The Ro'mance is over
Discussion
After 1 year and 3500 miles it's time to say goodbye to my CV8. She has exceeded my expectations as a great GT car that I've used as a daily and never fails to put a smile on my face. The only real reason for the change is I have a few cars I want to try and unfortunately for me I can't keep them all. Thanks to the guys on here for the helpful posts and banter as well as on those that get on the FB page. Something tells me I'll be back in Monaro again in the future.

Agree seem to remember years ago some people predicting a Monaro could be had for around 5k about now,they are certainly holding well.
Be interested to see how they fair in the future dare I say worth more than the vxr8 s ?
when Monaros go up in value then it pushes VXR8s up aswell, hence why VXR8s have held their money well over the last 3 yrs. Think Monaros will still be £9k - £15k for a while. the lower CV8 price range values will hold value well as they wont ever be £6k againBe interested to see how they fair in the future dare I say worth more than the vxr8 s ?

They are only going up in value though due to a declining UK stock situation and the fact they won't be made again, so expect to pay a bit more for this Ozzie icon than your sold it forIt never fails to amaze me how car prices can suddenly shift.
I looked at a few Porsche 911 (996) C4S last year and prices were £12k-16k, can't get one for less than £16k now. Turbos did dip below £20k but now they have shot up as well.

Good luck with your next car, there is a guy on our close who has sold his classic mini GT twice and bought it back twice he can't seem to live without it.
Guess I am lucky that my Monaro is not my daily never has been, can't imagine ever parting with it 6 years on still feels like an occasion when we venture out, we have diesel cars for daily drive.
I would be perfectly happy if mine stayed where it was now value wise never imagined that when I bought it

No mate , bought nothing to replace it to be honest, been and looked at a Jag sv8 and a Merc cls 55 amg recently but as yet nothing feels quite as special.
Sticking with V8's then 😉.I looked at the cls's, they are very well priced but stupidly didn't realise they are only 4 seater!! If I'm going big then it needs to be functional for a family of 5!!
Let me know if you are serious about the Ro as I've had a few offers in the £7XXX range which I might accept but would love to pass it back to someone who would take good care of it again.
