Title: Odd request
Post by: venom on 05 July 2010, 17:06:35

As topic says an odd request, I'm wanting to get my first Omega Estate but have never seen round one, so would anyone on here live in the Oxford/Didcot area that would let me have a look round one so I can get an idea what a decent one should be like.

Cheers
Ken

I'm sure the seller will let you have a look around it without obligation - he is a popular member here, and a trader so knows a few things to look out for.

Ken,
You'd be more than welcome to have a look over it...no problem  :y
It's not with me at the moment, it's currently having a respray, but once it's back I'll send you a PM.
I'll go through the common faults and things to look out for etc so when you look at one you want to buy, you'll be armed with all the details you'll need.

exactly what i was thinking.

i unfortunately get people calling me about stuff for sale from all 4 corners of the country when i'm selling and rarely do people go so far for a commonish car with a poorly described ad imo

I'll travel any distance but I know what you mean, the way I see it is if I didn't go and see it I will always wonder what is was like and was it the one that got away, then it would be even worse if the next one I looked was a dog it would do my nut in that I didn't go and have a look, I think I need help!!!!!

I did go and see it and wasn't to bad apart from the rear arches but will hold on and see what else comes up.
