Want to come back to Omega owership estate wanted
« on: 29 January 2010, 18:51:10 »

Hi all,

I'm trying to get back into being an Omega Owner, this will be my fourth!

Anyway, if anyone sees a good estate for sale near me (Hertfordshire) - can they point me in the direction.  Am scouring ebay and have checked the for sale forum here but cannot post - been a member ages, but too shy to say much!   ;D

Cheers,
James

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments!  Looking to spend about 700-800, no more really or my wife would have something to say about it!

Yeah, I saw that, although I really need an estate if possible!

Seemed a bargain though, I could have been tempted I reckon ;)

I have a lovely 99T 3.0 Elite in Star Silver for sale soon. 94K FSH. I've had it since a year old and it had 17K on it when I got it.

I'm just waiting for a couple of jobs to be done on it by a forum member and then regretably she'll be sold. I don't use the car any more and I'm damned if I'll let it deteriorate. Having said that I'm damned if I'll give it away either. Been meticulously looked after and great nick. 4. new Michelins (£500) 3,000 miles ago.

Difficult question. I couldn't ever see myself selling it which is why I've had it so long and I know when she goes I'll have made the wrong decision. If one of my mates rented the car and ran it daily I'd never sell it but she has done only about 4,000miles since summer 2007 and it is a waste.

I can let you know when I've had the 2 jobs done which will hopefully be in the next week.

I'm always out in my Ssprinter van and I also bought a 02 Merc 7 Seater estate in summer 08 (if you want to know what a back door delivery feels like buy and pay the repair bills for one of these) so miggy doesn't get out at all really.

I'll keep you posted. Send me a pm with your details if you wish.

Sent you a PM so as not to clutter the thread up.

Still on the lookout in the meantime!  Especially for something closer to me in Hertfordshire! n

A £1000 will get you a 2000 registered (V plate) facelift 2.5 CDX Estate with 110K miles, new wishbones, shocks, droplinks, tyres (all 4), oil cooler, and everything working in it as it should with 12 months test and 6 months tax.
It's had 4 owners from new, comes with full dealer service history, and the cambelt is still good for 15,000 miles before needing replacement if you change it at bang on the 40K.

Let me know if you are interested and I'll get some pics mailed over to me.

Sorry mate, I'd love it, but it's over budget for me I'm afraid.  Keep 'em coming though!

Thanks!

I'm sure the guy selling it would take a slight drop on his asking price, but if £800 is your absolute upper limit then make sure whatever you look at has had the "common" faults (eg, wishbones) sorted.

A cheap tyre for the MIG is £50, and things like poor geometry setup (caused by failing wishbones, poor alignment, etc) will see those tyres ripped to shreds in no time at all.

Good luck with finding the right one.

Thanks mate, I'm not necessarily expecting a minter for my budget, but should be able to get something good.

I've lots of experience of Omega Ownership and that's exactly why I'm after another, you're right that there are some common things which have to be done, but if they haven't then I'll just factor that in to my price!

Hoping to get one from another enthusiast rather than some random ebayer, fingers crossed!

James

Two things!

1). I have for part-ex if you like, an X Reg Megane Scenic 2.0 16v Sport Alize with 11 months mot and tax.  Good condition but high miles.  Comfy car!  Not expecting much so happy to PX for your Omega

2).  I can add Paypal to a deal (I am confirmed, 300+ feedback on ebay, lots of itrader feedback on other forums etc. etc.) if someone has something good!

So, try me folks!

Well unless you want my Froggie MPV in part ex, it's likely out of my budget but please send through the details once you know for sure whether its for sale or not.

Whereabouts in herts are you?

James

No Probs, James, should know in a week or two, really got to many Migs at the Mo, as also restoring a couple of ex plod saloons at the moment as well so might need the space.

Im in Cheshunt, J25 M25, but the Car is in Epping, may have some Pics later this week.

Cool, well let me know - i'd be coming from St Albans if a deal could get struck, but as we've both established, currently over budget!

He might very well be interested in a part X James, he's looking for a cheapie MPV for his missus & her kids.

I can't get hold of him to confirm at the moment, but I will post back when I get hold of him.
The car is in Sunbury, which is about 40 minute trip around the M25 from you.

What sort of general condition is the car in, and what do you call "high" miles?

Hi there,

Overall, cosmetic condition is good and no dents or rust to worry about.

The noisy tensioner just makes the engine sound a bit whizzy but it's safe and hasn't got any worse

mileage is 130k but will go up!

Cheers

Have replied to your PM James.

Not so sure why you need it taxed before you buy, because you can tax it yourself there & then if you decide to buy and have a valid insurance policy in force.

That aside, if you are unable to tax it yourself then tax can be provided but that pushes the bottom line to £900.

Thanks mate, but as I mentioned, I've hopefully got something sorted with a straight swap for my Frogmobile.

Thanks again for all your help!
