I know your hearing this alot but If I could sell the hg monaro Ive for sale and get the cash together Id be very interested! It sounds like a wicked car!

No its the current market, as you'll see by reading back I started out over $24k back in April.

Its going cheap now because ultimately the stock engine will require a rebuild as is evident with the lowish compression figures which I'll know exactly tomorrow as its in the shop getting a compression test today.

Right now I dont have the time nor the money really to rebuild the engine and I dont really get time to play with toys much these days so the money is best spent on my house / paying the mortgage etc. Look at any mortgage calculator and workout how much interest you save after a lumpsum payment over the life of the loan. The savings in interest for me will be 89k and 1year and 10 months. Mortgages change everything. consider it a 7.5% guaranteed return on my $12k compunded for 30 years. Not to mention saving the 2k per year in rego and insuranaces.

I hope that answers your question.

Too bad you're not in Victoria....we could probably sell your car on consignment for way more than what you're asking.....

I'd have to talk to Jon about that first, though.....have you tried contacting other dealers in NSW to sell on consignment with them?

Just got the compression checked for all those interested:

125-125-125-125-120-115

Latest power run was 263rwkw @ 17psi boost.

$12k will buy it.

Serious buyers can look today and tomorrow until deposit taken.

Thanks for the PMs all answered I think.

The car has never been involved in any accidents.

No money is owing - I own it outright.

Paint has some minor scratches but otherwise looks good. Just been polished and looks mean.

Car is very clean and tidy, solid mechanicals esp. suspension = top of the range full adjustable Tein type flex with electronic in-cabin dampening adjustment: 16 levels of Soft -> hard front and back. this setup was $2600 for parts alone.

Those compression read outs don't look too bad.. Low numbers shouldn't be taken as a sign of wear and tear.. Evenness across the board with little variance is what you're looking for and 125-115 isn't tooo bad..

The market really is absolutely dead.. For turbo's that is..

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 馃構
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
