Not sure how much to advertise my Omega for
« on: 04 March 2007, 12:34:47 »

Right, the time has come to sell my Omega, but I'm not sure how much to advertise it for as I can't find something similar on the auto trader.

It's 1997 3.0 V6 Elite automatic and is LPG converted. The LPG is sorted now and it runs fine on it. The mileage is at 128,000 and it has 1 months tax and 7 months MOT. The car's dark green with black leather interior. All the walnut trim has been replaced with the carbon fibre stuff from an MV6.

No service history, but has the receipts for the parts I've bought for it, including cambelt, gearbox fluid and filter, oil and filter, air filter, pollen filter, spark plugs, cam cover gaskets and two front tyres.

It does have a few problems - the steering feels a bit vague, one rear tyre needs replacing, there's some rust scabs on the doors (chassis and arches are solid though), there's some scratching on the windscreen from a dodgy wiper blade and the headlamp washer jets are missing. Oh, and the grille has a lot of stonechips on it.

Any ideas?

I was jesting about the £200... If it's multipoint LPG.. look for over £1k...

It's not a multipoint LPG system unfortunately, only a mixer system, but it seems to work fine and isn't slow or anything on it.

I'd expect £1500 if it was mint and had full service history, which it doesn't and isn't. I was hoping for around £1100, but I think I'm being optimistic.

I'm only selling it as I'm picking up a new (to me) car on Tuesday.

For a quick sale 800ish should be OK. If you can wait you might get 1000. It will all depend on how well you advertise it and how good the pictures look.
