If you read the bottom of the VERY LONG advert, its a woman trader... not very common!  :-/

I paid £245 for a years tax for my 3.2.  :y

Finally managed to get through the advert. Too much use of bold, large font and highlighting for my liking.

Seems to be an honest seller though :-/ :-/ Although, for a seat that's supposed to have seen little use, it seems more creased than I would expect :-/

I don't think the seller will be able to part with it, sounds like they've fallen in love with it!
Also, they tell lies, no v6 Omega can be classed as economical.

Looks like a reasonable car - only observations I have are the boot badges are not right - maybe a sign of a repair at some point, but it does look well looked after.

Didn't even notice that till you mentioned it ... saying '3.2 V6 Omega' rather than 'Omega 3.2 V6'? Do the Elites normally have 'Vauxhall Elite' on the back, ive seen a few pics on here but the ones ive seen only say 'Vauxhall'.

Maybe had a bit of a rear end shunt and repair in the past?

Although, when I read the ad and got to this point ...

The car has NEVER been in a major accident or stolen

My immediate thought was ... Ok, so what 'minor' accident(s) has it been in, perhaps I am just over cynical  :P

This is Nathans post from the 'Gallery', with the Factory fit badging clearly shown. Looks like someone had a penchant for chrome badging on the one for sale here? :-/

Question.
Hi, Has this car suffered any kind of damage whatsoever no matter how small as the badging on the bootlid is laid out totally different to when the car first comes off the production line. Thanks.
Answer.
Hi, Thanks for getting in touch. You sound like your a bit of an 'Omega Expert'. I can see no evidence that the car has had any damage or paintwork but I suppose it is possible that at sometime in it's life it had a scratch or a dent that required a repair....as I said in the advert I got it as a main dealer part exchange so haven't owned the car all it's life so I guess there is no way that I (or anyone else) could be absolutely certain!
I hope this answers your question, just trying to be as honest as I can be but again I can see none of the usual evidence of a repair but I guess I would have to ask if it had had the boot painted for any reason would it really matter?

This may be of some help. I actually bought my omega from the seller in question last year. It had the same detailed description for my car and i have to be honest it was pretty much spot on. Very nice person too and very professional.

If i was after an Elite (in my dreams at the moment ::) id have it :y
