Decided to bite the Bullet...
« on: 26 August 2020, 22:57:17 »

Well could have waited until next year, extended ULEZ zone pending, have been pondering for a few weeks now, whether to wait or not...... so anyway, soon all going well will be a proud owner of a VXR8 6.2 LS3 2007 plate :y

Excellent choice!

I prefer the looks of the monaro (I might be the only one  ;D) but as you say, the VXR8 is a better car.

Having done another search found one up north of Leeds have made them an offer lower than the asking price and waiting to hear back :y

Yep.....you're a long time dead.

Also, with 4 seats it will be a practical proposition. So what is not to like. :y

An added bonus is that it won't be killing the planet and all the black babies in Africa because it runs on a fuel designed by God rather than Satan. :)

The advert says 6.0 rather than the latter 6.2.

These cars hold their value well. :y

Was originally looking at a 6.2 one, but then found that one, done the deal deposit paid got it for £14,500, insurance is just under £100 more than what I pay for the omega, the omega is now listed in for sale section;

Pick the car up next Friday all being well, nice run back to London from Harrogate :y, try not to get any speeding tickets ;D

 As OOF is like the Hotel California, you always come back, get onto the VXR8 & Monaro facebook forum as well Mike. Excellant knowledge and help there, just like here. Went to a meet up at Saffend seafront last saturday night. We then had a noisy procession along the front and through the town to a fish and chip establishment oppisite the Sainsburys where some more noise was made :o. Quite a few of the owners were older than both of us two ;D
