Don't know if it's the way that interior photo has been taken (trick of the light) but that airbag (steering wheel) looks newer that the rest of the interior. :-/
Just gets me thinking has it been replaced?
Why?
Mick ;)

looks same colour as my 2.2 (when its clean) go for it, the AT the old one.
-
What's that to the left of the headlight switch :-?
Looks like one of those alarm/imob thingies :-/
-
I think thats the traffic master button next to the headlight switch :)
Looks like a nice example - Colour screen as well.
:y

Just spotted that it has no headlight adjustment under the headlight switch which suggests Zenon headlights - but there are no washer jets in the front bumper therefore an MOT failure (from what I understand all cars with zenon's need a headlight washer system, maybe someone else can confirm?)....... maybe a replacement bumper at some point and hence the new airbag....

Very good point Darren, that is the Elite model, so comes with Xenon headlights as standard. The lack of the headlight washers, and slight colour difference between the steering wheel and airbag unit would warrant investigation. The vehicle must have been in an accident, just depends on whether that has been disclosed to the potential purchaser. Have you HPI'd it, could be a cat d?

Well Spotted there, yup, i'd said thats had a front end prang, airbag has gone off, and non elite bumper fitted (maybe outside insurance?) cause if they had gone that route, it would have been put back as an elite.
Double check the are Xenon headlines if you see it Max, and no just projectors.

Thats some good eyes there spotting that :y

well spotted.... it does indeed look like it's been front ended and cheaply bodge repaired...
if i point out the faults.... like the bumper and what not.... and if the inner wing members look unwrinkled.... what do we reckon a fair offer would be, bearing in mid the bumper and washer jets system has to be replaced?
-
anyone want to come with ???
-
you could keep the bumper and just drill the holes for the washers, but still not idea, should get a big discount on that being accident damage.
If it has had a bodge job on that fix though, whats to say they have not 'edited' the millage too? :-/

Well it is DEFINITLEY a different colour, that is a safe bet!!!!!!
-
If you're driving I'd come, I'll check in a minute I'm not busy. And as you know I'm not far away. I know a fair bit about facelifts so hopefully could pick up any faults etc.
I'll bring my trade plates to show I'm a trader ;D

If he's trying it on, he'll just tell you to eff off and look for a mug to buy it.

spoken like an experienced scouser. :y ::) ;D ;D

It's also got an NCDC2011 head unit which wasn't standard fit, should be an NCDC2013 for UK spec cars.
-
okay i'm convinced..... it aint a good idea.... thanks Josh.... might still be fun.... and frankly i feel some duty to do something before some poor sod buys it...

good spot.

Omega prices are still low, an 03 mig, 2.2 went on ebay for £821. That might be a bit expensive.

saloon prices are generally much lower than estate prices.....
getting frustrated now by how few estates are around within my desired parameters....
now also starting to look at Bmw 5 series, Mercs, and so on....
basically want a 6 cylinder luxury large estate ..... love to have a miggy elite again.... but .... if there aint none , there aint none.... i can't even see any on the common auction catalogues....
although there's a 3.2 MV6 in oldham.... but they want £2,5K for it.... i'd go that far for an elite with all the bells and whistles probably... but maybe not an MV6
what can i say... i'm a picky whiney idiot really...
phoned the dodgy elite garage this morning.... and gave them the bad news....
might call em back and offer them £500 ;)

Some very valuable and practical information given here, shows the true worth of this forum - well done to all concerned 8-) 8-) :y :y
-
I'm impressed by the eagle eyed OOFers!! :y :y :y
-
I am very impressed by all that useful info. Anyone buying should look here first. ;) ;) :y

called them back to see if they'd accept an offer ... "nothing we can do about the price" , nor would entertain fixing the issues which affect the vehicles suitability for sale ... despite being told i'd pay the asking price if ALL the issues were resolved... which i translate to being "f*** off, we'll find a sucker somewhere and hope he/she doesn't find out we've skinned him"
which i follow up as me wondering if there's some trading standards geezer somewhere who'd like to run a sting operation on them??
and , for that matter wondering if their behavior is entirely in keeping with the RMI badge they so proudly display
for the record....
