Hi guys, im not looking to change my minifacelift td elite as i love it but im just wondering if anything did ever happen to it i would want a facelight version in elite form with leather and all the goodies etc,
my question is this, how rare is this combination as ive never seen one for sale on here and ive only ever seen maybee one on autotrader in the last year.
my other question is what kind of money would i be looking at for a totally perfect example with no faults, great exterior, great interior and all the goodies, i suppose it depends on mileage so lets say around 100K as thats almost what mine has now,
thanks guys for any ballpart figures,
Alex

about£2k,have seen them for as little as £800 but that looked like a bit of a dog hth
-
2.5 TD facelifts are quite rare in themselves, but a 2.5 TD elite moreso.
-
I've only ever seen one Facelift TD estate on my travels, most are DTi.
Did a search and there's not many Facelift TD's for sale in any spec.
Now go find a TD Facelift estate, for sale that is.
Rare old beasts. ::)
Mick ;)

yeah thats exactly it, so for an excellent example, which it would need to be to replace mine would be around £2000 depending on mileage of around 100K because probably arnt going to get one that has less then that or around that area, my 1998 had 88K when i bought it in july last year
-
There been two 2.5td saloon elite facelifts for sale in GAtesheads in the last year.SAdly both were autos but both fetched good money(with alot of interest in them)
-
Just wondering how rare Facelift 2.5TD Elites are?

I saw them both, They are NOT Elites.
I am not sure of the difference between Facelift and Pre-Facelift to be honest is why I posted.

Are you really dim? I saw them and did not post them because the OP wanted an Elite.
They were NOT Elites so I did not post them.
SIMPLES ;) ;) ;)
P.S. Why did you modify your post, 'did not look far' has been deleted, cos you were having a pop at me AGAIN.
All I did was a quick search and could only find a 'T' Reg Elite, and you came back with that. WHY?
-
i cannot be bothered to argue, but just posting links to ones that could be specced up. Why did you post details on pre-facelift when he was asking for facelift? ::)
-
ok well thanks for eveyones comments, basically they are very rare which is bad and because of that the price is relatively high, it was just a thought as i love mine and and never leave it unless somthing major happens which fingers crossed it never will, keep those oil changes frequent and be aware of idiots behind you :)

Because, like I said in earlier posting I am unsure of the difference.

2.2 DTi (once chipped) its actually more powerful, also has more torque. Impressive considering its 300cc smaller in size and missing 2 cylinders.
Its not as smooth as the beemer engine though, i'd go for the 2.2DTi as you would have much greater choice

and also only available twith 3 pedals, some prefered the option of an auto that came with the 6 cylinder.

We had an 'N' Reg one a long time back on taxi's.
N313HAE
CD Spec if I remember.
Was rebuilt by insurance company twice, maybe 3 times.
It once ended up in someone's living room on a sunday morning and Fire Service removed driver through sunroof, likea cesarian section. Had it back and it was rolled outside Cyfarthfa Park 2 days after being returned, and a few weeks later was rebuilt again after being rolled on the A4060 (Slip Road).
Then was sold in part ex, and I saw it 9-12 months later showing 96k on clock and when the company sold it I know for a fact it had 195k on it.

-
My Facelift 2.5 TD is a CD spec with a manual box but ive fitted facelift MV6 alloys, self dimming rear view mirror, rear electric blind, elite rear spoiler and i've got grey facelift leather to fit so its as good as an Elite ;)

I am still dubious if an insurance company could tell the difference between a CD, MV6, CDX specs on a 10 year old barge like the Omega, and what was 'original'
The 'it was like it when i bought it' argument can be used as well, as they are so old and many Omegas now will have had quite a few owners

I agree. The insurance companies can't expect everyone who buys a secondhand car to get in touch with the manufacturer and ask what it left the factory with before taking out insurance ;)

2.5 TD facelifts are quite rare in themselves, but a 2.5 TD elite moreso.
very rare, might be a case of a facelift and add the leather to the car, although you miss the self level etc..
possibly more likely to find a spare irmscher bodykit for a facelift than you are a 2.5td elite facelift.

td elites came with cloth as std, leather was a charhable option. Much more likely to be auto on elite though...

Err.......So the car had been "rolled twice" and driven presumably through a brick wall into someones house and it was still survived to live another day.
Bit like that Toyota wagen on Top gear then ;D :D
