I would give that one a wide berth...

Its already a lot of money - remember its ex-plod, no MOT, and a fault that obviously they have been unable to fix.

my old car sold 18 months ago was reasonable but has been changed hand a few times and done another 15k,  no idea about the heads, sounds dodge, and no mot, i am bidding on it but its not worth more than 600 quid as changing the engine will cost that again plus cost of mot etc, back to square one, 1500 quid for a car worth about 1500 quid!
i have 3.2 in the shed so might buy it if its cheap.

i just won the bid on this one at 550, needs shipping, mate has haulage firm and will be doing me a favour in the week to collect it.

i sold it for 2500 feb 08 with 121k
so its only done 7k and had a chequered past, apparently the guy doing the work on it moved premesis without telling the owner, who told the police who saw it on their anpr camera while it was on a trailer, and seized it back off him, hence the works not finished!

I am hoping its a simple fix, but time will tell.


i can get most omegas given time,  i had a nice 3.2 elite sat nav leather etc.  its with a specialist dealer now for £5995.   but it was mint and had 49k

i doubt i can get one for less than a bag of sand tho bud lol.
i aim to get them in, and nock them out for about 1500 or 1895 refurbed with stereo and roof paint.
