I've been able to save up enough to buy it from working at my employer not from working with my Dad. This is coming from what I saved to purchase a new car. The airport work simply allows me to run it and still have a life. It certainly won't substitute a salary. Plus I enjoy my work.

TBH, a quick look at PH classfieds suggests that price is about right, given the mileage and (apparent) condition.
I reckon he'd take £16k for it (appears he's added the £400 on as "wiggle room") but I'd be suprised if you got much more off.
I don't know how flexible your finances are, but could you not stretch to a a VXR8?

I really don't like the look of them, I feel the Monaro VXR has more of a muscle car look.
You could get an E55 AMG for that money!

It would be so awesome!

I assume the running costs would far exceed that of the Monaro.
Don't assume, figure it out
Well even if it cost the same to run I'd still take Monaro it's a car I've always wanted and aimed to own.

My sister was in an accident a few years ago - she was shunted from behind while waiting to turn off an A road - she could only just reach the pedals properly, and as such had her left knee "locked out" on the clutch. She's now got serious back problems, and one leg slightly shorter than the other, I'd seriously advise against getting a car you can't effectively operate the clutch on.

clutch on a 6.0 V8 isnt exactly going to be light either is it.
The key to haggling is low balling.
Obviously don't take the mick and offer peanuts, but start on a figure that is ever so slightly insulting and work your way up from there. No seller who wants to make a deal is going to tell you to get lost, and if they do then walk as a matter of principal. You might regret it, but there will always be other cars.

Theres a monaro VXR on an 05 plate for £14,495

Start at about 14k and work your way up then ?
It's also not standard and a year and half older.
I've just got in contact with the guy and offered £15500 so we'll see.
And?
It's the dealer's job to justify the price, not yours. Offer him £13,500 and work your way up. Always shock them with your first bid

You started far too high IMO.
Also I'm guessing that you haven't actually seen the car? Talking about money before seeing it in the metal is always poor form (to me at least).
