Looks a nice one .. dont see many in white :) 3.2 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Omega-3-2-V6-24v-Special-Auto-2002-02-reg-/290899792457?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43bafa9249)
-
been played around with as door strips inside are odd
-
its bound to be ex police thats why door cards are cdx type,hes done some titivating to smarten her up!
-
Its ex-police, which has been made quite tidy. :)
-
Plod.
-
he does not know if lsd fitted or not :-\
-
Mileage seems a touch on the low side :-\ especially given what it used to be and also stated as being a working car :-\ not much in the way of history either...
-
I know the chap selling it actually, so I'd expect it to be completely kosher.
I believe it's ex Met, so the mileage is more than likely genuinely low. There are quite a few '02' ex Met auto's out there, normally begin LV02.
-
Got to agree with Josh on this one,two of my cars are ex Met..3.2 DPG car came at 40.000 and the 3.0 has 68.000 both check out history wise unless the old bill is into a bit of 'clocking' etc :-\ ::)
-
Fair dos :y
Without the full reg, it's a bit tricky to say what is or isn't normal... most of the TVP cars had between 120k and 140k when they were sold off, but the Met cars struggle to do 50k in service. I might have forgotten that ::) whenever I see a white Omega I always instantly think TVP first then Scotland second...
-
My first Omega was a 3.2 Plod auto estate, and I had very few problems with it.
The 3.2 lump sounds far better the the 2.6 which I now own.
-
I'm surprised the ad doesn't mention that it's ex-plod. :-\
-
There's no doubt that would be sitting on my drive tomorrow ... now who's got a wad to lend me ::) ;D

Keep looking, Police cars are often abused, that one looks like its been clocked too.
Get yourself a nice Elite with all the toys :y

STMO has £7295 to spare. I'm sure he'll be willing to help a fellow OOFer. :)
-
o look somebody trying to sell a nice clean car and the usauall culprit slaging it off,
as was said met cars struggled towards the end of omegas to reach the standard 100,000 by the 5 year sale time.
also it could have been a pool car hence nice n clean and low miles.

Too early for me to make a punt although Mr Tunnie says avoid and get an elite ... Ive seen a Nice Sport omega on the egay ::)
-
I've been trying to call the guy and contacted in eBay to view
Only down the road, so if its not already sold could be mine very shortly :y

I am going to view tomorrow only round the corner from me really surprised I haven't seen it about
It's genuine believe me, the guy knows his stuff
Ex met car, last 4 mot to back mileage up plus proof of sale from Simon I think his name is down in Poole at ex police car sales, where it was sold in 2010 with 60 something K

96k is very low, says receipts going back to 2009. So suspect thats when it left plod, so add in one would have been done in 4 years, does not really add up.
Very bad wear on the drivers seat, mines done 160k and no way near that kind of level.

my 406 has done 199k and the interior is unmarked,I see others that have done half the milage and they are trashed,Josh reckons the guy is straight so could just be a low milage ex plod ;)

Doesn't necessarily mean it's been clocked though, I could show you a 60k miles 5 series with worse wear than a 170k 7 series :y.
-
Does that also look like it's got an NCDC 2013 in it too ???.
-
Like mentioned before, it come from ex police car sales in Poole in 2009 with I think they guy said 62k on, he still has the bill off the sale from them with the mileage on
Before this it was the direct from the MET, I just text the guy for the V5 number to confirm on direct gov that it adds up, but tbh it already does :y
-
As expected I done a full HPI and mileage check and all checks out
I will let you all know how it goes tomorrow and if its sat on my drive by the weekend :y
-
swmbo would like that. For that money, if nearer it would be on my drive, she wants another estate and is not at all bothered about 'extras' big auto and quick is all she wants in a car........ ::) ::)

Agreed absolutely with regards Joshs' view, as verified by the HPI check :y
These Plod cars make a very good base for building an Omega to the exact spec that you want/need/desire, with all the trims etc being readily available from various breakers 8)
Good luck with it Daz :y

Surprised that it apparently comes from Lancashire :-\
My first 3.2 manual, reg WA51YNG, was a Devon and Cornwall car registered new in Exeter.
Had been clocked at some point as well :'( (bought it with 127k showing, but had to remove the cluster to change a bulb and found a sticker on the back saying '99 3.0 Auto).
When asked, Devon and Cornwall admitted to having owned the car, but only because they were named on the V5...

A trader that I used to do a lot of work for tried to buy all of his ex-plod stuff from Devon and Cornwall as he was on good terms with the police workshop manager and could get good info on the vehicles,he is sadly departed now but used to see some nice vehicles from him going right back to Triumph 2.5pi's and Victor 3300 days :y
