advice please
« on: 20 February 2015, 17:29:38 »

Afternoon all ,

Right ill start by saying this isn't an add, I really do want some help ,
I love my omega but with the wife off work with our new born , I need to lower the costs, plus i really want a phase 1 diesel omega.
Prefer the dash an looks , my fault really should have looked around for a few more weeks ,
So i have put the omega on ebay for what i think its worth . been on a week an not one call or even txt ,
never had this before always sell within a few days .
a couple mates say its because iam too honest but have always put everything on the listing,
so any constructive feed back would be more than appreciated ,
as i only have a month left on insurance an wanted to have my new omega by then ,   

Link removed

 :'(
cheers all

an don't hold back .

Link removed to comply with rules...  ...I believe the post was genuine, hence the thread didn't get nuked.

If its getting no interest on ebay, its either wrongly priced, or there are better ones available for the price (which amounts to the same thing).  Although the price you're asking does put it in bargain basement territory.

Any evidence of the timing belt having been done? Would help a buyer gauge if a big/expensive job needs doing or not.

I would suggest that given the 3.0 is a known entity, you're unlikely to get a 2.5 td for sensible money without having to spend a lot of money to get it straight. Only to then find the the higher price of diesel totally offsets the mpg gain...

My advice... Keep the 3.0 :y

These savings are imaginary, especially if you end up with an auto one... keep the 3.0 :y

no evidence of cam belt , have checked it an still looks in good condition , but yes a worry . as always usually change cam belt an water pump after purchase of most my cars ,
the problem i have is its not the colour interior i wanted an dont really like the dash on the phase 2s .
An as i said before with the wife off, don't really want to waste a small fortune on the car as not 100 % with it,
as is owes me 850
i know i should have waited , but it looked mint when i viewed it an thought i can change all the bits i want too later on
but keep forgetting i have another young'un here so no free funds like before for at least another year
so would be easier/cheaper to just buy one with everything already fiited , only after a 2.2 .dti phase 1 with black half leather .

So it is ::) will still be cheaper to keep than find a nice pre/mid facelift diesel, which will have a BMW straight six lump in it ::)

If you want a 2.2 dti, then you can only buy them as a facelift...

Nope, just a few around, sort of a pre-run of the 2.2DTi in the facelift but I think they found it was a tad underpowered.
