To buy or not to buy

[Kinky Monza]

Right, i've finally got the Monza, but do i buy one of these as well???
Being able to finance the daily running costs etc isn't an issue, i just can't make my mind up!!!
Obviously it's not this exact one, but it's a 1973 Opel Commodore, 2 door coupe with vinyl roof, 2.8 straight six engine.

[Jack]

Yes :D

[Stuart]

its your money, do wtf you like.....

[Kinky Monza]

That doesn't really help much Stuart lol

[Stuart]

if you want it buy it, if you have to ask if you should buy it then you shouldnt be buying it....

[Kinky Monza]

That's better pmsl

[novacabrio]

Not a fan tbh, bit to old skool, Firenza maybe? But knowing what you said it was going to cost you from your phone call i'd say go for it, if its still that price?


awaits a nice reply from KN, and a slagging from her mate pmsl lol

[Ben]

Not for me!

[Kinky Monza]

I believe she is still the same price, i'm considering it, but it'd be storing her that'd be the problem. anyone have a garage to rent lol

:eek: No smart **** comments? :wtf:

Is there a possibility of living and letting live???

[Kinky Monza]

Yes Dod, but you have to too!!!

[philly]

if its the same as in that pic no.

i aint too keen on how that one looks, maybe different colour and wheels could change my mind if it was me

[Kinky Monza]

The one i have been offered is a Maroon red ish colour, not even seen it yet, but it's a 2 door coupe, with the same vinyl roof as that one

Hell Yes , thats an awesome ride , i was very interested in 2 of them sold as a pair on ebay a while back , one was black and very tough looking , IMO your monza is very nice , but ive got to say the 'commodore' is real oldskool cool . im a ascona man myself , i will get one oneday =vauxhall till i die= (in one ) lol

i say if you can afford to buy it , and you have space to 'dry' store go for it :thumb:

[Kinky Monza]

The Commodore in question is 33 years old, finance is not an issue, it's storing so may cars inside that is

Cool, old skool at its best, i'm in the process of locating a garage to rent, i'm gonna see if i can't get two, then all i need to do is get a car transporter lol
As only one of my cars will be driven to shows mext year!!!!

[Jack]

Opel Manta A's are cool, but that Opel Admiral just exudes classic style :cool:

Couldn't tempt me away from American muscle tho :D

[ANDYRACER]

Well we'd all be able to buy one if we didnt pay for insurance and tax.

Both my cars are sorned off road, so no point taxing and insuring them for them to sit in a garage is there??? not that it has anything to do with you! :thumb:

[Jack]

Would they qualify as tax exempt, are they old enough?

Insurance would be pennies I should think, classic policies with limited mileage are el mucho cheapo

The Monza is only 22 year old, however the Commodore is 33!!! which would qualify as exempt from road tax, the Monza has 3 years to go, and my Nova 7 years before they qualify!

The Monza will only be driven every so often as i don't want to put too much milage on her (although it's about 30 miles away from my house)
The Commodore, if i buy it, would be the same, but i'm unsure of her milage :thumb:

[draper]

if you get a garage let me know where it is, price etc as im after 1/2 aswell

[Kinky Monza]

I've asked about the Commodores on TWOMAS (a Monza site) as one of the guys on there is restoring one, so wait and see what his advice is then it'll be decision time for me lol
