2003 Vauxhall Omega 2.6 i V6 24v CDX 5dr Estate Auto
JUST 73,000 MILES / LEATHER
On offer for £3980 . . .Not for me at that price
But how much more would an estate be worth over the same details and spec of a saloon.
I keep waiting for a sub 50k 2003 Elite, dont mind saloon or estate, but even then I would expect a 1 owner car, full service history , full MOT and brand new decent tyres all round for that sort of money they want for a CDX

Mis print Mr Skrunts . . .should be £39.80p ::) ::)
Well may be £398 is more realistic ;D ;D ;D

It's a classic, dealer who knows it's worth break all, but is happy to pretend in case some nutter whose just off a boat decides it's a bargain.

theres one born every minute ;D :-X :y

My CD is in really good order, it's worth £1,000 at best although priceless to me for sentimental reasons

It's only worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it ......

I went to my local VX dealer to look for a stand in so my omega can be returned to summer use and when the sales staff found out I had an omega they asked how much I wanted for her several times and with some enthusiasm.
It's a bit of an odd position to be in but just like people asking about her at petrol stations etc, welcome to the world of omega

Aaaaaand there's your clue. ::)
...and in case you missed it - they want to sell you a new car!
If they genuinely wanted an Omega they could go on ebay and buy one for 50p ::)

And that is why I insure my 2003 3.2 Elite auto for £4,000.
It is helping me greatly at the moment, although I may have to fight a battle with the AA who did not feed my policy documents valuation down to Ageas. Some confusion there and an investigation going on.

Do you have an agreed value Lizzie ? I have with the Mercedes limits me to 5,000 miles pa & car must be garaged, does put your mind at rest if anything does happen.

Yep, as with mine. :y

As close to reality as the £1000 valuation mentioned earlier.
My silver, CD spec Omega - once well known on the forum - was a 2.5v6 with LPG. Elite alloys, Bilstein shocks, polybushes, elite leather / heated / memory interior, huge amount of history etc. It was up for sale for a couple of months and eventually sold for £360.
It was heartbreaking to sell it for that after all the work that went into it, but as always, they are worth what someone will pay for them.
Imo, the absolute top price for any Omega now would be 2 grand, and it would have to be a really good example coupled with a keen buyer.

Hmm, shame your after a left hooker (I assume), I can get pretty close to that if you in the market for a RHD.

I don't understand the reasoning behind the insistence on a low mileage car. A well looked after example with a lot of miles on the clock, may well be a better car than one with low miles which has spent much of its life sat around doing nothing imo.
Don't see any reference to a left hooker either. :-\

No, wrong member, was thinking OP was in Spain :-[, been working Nights, really doesnt agree with me or whats left of the brain. ::) .

Welcome to my world. :D

That is very disheartening migv6, I'll look into this agreed value for my insurance renewal after all, there are fewer omegas on the road every year and there value should start going up slowly ?

Indeed. My estate was 63k with FSH and didn't run as well as my 177k saloon.
-
I found that taking mine from occasional use in the summer to every day cost a fortune, things like water pump bearings started breaking down and it needed a massive overhaul
-
I have always purchased low mileage cars with service history never had any problems with any of them.
-
I guess it depends on time, a 2 year old car with 5,000 miles on it isn't likely to play up and has every chance of being reliable.
A much older car say 17 years old for example with sub 30,000 will probably suffer from seal failure and be costly to get relabel, however once there should cause no further issues

Why?

My '54 plod was a case in point... over 285k, 170k in my hands, and beyond regular servicing (oil/filter/pads 10k, plugs/filters 20k, discs every third pad change, coolant every two years and belt every 80k), it required two hbvs, clutch, two exhausts, camcover gaskets, fuel pump, new shocks all round, four sets of wishbones and a crank sensor. Only had one significant problem, which can only be attributed to heat failure of the 246 coilpack wiring loom. New loom resolved it.
Not bad for a car that worked for 9 years straight.

Being in frequent and regular use with similar maintenance are FAR more important than low mileage. A few years back, my sister bought a 35 year old car with a genuine 18,000 miles and I followed with a slightly newer car with about 60,000. Both needed complete hydraulic rebuilds, new tyres, various bearings, hoses, wiring and other fettling before being used daily for several years. Newer cars are even worse for electrical faults, as they don't suffer from the atrocious Lucas connectors and inadequate earthing that are the real problem of The Prince of Darkness. Modern cars don't allow for the simple cleaning/tightening up/replacement of the connectors, and welding a cheap M6 bolt(as a dedicated earth) to the bodywork near the electrical units that has never failed to eliminate problems for me, so you actually have to do some real work to fix the faults.
