Looks a basic spec...

[STMO123]

I thought that....but looks like the elite badge on the rear?

[TheBoy]

Actually, you are quite right. Its just an early elite, so no ECC etc...

this confirms what i saw at auction...

At BCA Blackbushe in Surrey i saw a 1999 T Reg GLS with 24k miles (bull) interior was shagged, rear bench in the footwell. Most seats in very poor state, badly worn steering wheel suggested 150k miles +

Scratched bonnet really badly, front and rear tow point covers missing, bodywork had loads of dents... how much did it go for?

£795!!

Its not worth anything in bits, as its a GLS... no climate no nothing...  :-/

I dont geddit. I dont know that much about auctions (enough to get by I think), but if I went to an auction with a grand, I'd expect to be coming away with something decent.

i'd expect trade prices, i only saw 1 omega go though the tatty one. But there were some bargins there, later on i saw acually sold... not coniditional... sold!!

01' Y Reg Jag X Type 2.5 SE - Cream Leather usuall trimmings 80k miles sold for 3.5 k!

Excatly the reason i dont go to evening/weekend auctions.....too many 'joe public' around to push up to silly prices

Go during the day...when most are at work and you mostly only get dealers.....more sensible prices  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

i would't mind seeing a police auction... interesting to see how much '02 or '03 plate plod omegas go for... being the last ones wonder if they had any extras.

I saw a 52 plate plod omega with CDX alloys from a dealer.... which had come direct from the police.

Agree about daytime auctions - i am off to one on Wednesday afternoon when the office jockeys are at the ....office - no offence to anyone i am one myself on normal wednesday afternoons!!

will take a couple of grand and would expect something easy to sell and low maintinance.

But its a lottery so you never know!!

[STMO123]

Sometimes auctions have cars going through at silly money. Clearly this was one of those times!

£580 + comission = double what I would pay!  :-?

How much exactly is the comission?

[Markie]

local to me  there are various % to be added in. i generally go with £100 per £1000 of the sale price to keep me right. For a car like that - if it was in Glasgow auctions, it would end up costing you about £650
