What about this!
« on: 26 April 2010, 23:59:15 »
Talking about low mileage Omegas on another thread.

What about this one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-VAUXHALL-OMEGA-CDX-TD-AUTO-BLACK_W0QQitemZ170477866283QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item27b145cd2b

Rather low mileage for the year, or is there something wrong somewhere.

Seller says a new engine and gearbox :-?

Mick ;)

Reading the ad I think they are implying that the mileage stated is for the new engine/box. I just wish I could get 33 round town in mine!

Personally I prefer an original but tatty car to one that has been worked on, and that goes for both body panels and mechanical bits.

For example I would prefer a car with original faded paint and some (minor) scratches but that never had any body or paint work done to it, to a newly-resprayed one. A freshly painted car may hide unseen horrors that will emerge a few months later.

Some of the work done on older cars is substandard, and the only way to ensure that you will not suffer from a bodged repair is if you do it yourself...

Needs checking against old MOT'S (Dunno if this can be done online not being the owner etc), hope he hasnt adjusted the mileage to that of the new engine.

3 owners and such low miles :-? just a little odd if you ask me.

Garage clear out in March 2011 and I will have a large amount of omega parts going very cheap.

Can easilly be done, for example, Father buys it doesn't use it and doesn't want to keep it due to not using, passes it on to a child who then sells it on as he doesn't like it, new owner then gets it and does the same as the original father but doesn't sell it. I've had cars before with more than 5 previous owners and low mileage purely because they've been passed around a family  :y

Safety Features:       4-Wheel Drive, Alarm, Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), Driver Airbag, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Immobiliser, Passenger Airbag, Rear seat belts, Safety Belt Pretensioners, Side Airbags, Xenon headlights


Elegant Vauxhall Omega in outstanding condition. 4 Doors, Automatic, Saloon, Diesel, Midnight Black. The car has 25.559 miles on it and this mileage is with the new engine and automatic gearbox for which I have full documentation for.

Seems the mileage is on the new engine and gearbox, wonder if the problem was due to the 4 wheel drive system.
