Title: Omega Elite
Post by: 2011venator on 04 March 2020, 13:19:35
Hi Omega owners anyone bidding or been to check out the Omega Elite on Ebay seems to be creating quite a bit of interest and is up to 2k+ so far.

Decent condition and very low miles, so Im not surprised the bidding is going pretty high. Low miles seems to be the most important factor when selling an old car. I don't necessarily agree with it, but that's the way it is.

These sellers think that if they use a name like 'Gayle and David' they'll sound all respectable like. Gayle and David wouldn't con us, would they? Not fickin much  ;D

Well of course I’ll second you on the builder part, and my names not Dave and my wife’s name is not Gayle I don’t think :D however would you like to make a medium investment in cheap China holidays?

WTF! £2,800, with 6 seconds to go, for an Omega complete with MOT corrosion advisories on the front chassis legs.
Just because it's not star silver maybe?
I really don't find the high bidding credible.
And even if the bidding is legit, I doubt that anybody will be happy when they look underneath.

Many people don't think about what a car is like underneath, or check the MOT history
if it's shiny and polished on the bits they can see and has a long MOT then it must be good  ::)
what many people don't know is and MOT pass just means it reached minimum standards
many important things on a car are NOT even checked at MOT ,clutch,gearbox,blowing head gasket,etc etc

If it is relisted son, then we will know the bidding wasn't genuine. It happens very regularly on ebay.

In Germany it would have catched at least £1000 more.

Low milage 3.2L V6 is sought after among the Omega crowd.
