[M-Tek Performance]

well, i was at ym local motor auction tonight (thurs).

absolute madness!!!

now im no expert on Omega pricing, but i think ithis was rediculous.

T Omega Elite 2.5 V6 saloon
136k miles
no tax
cant remember MOT, but dont think it was that long
drivers side rear quarter window not fitted, just on rear seat
Bose stereo
c/c
leaking cam cover gasket
needs passenger seat replacing
NOT leather
needs 2 rear arches

now for me, i wouldnt pay much for this car, but £580 imo is a joke!!!!  im going to put my 3.0 N Reg elite with full test and 6 months tax and 106k miles, leather, no leaks, new water pump and timing belt kit there.  reckon i should pull decent money!!!

go on, someone tell me im being silly and £580 is a good price..  you'll never convince me though!!  the car was dog rough!!!

...you'll never convince me though!!  the car was dog rough!!!  

Ah, but in the right hands...  

[M-Tek Performance]

why buy a shed at what can be conceived as over priced to spend time and money on doing up, when you can buy a car in far better condition for not much more than £1k!!

my car might be an N reg 3.0, but i'd sooner have my car than the 2.5 at the auction and have to worry about having 2 full arches replaced.

[Admin]

Sometimes auctions have cars going through at silly money. Clearly this was one of those times!

£580 + comission = double what I would pay!  :-?

[M-Tek Performance]

exactly Dave, at £280-£300 it MIGHT of been worth it, but having arches done properly isnt a cheap job..

my mate nearly told him about mine for sale LOL  didnt have the heart to tell him..

[M-Tek Performance]

guess its just me and dave then  

[TheBoy]

Does seem expensive, but difficult to judge without seeing. At £580, it could still be a bargain - if you broke it....

[M-Tek Performance]

perhaps it could be, but the interior isnt worth anything due to the passenger seat having a hug hole in the base etc..

[Markie]

yup the money is in the breaking.

£100 for the bose

£50 odd for the rear bline

Another £50 to 100 on alloys

You can see it gradually add up!

[Markie]

.....throw in the mid and headlights, headlamp washers and stereo/cd and your about even

You can see it gradually add up!

[M-Tek Performance]

didnt notice a rear blind and the mid wasnt the full sized one?

[TheBoy]

Elite will have blind, and the mid would be half size if it had the ccrt700 radio (it uses a half height GID)

[M-Tek Performance]

that will be why then!!

[STMO123]

£580 sounds way over the top! OK, you could break it and MAYBE make a few bob on it, but hardly worth the effort.

[STMO123]

This one is probably better for breaking/fixing
