Title: Very interesting ebay omega
Post by: STMO123 on 19 October 2008, 10:12:15
This omega estate has been relisted. It was bid to over 2 grand the first time it was listed, but the reserve was £2500. It has now been relisted with a reserve of £1500. :-/

That's virtually brand new! What a waste of a good car to have only done that many miles.

I see it didnt sell.

Just shows how bad the car market is at the moment.

It may have only done 2773 miles, but the bodywork and everything else is 14 years old......I see this as an overpriced old car rather than an inexpensive car with low miles....not for me this one. :y :y :y

Its been clocked at some stage, the second 0 (zero) is out of alignment with the other digits, so don't believe all you read. Remember, if it looks too good to be true, then it probably is  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y :y :y :y

It may have happened before the current seller acquired the car. The paper trail will prove it. It there is a full paper trail showing mileage then it could be 'just one of those things', if not be suspicious.

On the one hand, I disagree. I've seen cars with a digit moved like that as the one next to it moves.
On the other hand, if it is genuine, he would have shifted it easily on the trader,so why ebay.

Such vehicles come on the market every so often. Could be moody but why would some one try to mis represent an early low ish spec Mig? Must be more profitable cars to fiddle. I think you'd have to go & see it yourself to be sure.
    Never liked the early steering wheels anyway, ugly part on a pretty car. ::) :-/

When any car leaves the factory the digits are correctly aligned and will remain that way due the precise nature of the mechanism. When they are wound backwards the mechanism cannot cope and at least one digit will become out of alignment. No one is going to clock a car upwards, mine has done 172000 and all digits are in line. Why is then that only those which are old in years but young in mileage are out of line.  :) :) :) :) :)

Edit: My missus has a 1997 Corsa and its only done 70K, possible.... but the digits are not aligned. There was also minimal paperwork, I therefore assumed when I bought it that it had been clocked.

Easy to believe 70k an an early Corsa as given thier purpose of a shopping car when new low miles are to be expected. :)

OK, thats fine and I understand. Try reading this, especially the 'Extra Info' section on the right. But its all worth reading.

True, i know it happens but don't think anyone would go to that much trouble on an early Mig.
  The one i posted above looks a much safer bet. :y
