Post by: Nickbat on 09 May 2007, 23:53:56: Ronnie, you're one hell of a teaser! :)

Can we guess?

Model, date, engine, trans, faults, purchase price, expected profit.
==========================================

Omega, 2000, 2.5, auto, cambelt goosed, £700, £1500.

How many did I get right? ;)

Post by: Ronald_McBurger on 10 May 2007, 08:09:00: Close on two.

OK, decided I cannot do this one at the moment, so here is a chance for one of you. I can get the boot, rear bumper etc locally IN THE SAME COLOUR IIRC today!

Needs very little to make this a superb car.

Post by: Markie on 10 May 2007, 09:21:50: interesting project Ronnie, so what do you think it would be worth fixed with the cat d tag? 25% less than book?

No i`m not buying it! ;)

Post by: V6_MAT on 10 May 2007, 11:40:24: It says ELITE but it doesn't have any leather seats - was that not standard that year, or is something fishy going on?
Title: Re: Possible Ronnie project 2007/3 spotted.
Post by: Ronald_McBurger on 10 May 2007, 11:44:06: No, leather was an option as was the VERY rare sports pack that laidback had in his facelift eite.

I would say it is worth 40% less as a selling price, but it would be a lovely car to keep. Should be a 51 reg.

Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 10 May 2007, 11:56:25: Not quite true......leather was an option on 2.5/2.6 Elites....standard on 3.0/3.2.......

To much paint work required on this car for my liking....and filling, straightening etc.....not worth the money beng asked by any means....

Post by: Ronald_McBurger on 10 May 2007, 14:39:51: yes and no. As this is a 2.6, my statement is true. So there! [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

What paintwork? Back needs pulling a touch then new boot and bumper, one side repeater and job is a good'un.

Worth every penny in my book and If I sell the other one quick enough I will have that.

The bit below the drivers side repeater that is totaly out of shape and has no paint left on it....

Post by: Ronald_McBurger on 10 May 2007, 15:09:39: Yes, but as the one in the breakers is the exact same colour, I am not worried.
Title: Re: Possible Ronnie project 2007/3 spotted.
Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 10 May 2007, 15:13:50: The rear quarters are welded on.......so it will still need paint even if you fit one from a breaker....

Post by: Admin on 10 May 2007, 17:48:31: Sorry mate, I'm with Mark on this. That is way too much money at the buy it now.
I would pay £500 tops.
Title: Re: Possible Ronnie project 2007/3 spotted.
Post by: Ronald_McBurger on 10 May 2007, 21:20:59: rear quarter? Not changing that, just pull out the dent and a quick spray in for about £70.

£500 will not buy that car. 51 reg Elite for £500? Not a hope in heck. More chance of your Mrs driving a Fiat Cicento thingy.

Post by: Danny on 10 May 2007, 21:31:11: aaaaah he's retaining the plate aint he!! smart move!

are they prepared to disclose the reserve price?
Title: Re: Possible Ronnie project 2007/3 spotted.
Post by: Admin on 11 May 2007, 07:53:58: I will be interested to see what this goes for.

Not a hope of it getting anywhere near the buy it now price.
