ANOTHER DO NOT BUY
« on: 10 February 2012, 21:05:05 »

I looked at this last November, it looks excellent in the pictures but it is total rubbish, the service history consisted of a receipt for an  alternator  the glovebox is broken & the bodywork is none too good, it had to be jumpstarted & misfired badly whilst running,when i lifted the bonnet there was steam/smoke visible i laughed when the seller said "all diesel omegas do this", I cannot upload the ad but the item number on e-bay is 110755128616 this seller also has 100% feedback, only guessing on my part but i think ex minicab.

Guessing the mileage is suspect as well then if it's an ex minicab.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Yes i also thought the mileage was very suspect judging by the very poor interior , could clearly see car had been well abused & for that kind of money i would want a very nice one!!

Don't know if I was the first but nobody in their right mind would buy this car, honestly you have to see it to believe it, he has reduced the price by £200.00 since I viewed it, but it is not even good enough for spares!!

"All Diesel Omegas smoke and steam a little under the bonnet"...   Hmmm....  I wonder if he'll buy mine then, it only drinks a gallon of oil/tankful diesel too...  ;D ;D
