Cars for Sale & wanted / 2004 Ex-Plod 3.2V6 Manual Saloon
« on: 26 June 2012, 13:36:11 »
Messed about on eBay - yet again!!!! 
Some t1t bidding on it, then getting in touch with me after the auction ended saying he's been made redundant so can't complete sale!
So anyway, she's back available now if there's any interest on here?
The 2nd-motorbike looks like it's gone out the window, now am needing a 7-seater (long story!).
Sick and tired of being messed about, so 1st £1500 cash takes her.
If you want anymore info, or to arrange a viewing, either PM me on here, or phone me on 07815 794119.
Up-to-date Photo's and Advert text posted below, similar to what was in the eBay advert (apologies for the waffle!):
Cheers folks
2004 ("53" Plate) Vauxhall Omega 3.2 24V V6 Manual - Ex-Police Saloon
This one of the very last Omega's, being registered on 1st Feb 2004, by Wiltshire Constabulary.
Owned by me since 2008 - hunted high and low, all over the country, for about 6 months in 2008 looking for another ex-Police 3.2 Omega, because I didn't want an Automatic. I wanted one as new as possible, with as low-mileage as possible, with the Manual gearbox, that wasn't white, and that was a saloon (not that I'm fussy!!).
I'm the second owner (the first private owner, since her retirement from the Police in July 2008 at circa 96k miles). I'm told that she was an unmarked motorway police car, hence her being dark metallic blue (the actual colour is Nocturno Blue) as oppose to the usual white, and low mileage for an ex-Police car as unmarked cars aren't used anywhere near as much as the "stickered-up" cars.
She's done approximately 130k miles, but this may go up as is being used daily. Nothing for one of these engines.
Don't let the size of the engine put you off either. The 3.2 Manual is much more economical that the 3.2 Automatic. We've actually found it to be no different economy-wise than my wife's Ford Puma 1.7!!!
My Omega has been meticulously maintained - the Police certainly don't mess about when it comes to servicing. I've got the full Service History print-out from Police ownership (had over £12,000 spent on her!!!), and she's been regularly serviced in my ownership too.
A full new Cambelt Kit and Water Pump change, with coolant flush-and-change was carried by a Vauxhall Omega specialist (Elite Pete) at 119,731 miles on 26/03/2011, Crank Sensor changed by local Vauxhall main dealers too.
Typical for an ex-Police car, there were a few holes here and there where they've had aerials/equipment fitted. Two in the roof have been filled with grommets and fully rust-proofed so no worries there, and the ones in the dashboard I sorted by fitting a wood-effect dash from a high-spec Omega. There are still a couple of tiny holes here and there on the interior, such as on the passenger-side of the centre-console trim, but these are barely noticable and have never bothered me. The Police also fit an (in my opinion) ugly centre console "cubby box". I removed this, and fitted the standard Vauxhall Omega centre console arm rest back in its rightful place.
It's a very comfortable, practical car indeed - the seats are still comfortable after a long journey, there's bags of space inside (seated myself and 4 other adults in comfort on a number of occasions), it has one of the biggest boots I've ever seen on a saloon car, and to further increase it's load-lugging capacity for those trips to Ikea or wherever, the rear seats fold down too (which is quite rare for saloon cars I believe).
Condition-wise, she really does gleam!! I think she's in really great condition, and really does stand out. As to be expected of a car this age that isn't brand new, here and there there are a couple of light scratches, marks/stonechips, and pin-dents from inconsiderate folk not being careful opening their car doors on carparks, and a couple of scuffs on the front bumper that are hardly noticable - I was unable to pick them up on the camera. But I'm just nit-picking, they're to be expected from a car this age, and don't detract from the overall condition. Can't leave the CD Player in unfortunately, as it's my wife's and she wants me to fit it into her car, but I'll leave the facia plate and Vauxhall wiring convertor/adaptor in place, so you can just slot your own player in without any fuss or expense (the facia plate set me back about £20, and the plug-in wiring convertor/adaptor about £25) I'm also a non-smoker, so the car has never been smoked in, so there are no dodgy smells in the interior.
I put 6-months Road Tax on her at the start of this month, so taxed until the end Nov 2012, and is MOT'd till 19th Oct 2012 (passed with no advisories at all). So the car wants for nothing!
I've got both Log Books (the old-style blue/green one, and the new-style red/blue one), in my name and registered to my home address - I'm more than happy to prove this to you by showing you my photo-driving licence. There's no finance or anything owing on the car.

Whoever buys her will be a happy chappie or lassie!
