I'm  assuming, it was owned by an Old person, towed a bloody great pikey box, every bank holiday, and has werthers in the glove box.
Whomever buys it will need to budget for, full service, wishbones, geometry, and possibly brakes.

This area is turning into a mahoosive dormitory area,furk all else here,just thousands of people deep in debt trying to convince their selves that they are living the good life! Can't speak for Chris Gixer,but I'm pretty sure that was one of his reasons for bailing out. :-\and good luck to him :y P.S Huntingdon why not? ...curry,Serek 8)...have I missed someone out?  ;D

Cheaper house prices, if you sell your sprawling estate, and buy up these er'e parts you will have a BIGGER , estate than his Lord Opti  ;D

He will certainly need it ;D

Post by: omega2018 on 26 June 2016, 19:16:25
final bid £1,658, he had reduced the reserve but it was still above that :o  now £2,200 buy it now!

if anyone wanted an omega as a classic car would they really choose a 1994 estate auto oil burner (no disrepect) :o

i've put in a bid of £50.;)


 :-\



Hope he doesn't accept it

Think this is a case of not knowing the real worth of an item,it's only because we are experienced enough not to be over impressed by the low mileage etc,because we know that there are items on the car that will need to addressed based purely on its age.Also the 'bullet proof' BMW engine claim is a bit iffy,as when speaking to Serek a while ago he did say they do have reliability issues,So yes a bit on the unusual side to find such a vehicle in this claimed condition but as a classic...no not really, and the price ....some non Omega person will buy it and may well regret spending their hard earned on a 22year old car,that will never appreciate in value. :-\

Can't really believe that anyone would pay over £2000 for it,around £1500 maybe. But personally I would rather have a later V6 petrol saloon.
