Title: How much do i need to rob from the bank????
Post by: BobIsHere on 31 March 2010, 20:15:47
Due to have surgery in 3 weeks time on my ankle so need an automatic, fancy an omega elite, having had a cdx etc previously and a senator 24v some time back. So my question is how much should i expect to pay for a top spec omega? S or T Plate or maybe older for the right car, prefer pre facelift, want dark red black or blue and must have leather and have auto and cruise any help, suggestions greatly appreciated..

You missed a stunning Elite TD Auto on eGay a couple of weeks ago in Wednesbury. I went to have a look and it was spotless! It went for a little under £900.

If you need someone to have a good look over a potential car then gimme a shout Bob :y

I used to help out on the severn valley before my accident so been to kiddy a few to many times and of course stourport.

ive looked at that one a few times on fleabay.. didnt know if it was overpriced or right money i only know i sold my v plate omega 18 months ago for 500 quid and thats what they were making then, ok it wasnt an elite but bit out of touch, hence why i came here to be pointed in the right direction...

Thats not over priced Bob, its spot on IMO. I paid just over a grand for my facelift CDX on the same year couple months ago :y

He's a dealer so I'm sure he'd be open to offers. I'd want to look it over properly first though. It's one of the first facelifts so I might be tempted to look at 6 months older making it a mini-fl.

Could a kind mod drop this thread into General Car Chat please?

all too technical for me.............. thanks i think

knowledge is power, I didnt know if it was cheap or not or realistic..

All these facelifts.. still a nice car.. I was thinking older than V anyhow as i prefer the older look, dont ask me why, guess it depends on the car that one is nice.

Are they problamatic or good cars, remember my senator was so reliable never had any issues.

Omega's are great cars!  Classless in my opinion and if you get the right one, very well specced!  Better than the equivalent BMW and alot cheaper too!

I'm the same, I've had it for about a month, but that gold paint with beige leather interior is not growing on me yet!

Can't wait to get my old MV6 back ;D

i like the dark red on a omega with black leather that would be ideal choice but doesnt seem alot out there..

i had a champagne omega think it was a cd with beige leather, i bought it cos it was an auto this was years ago and i hated the interior that much i sold it.. so think i best give champagne / beige a miss.. didnt help the last owner had smoked like a train in it.. even stunk my garage out...
Title: Re: How much do i need to rob from the bank????
Post by: jonny2112 on 31 March 2010, 22:29:50
My mig is champagne and I like it. I think the facelift looks really well in that colour too, but my interior is dark, and I'm not sure I could handle the beige. Would probably need to rip the interior out and start again  :D
Title: Re: How much do i need to rob from the bank????
Post by: BobIsHere on 31 March 2010, 22:31:55
can see with dark interior it would work just not with beige.. but hey its still a seat and leather and comfy.

Mine is exactly the same,detests silver. Might be connected to scary memories from my silver shovitt that I had when I met her. :-/ ::)

Think that colour all came with either beige or shale interior (the deep, red wine colour paint?)

I must confess, I do feel that Champagne paint, beige leather inside, and a 2.5 v6 is just a little too homosexual for me....  ....probably the worse combination possible ;D

I don't know who would think the beige leather is a good look? I still like yours outside TB and maybe when you're looking rid ....  ::)    we'll see
