Title: 2001 facelift MV6 2.6 auto
Post by: webby23 on 23 January 2010, 19:07:51
Hi all

Well, I have finally decided to take the plunge and try to sell our much loved MV6 2.6 auto.

First registered on 1st March 2001, with full service history and 7 stamps in the book, plus last full service done by Mark DTM at 91982 miles on 2nd April 2009

Standard MV6 spec so if not sure what that means please ask.......!!!

Cruise control fitted and activated by Mark

She is in Jade Green Mica, a lovely shade of light metallic green with a hint of gold in the summer sun......

3 previous owners, currently showing 102120 miles, but in daily use so may go up a little during the period she is offered for sale....

MOT expires 13th April 2010, although if she goes at the right price I will MOT it for another year, flew through with no advisories last year thanks to Mark DTM

Taxed til end of February 2010.

Cambelt, auxillary belt, waterpump and tensioners done by Mark DTM at 87405 miles

Minus points

1. Air con doesn't work, may need regas, may need investigation work.

2. Small puff of smoke at cold start. Mark DTM informed me that she was made during the cheap valve stem seals period so more than likely that. A known problem and nothing to worry about I believe. Uses about 1 litre of oil every 1000-1200 miles.

Starts, stops, turns as it should.

Gearbox up to date with software thanks to Mark and changes up and down as it should.

Engine very strong and pulls well.

Ran faultlessly during our family run to Normandy, 4 up and fully loaded.

Been totally reliable in the 16 months we have owned her.

Overall condition is very nice, smart and attractive. By no means mint but very very presentable and smart looking car.

Comes with Nokia 6310i and fixed in car Nokia kit.

Offers, viewings, questions invited by PM please

 :)

Pics to follow shortly

To be honest mate I have no idea at all what to ask for her so I am taking offers and the best one will secure.

All offers considered sincerely

Sadly I dont have the Vauxhall badging etc as did a swap with a European OOF member who wanted to turn his Opel into a Vauxhall.

Cheers

Strange how things change.

I enquired about this last year, then you took it off sale. No problems about that BTW :y

Sadly after owning two Omegas I now don't.
I might still regret this, I keep saying but needs must, I keep telling myself.

Anyway sorry for the off topic reply, but good luck with the sale, looks good :y

Mick ;)
