Title: DEAL OR NO DEAL
Post by: handy on 28 February 2008, 19:48:03
Hi everyone

Ive just bought a 2.5 v6 petrol omega, new shape with 80,000 miles on the clock with sat nav, xenon headlights and all the extras.

My question is what kind of money would this be worth so as i know if i had a deal or not.

Its got service history up to 70k and is in very good condition inside and out, The only thing it dont have is leather seats.

Cheers

I'm guessing its a 2000 MV6 (plod or retail), CDX or Elite....

looking again this URGENTLY needs its cambelt done if its not documented since its last interval of 40000. Be aware of the impact this may have !

Is it a vauxhall SH and does it state the cambelt has been done or not?

Saloon / Estate?
Auto / Manual?
Many Many Variables!

Where was it bought?

Auction?
Ebay?
Private?
Dealer?

These can go upwards from £1000 depending on source and condition


You have given us next to nothing to go on here.....

Quick look on Autotrader....

Fair few similar starting at £1300...

There are cheaper outlets....

Youve gone dealer, so likely have warranty etc.

Under £1500 youve probably done well

You could easily pay from £1500-£3000 at a dealer


There is such a wide range of these, please dont take offence if we are wildly off the mark  :y

Not bad at all from a dealer...
I paid virtually the same for my MV6 Estate

If the car hasnt had a cambelt kit within the last 40000, change it NOW (with the water pump), 80000 is a tradition mileage for having this done at, so most likely not done as the garage bill could be 1/2 what you just paid!
Probably also worth doing a few short oil changes - 1000 mile ones, you will be suprised the difference it can make.
Also go for a full service of Air & Fuel filters, and change the coolant.


And most importantly, enjoy your car!

Value is a funny thing, I'd give you £2.5k for a car I like but wouldn't give you £2.50 for 1 I didn't...
