Do you think prices have pretty much bottomed on
Monaros? What VXR8s?

If I were to buy now, what sort of hit would I expect to take over the next year?

Sorry for short message but on PDA

well there is an ls2 used for 22k and the picador one at 24k new ls3. Only down the road, got a boner the size of blackpool tower at that price but reading the advert text it says 29700 and then on the main advert its 23700 so confused about it

Prices will always fall IMO.
But you have to consider the loss of life and its value without one in your ownership.

That suggests that you should buy one immediately as you cannot replace those days lost from your life.

I've been looking for one of these aswell & you could get them for £22.8k at Aston Vauxhall but suprise suprise they have sold all 25 manuals they got. I believe they still have autos left.

They are looking to get a few more in though.

They are def open on Sundays. Probably 10-4 or something.

10 days ago they had 8 LS3 VXR8s left in stock at 23,995 (think it was 23995 not 22995). No white ones - red, black and evoke I think.

There will prob be less than 8 left now and after TG tomorrow night there will be a run on the remainder on Monday morning (he predicts wink )

Get in quick!

hypocricy runs in my blood and after asking Sharia (For that is hte law she makes me live under) if I can get one she said yes. Alas, it would be a joint venture and she also said she would drive it. Do you have an ls3 valet tune available?
