So, my search for a mint elite continues..... there is one currently on autotrader which does look very well cared for with 95k on and a £2,000 price tag. It may have everything done then again it may just be shiny..... apart from FSH and the cambelt being done what else would I need to see receipts for and it does have some rust on one rear arch (slight so it appears) and a bit on the rear badge (its an estate).

So just how long is a piece of string

 However good it is, I doubt it will fetch that much.
If you really want it, make an offer.

better build quality than the facelifts and a rare early survivor so depending on how long you keep it may even go up in value not down.

I would say 2k not going to far off the mark, millage could do with being a tad lower, but would need to be a late'ish year. FSH, 12 months ticket, good alloys and tyres with good interior and exterior and all the Elite toys working. Elite Estates seem to be a bit rarer over Saloons these days and hence worth a bit more.

Bare in mind even the last ones off the production line now are 13+ years old, I still reckon another 13 years from now they will be collectors cars fetching good money.

I'm currently preparing a nice 3.2 Elite for sale. Currently about 3/4 of the way there. Just needs a few little jobs to make perfect. I'll be advertising for around £1395.00 once done with 12 months MoT.

I have seen that one but I am after a newer shape one, I simply like the look of them better, it also has to be original, i.e no aftermarket headunit in place of the Bose etc. I agree with the black estate on autotrader it is top money and I have spoken with the owner, he will not reduce the price at all due to the amount of work done on the car.... fair enough I guess, ideally I would go for a saloon as I don't need an estate and I actually prefer the look of them, one without a black leather interior would also be nice as that seems to be the common combination out there, a gold body with beige leather is ideal (in my humble opinion)..... or silver with grey leather.

Agree but the seller is stuck on that price, also when the cd changer is in ' safe mode ' what does that mean ?

[berserkerboy]

Think that means the battery has been disconnected and the radio code hasn't been re-entered. Should find the code on the car pass, usually tucked away in the owners manual wallet.

This early model brings back memories    I was the first person to place an order for an Omega the order was placed long before it was available for sale and Vauxhall was going to arrange a special presentation for me.  My 1994 3.0 saloon was later replaced by a 1996 3.0 saloon.

Not sure a heated windscreen ever fitted to an Omega - but could well be proved wrong

People look at the demist symbol and assume ......
Same as the 5 speed auto & more than likely the limited slip diff

and why the mention of the Lotus Carlton?

It's missing a foot pedal.... all proper cars have 3 don't they?

You're confused ..... proper cars just have the two .... GO & STOP
