what do you think?
« on: 15 April 2008, 21:51:59 »

Hi, been looking at this omega for myself for work it is exactly what i want and guy said he is looking for about a grand. I know the abs ecu is an issue but take that out for now and do you think its worth it?

I would look in to a bit more as it was on ebay back at the start of Feb and sold so i would be asking why its back on with the same seller. ;)

Garage clear out in March 2011 and I will have a large amount of omega parts going very cheap.

It does look tempting, 3.0 manual etc but why has'nt he Mot'd it?
   Might be worth a punt but tread carefully. He wants a grand, offer him 5 or 600 at auction end but view it first. He may be desperate to sell, leaves you some spare cash to fix it up. 8-)

Iam 99% sure because i was going to bid on it but the price went higher than i was happy to pay for it. The photos of the car are in the same place and the winning bidder in feb was a motor trader an won it for over £1200 but if i was you ask the seller as to why its back on ebay and go from there. It might even be worth asking on the forum if a member with a tech 2 who lives close could go and have a look for you.

It all stands to be the abs ecu which to be honest you can drive without it, have my road angel for speed. There is a map feature on the forum but it wont let me get into it, do you know why?

Too many unknowns ....

How long has the speedo not worked ??? so what is the TRUE mileage

ABS ECU could be an expensive fix

Air bag light = MOT failure .. what does THAT need to fix ?? might just need a Tech2 .. but could be something much more damning ....  

I would only look at it for £300-£400 with a view to breaking for profit. Then IF .. big IF ... it is fixable maybe sell as a runner.

Would be a MOT fail and knowningly driving it with a defective safty system could be interesting insurance wise though
