I'd snap that up in a heartbeat if I didn't have one (almost as good) already!
If you are set on a Monaro then buying one from someone on here makes real sense. No doubt you can find out who looks after it (see recommended garages which don't number a great deal) and most likely both seller and garage can talk about the car and give reassurances as to what its like. I get the impression that most forum owners get there car looked after.
0-60 is not great, 50 - 140 on a modded car is ballistic (have to include the diff upgrade for this on a standard CV8).
The one on offer here is probably fairly unique compared to what is found in your average Network Q garage (and I have nothing against them!).
