Tempted for this....Thoughts anyone?
« on: 17 October 2006, 12:44:33 »

Seen a S reg 2.5 Elite estate, with Steinmetz bodykit, (cloth and manual :) )  for £2700

http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/cars/advert?adId=12775941&sid=802143DF897B778865&pos=33&src=search

can also be seen on http://www.dashcars.co.uk/frames/used-cars.htm (page 5)

any thoughts?
seems a bit dear to me for age / milage.
Annoyingly a bit far to go to 'look' at it.
Is this garage known to any of the local contingent? (Derby, Nottingham)?

It doesn't worth that money for the sake of a bodykit which you can buy on ebay for 300quid.

well with that age and mileage - even with the bodykit - I'd say £2k tops ... and would personally hold out for a 3.0 if you want an estate ...

That is wayyyy over priced, i paid under 3k for my X reg facelift manual with 80k miles nearly a year ago.

Looks nice but don't pay over £1700 for it.

Ouch! :o That's a lot of cash. You must have got a decent warranty with it though?

Reg Vardy? Warranty?  ;D

Had a fiesta with 3 month mechanical warranty that did not cover the engine mounts!!!?!!!

They hold the mechanicals in  ;D

Free serviceing for life though. Manufacurer compulsory only, not recomended parts of the service.

STAY AWAY FROM RV!!!!

Thanks for the advice (and confirming what i suspected)

Does sound a nice motor though, spoke to the dealer, very helpful, he wnet out and gave the car a good check for me as I am a distance away, sounds immaculate, big pile of receipts, including cambelt this year, also been chipped, you get the new and old.

All in all sounds exactly what im after...High end estate, with Cloth and Manual.

But...Tis a bit on the dear side for the age and milage, think I will leave that one there and keep my eyes open for something better.

Thanks again.

Either that, or wait until he realises he aint gonna sell it at that price, and make him a 'realistic' offer.

I've noticed there seems to be quite a  difference between dealer prices and private sales on comparable Omegas
