...Only 9,000 miles :o

18 years earlier, or possibly later that might be worth that kind of money. ::)

Looks good ,
@9000 miles ,with £20,000 depreciation (assuming it sells for 10 bag 'o' sand)
equates to £2.22 per mile :o, not including fuel,tax,insurance,MOT,service etc
someone might be happy to pay £10k
after all............. where would you find another :-\
-
Engine Bay looks nice and clean for Tractor, Coolant Colour looks a bit iffy though for 9000 miles.
I doubt that will sell for that sort of money, being what it is, 9000miles on an Elite or MV6 might be in with half a chance but you never know with eBay, theres always someone out there with more Omegas than sense, sorry, I meant more Money than Sense.
-
Although it's only done 9000 miles, all of the components are still nearly 20 years old. Many of them deteriorate over time, so any buyer should still expect failures; rubber parts like hoses and seals are particularly prone to this.
It's not worth more than a few hundred quid more than a 150,000 mile beater that's in daily use to me. And that's entirely due to the condition of the body and interior.
-
I would say the seller is delusional......or hoping that a delusional Omega enthusiast will buy it. :)
-
.......it does not even come with a V6 lump, instead it comes with an engine from a cement mixer. :-\
-
Not worth 10grand seller must be completely nuts.
-
It's pretty unique, as Omegas go, so as a seller why not try your hand.
I mean, if it was yours and it went up at £5k and sold in hours, you'd feel a bit of a mug...

Poverty spec........derv.........undesirable colour that is far from unique........
Just about the worst Omega available.
£700......because of the low mileage.
-
.....on reflection perhaps I'm being overly-generous.£650.

He's looking for top money, should have employed a decent photographer, instead of using his bloody phone, . And that means my ultra rare MV6 should have been @£5000. That had full history from new.

Bonnet gaps aren't even on the front corners, and the Buy It Now price is the same as the opening bid. And it's got the wrong gearbox... Unless the price includes a new AR35...
That said, it is unique and clearly looks clean, but not sure if it is genuinely worth half that :-\
Interestingly, it has been MoTd every year, which is reassuring :y

I would prefer to spend the money on my own omega to make it mint,and it wouldn't cost half that money ;)

Isn't varche looking for one of these, and as I'm heading that way soon, I could drive it down there for him, after it's had the ar35 fitted ;) just a thought.

if someone is going to the trouble of removing one devil's work gearbox ,why replace it with another , may as well put all 3 pedals back in as god intended ;D

Because I have two feet, hence two pedals.. :D. Even my works vechile has two pedals now, so it must be right

Normally, in the case of Omegas, I'd agree with everyone saying autos are the law. The Omega manual is awful.
However, the auto box is just unsuited to the Omega TD, and the engine is much, much better on the manual.

Don't trust everything your employer tells you :D although yours does have the best automated manual available ;)

Ive said this before and I,ll say it again, on the 3.2 Manuals that were fitted with the R32 boxes, fit a short shift and bend it slightly towards the Drivers side and its a whole new experience, especially when the LSD kicks in. ;)

But cement mixers don't need an engine change every couple of months. ;)

Not any more. I have had treatment that cured me.
By the way, varcheland now has a strict one in / one out policy. We are currently in Northern France waiting for you to take your flight over. Hope you have a good holiday. :y
