A quid? Seriously though, financially, not a great deal. Take my Elite (my favourite), a well maintained luxury car (no s/h, as done by me), who wants it? Whoever does, won't be for the same reasons I want it. It won't be looked after aswell therefore a new owner I think won't be prepared to pay much. My Elite I reckon with 6 months ish MOT, good condition, 120k, 600-700 max? I wouldn't let it go for less than 2k though so in that sense it's priceless  :D

Depends on the model, history and as daft as it seems depending on the buyer the colour will make a difference.

Mine are

V Plate 2.5 GLS Saloon Auto with 63K (Silver)
T Plate 3.0 Elite Saloon Auto just coming upto 100K  (Leather)(Dark Red colour)
03 Plate 2.2 CD Saloon Auto with 43K (Greyish colour)

Wonder what they are worth ::)

Its only worth what a buyer will pay for it - guess problem now is finding buyers for Omegas

I value mine at £270 that's only cause its got 12 months tax and £50 petrol in tank, but really it's priceless to me and my family if it wasn't for my omega we wouldn't have had holidays, days out and just genral fun in him :)

saying that that famous web site who buys cars values it at £105, I could get that for the wheels alone ;D

TBE - worth about thruppence hapenny. Not worth the gallon of petrol and the swan vesta, so it lives on.

Bullet - a 191k, 15yr old car, worth nothing, but wouldn't let it go for under £3k, as that is what its worth to me.

I wouldn't let mine go for less than £4k, probably more like £4500 ;)

And like the Bullet, nobody in their right mind would pay the sort of money we want.  Oh well, we'll have to keep them :D

Indeed. I have no intention of selling ;) Mind you, if the situation changes I may have to re-visit the price ::)

 Scrap man was poking around last week and asking to buy it  :( Ill let him take it for £800  :P ...thats what its worth to me to replace it .
Title: Re: what do you value your omega at
Post by: Bionic on 26 October 2012, 09:12:39
 ;) Easy answer (and ever the optimist)....I reckon its worth more than monetary sums......I will replace it when, and if it gets to the point when parts are no longer available. Until then it will be cared for and maintained to as close to its original standard as I can.
Hopefully it will eventually reach the stage where it is officially recognised as a 'classic' or better still a 'collectors'....maybe even 'vintage' will be possible (but not in my lifetime) :D

Paid £800 for mine it's insured for £1k.

Did an insurance quote on mine the other day and they valued it at £1500 .. with 100k on the clock and a rusty tailgate (and no working radio aerial, no working GPS aerial, a slight whiff of oil from the cam covers and a couple of parking dings thanks to my neighbours) I suspect I'd struggle to clear £1000 on it if I sold it.

Bit of a sod when I paid £4000 for it two years ago from Mr Budden. Ah well! You live and learn ;)

Also means the likelihood of me swapping it for a diseasel something (like the Pug 406 HDi discussed elsewhere) is slim as they'd cost more than the Omega would make at sale. Boo.

Paid £1100 for my 02 plate MV6 with 71k on clock. Think that was a fair price but wouldn't really expect to sell for much more, which is handy because I've no intention to  :)

Actually, that reminds me Aaron, thank you, insurers valued mine at 3k going by the glasses guide insurers use for valuations.

This is in recognition of the top end price, given the cars oe spec and condition. Then add in the irmscher stuff, 5k doesn't seem too unreasonable. :)

Not forgetting LPG either.  8)
