I looked at this last November, it looks excellent in the pictures but it is total rubbish, the service history consisted of a receipt for an alternator the glovebox is broken & the bodywork is none too good, it had to be jumpstarted & misfired badly whilst running,when i lifted the bonnet there was steam/smoke visible i laughed when the seller said "all diesel omegas do this", I cannot upload the ad but the item number on e-bay is 110755128616 this seller also has 100% feedback, only guessing on my part but i think ex minicab.

Thanks buddy, yes that is the one!! Luckily did not travel too far to view it, eventually bought a mint 2.2 petrol off the bay had to travel to Kent though but well worth the trip.
-
Guessing the mileage is suspect as well then if it's an ex minicab.
-
Glad you never got bitten , looks ok from the outside like you say :y
-
i cant be sure but that looks like what the customs dog handlers down at dover used to drive around in they had a fleet of 10 i think.. and all regs ended s f f:y
-
Yes i also thought the mileage was very suspect judging by the very poor interior , could clearly see car had been well abused & for that kind of money i would want a very nice one!!

It says "First to see will buy" - that is false then ;D ;D

Don't know if I was the first but nobody in their right mind would buy this car, honestly you have to see it to believe it, he has reduced the price by £200.00 since I viewed it, but it is not even good enough for spares!!

"All Diesel Omegas smoke and steam a little under the bonnet"... Hmmm.... I wonder if he'll buy mine then, it only drinks a gallon of oil/tankful diesel too... ;D ;D
