Looks a little high to me, especially given the mileage. I would expect the starting price to be the buy-it-now price.

Tidy car, looks well looked after, 4 new tyres could be hiding work needing doing.

Not sure about the sat nav in the air vent. (better place for veiwing than mine in the Elite though)

Mileage too high for the price and they aint standard wheels

Trouble on four wheels. It's been messed around with by a chav. Give it a miss. Electrical fire imminent.

I don't think it's overpriced at all... Someone will pay that :y :y

But... Mine's an elite, virtually same age and mileage, similar condition and LPG converted. I wouldn't take his starting price for it on eBay ;) ;) I'd be starting it at about £1200 :y :y

Although mine will have a fresh MOT and new Cambelt kit (within 3 weeks or so) :y :y

£1700 for a 11 year old prefacelift omaga with 150k on the clock, non standard alloys, etc.

Coolant header tank is low, and the coolant is either old and dirty, or the incorrect colour,  which suggests a possible slow leak? 3.0's close to this era have HG leakage problems from the rear OS corner.

The pollen filter part of the scuttle isn't mated to the other part correctly, giving the potential for water ingress into the DIS...

The servo vaccum pipe has also been replaced/bodged, there are jubilee clips near the plenum and servo  etc... 

Granted on the face of it, it's  tidy example, but I genuinely wouldn't want to pay that much for it...especially in saloon form...

Agreed... I wouldn't pay £1700 for that car... And I don't expect £1700 for mine either ;) ;)

Although after Robsey's one went for over £2k last month I'm hopeful ::) ::)
