it will make getting insurance a bit more simpler

Caspy, the dealer raised your points before I could - and they are in hand.

VXR baby!

Luckily I have a busy week ahead, not least because I get to see my girlfriend for the first time in a month - so thankfully I can keep the Monaro out of my head!

But yeah.. I can't bloody wait.
