And he only paid £2500 or less off ebay for that one, still in my watched list.... ::) ::)

Took me to the add, the blue 2.2 I may have bought but only want auto, the red estate is too strong, money wise, I should have bought the green one when I had the chance..... ::) ::)

A few members here have bought from him, they have reported excellent customer services and very fine examples.

His costs are high, but like the Estate on there. Find another 45k miles 3.2 Elite Estate for less  ;)  :y

You can get a hemi version, I think it's a 5.7 V8 which you can pick up for under 10k now

Someone near me has one in white on 22" rims with a Bentley grille not my cup of tea but does sound the business :)

If I had £4,000 spare I could be very tempted with this one from him:

I always believe you get what you pay for, and I reckon this dealer is one of the best in terms of a quality offering, and judging by how many are "sold" I believe others feel the same. :y :y

never brought from him but have met him a couple of times and yes i would think he would have excellant customer service...mind you with his prices i would expect him each week to turn up and give the car a wash...but then saying his cars are always nice

I don't know RB personally, but his prices are 'other worldly'......Source the low mileage Omega's before he gets his paws on them and save yourself a couple of grand. :y :y

For example, 2002 2.6 CD saloon, 44,000 miles, looks in nice condition from the photos and allegedly has full service history! £1495  :)

The reality of course might be very different and it might be a complete dog!!  ;D  I wonder if the cambelt has ever been changed!!   ::)

Mileage is really only a "number " which doesnt really indicate the condition of a car imho.

An Omega is a large executive car and as such would be expected to have done a few miles.At 10 years old and covering less than 60k which equates to 6k a year I bet that has only had oil changes annualy and brakes every 2 or 3 years.

Personaly I would prefer to see 100k on that age of car with a proper history.Its ment to be driven not left unused for weeks on end or just a 5 mile drive to the golf club and back twice a week which won,t have done it any good at all.

Not saying it is not a lovely looking car but that price tag is very top-heavy

Is a omega really worth this sort of money

Or is it april fools day?

I have two immaculate omegas in my garage.

Find me another 3.2 Elite Estate, sub 50k miles for less. That's in running order and with MOT ;)

Four grand does seem a hell of a lot for a car of that age

Which ever way you cut it a 10 year old standard production car irrespective of the mileage is just not worth a price tag of 4k +,unless you really want to spend that in which case we have found a dealer who is happy to relieve you of that sort of cash.

Your money /your decision ,Simple as that

One example of just loads.

More miles. Not Estate.

£1.5k more than RBs Estate & £2k higher than his saloon.

The way I see it is this;

I'd rather spend £500-£1000 on a car which needs general maintenance and tidying up then spend a few hundred on making it the car it should be.

I'm quite sure though, that some people (quite rightly) would rather spend a lot more money on the initial purchase saving them the time and effort getting it to A1 condition.

I guess not everyone enjoys maintenance, has the ability to do it, or quite frankly can't be arsed.

As has been said on here a million times.... "A car is worth what a person is willing to pay for it".  And who can argue with that?

I personally know the owner of that Garage!

I wouldn't buy a car from him!  That flat tyre would be a optional extra!  ;D ;D ;D

That's about it, I paid 2.5k for a 2001 MV6 manual in 2011 I knew a lot of people would think I was mad but I wanted needed it on my drive  :)
