how much is it worth?
« on: 04 December 2008, 21:28:12 »
i have a 1997 Omega CDX v6 estate.

the head gasket has just gone, and dont have the time to fix it...

the car is 100% complete....

how much is it worth and the scrapyard has only offered me £50 for it

can anyone shed some light on this????

thanks.

You would probably make the most money by breaking it for spares, apart from that maybe £100 imo. :-/
Edit; are you sure the head gasket has gone ? it isnt very common on the v6,but a knackered oil cooler will give similar symptons i.e. lots of oil in the header tank.

Have a word with Mutant Cav or one of the other breakers on the forum. Would of thought £100.00 was a fair price spares or repair.
