DP;

The only thing that bothers me is the short MOT - If you looked after the car so well, and KNEW it would fly through an MOT, surely you'd stick a ticket on it?  All should become clear tomorrow (if it doesn't sell before then).

Before he, or anyone else buys it...

Use this link https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla 

As said earlier, with the V5 Reference number as well as Reg/Make you can get the complete MoT history which will soon highlight any mileage discrepancies... it does also tell you if a car requires a VIC before the keeper can be transfered

HPI check will tell you if it has previously been written off etc

For the right car, I'd do the belt anyway, regardless of ANY paperwork.

And possibly test it too. Don't want an mot too near winter, personally.



Edit, actually, ask the seller to test it before purchase as part of the deal. If it passes, happy days. But the bushes will likely be buggered regardless.

That's where I'm at with this particular car.  Regardless of condition, it will have a ticket prior to purchase (if sale progresses).

New tyre's fitted to the front suggest either a careful owner, or bad tyre wear to the front axle.  All been noted.

And, Derby isn't a million miles away - so if it turns out to be less than a peach, we'll turn around and say farewell.

'Hark at me - almost like I'm the one buying it!

Tell the geezer to pass on my comission

[Lizzie_Zoom]

Did someone not buy a similar red saloon from RB for nearly double that price recently? This one seem to be a bargain in comparision.

I wouldnt be surprised if it re-appaears on RB's website with a substantial markup soon.

LZ IIRC, but with RB you know you will get an answer if there is a problem.  This seller is unknown.

That said, I sent the advert to my Father who is seriously considering the car.  I'll be pissed if he buys it though, it is a belter.

Yup, it was me, but just £3,400 after p/x of the old 3.0.  I haven't regreted it with the car being a delight every day I drive it. I have pampered the car and spent money I needn't to have but for me my (now 61K) last of the run 3.2's is my long term car, not just for the short term. My reckoning is that the late large engine Omega's can only eventually increase in value as time goes on if they are looked after..

This estate is very interesting, and tempting due to it's apparent great condition. Not just the MOT situation worries me a bit, but the chap states there was "One previous owner from new and owned by me for the last 10 years". What is that all about?

Advert clearly says 55,000 miles twice, so not a typo, yet in the first picture of the dash, zoomed in the mileage looks like ?28273 and in the second picture, the 8273 are clearly visible although the first two digits are hidden

As Stmo suggested yesterday, summat isn't quite right... I would definitely be doing an MOT history check on that

I think one previous owner and then this chap for the last 10 yrs.

25277 I read it as

something dosent add up at all

[The Sheriff]

Here are the odometer readings listed on the current MOT. As I said earlier, this means it's done thirty-odd thousand miles this year. Strange.

It is odd,your right Al it does have 20 odd thousands in the pics,unless these pics are old,ie soon after the last mot

[belldarr]

Looking at the car it has the tell tale signs of a car that has been well looked after, all the documentation is in A1 condition like it has been filed carefully away, Dealer serviced and Service dates co-incide with MOT dates, MOT dates all are in October so no random or late MOT's,  stainless steel exhaust fitted, engine bay looks clean (not tarted up), sticker for the K& N filter applied and plenum bolt covers in place, keys look like new, sales brochure in immaculate condition.  Car has Irmy steering wheel and grille, mudflaps, immaculate wheels, boot liner to protect the carpet, removable towbar, car is clean inside the door shuts and boot recess.  This car has been pampered and had a loving owner, probably someone on this very forum!

I think the sellers had a change of circumstances that mean he is using the car more hence the higher mileage in the last year and he now wants something more economical. 

I am nothing to do with the sale or seller - but if I was looking for another Omega I would be on this guys door tomorrow - in fact I am amazed it has not been sold already as it is probably worth more than the £2250 he is asking.
