No bids on it yet , i recon it will go for £400  ;)
I'll say £200 not a penny more, Needs allot of work doing to it and allot of ££££ spending involved.

Even though its as bad as it is i'm surprised it hasn't had a bid of 99p as there's a scrap yard under a mile away who would pay around £150-£220 for the Omega I'd imagine, Plus you could take many parts off it  :-\

Agree with tunnie on this.

If you think that one is bad, you should see the state of my shed  ::) ;D

Well it's either you have low expectations and mine are high, either way its still a dog. I stick to my estimate on what it will make £200.. ::)

I just don't see the point in slagging something which maybe someone's pride and joy? Just because in your opinion its bad? Often things that are in bad condition/poor keep look bad, but priceless to some.

What does it matter anyway? Really pointless thread really, "look at this average Omega, look how rubbish it is"  ???

Did you consider it may belong to a member here?

Taking a closer look, at a glance:

The engine bay is really quite well kept, clean and bodge free.
Seat covers in place, so seats underneath would be in good condition. (slight assumption)
Rear tailgate, under the wiper arm has very little rust. Seen 03 Estates with more rust there than that one has.
slight damage to front bumper
Rest of the body work in good condition.

Could do with a hoover & nice clean, but that's not the cars fault

Add to that the donation, I really fail to see why you want to slate it so much  :-\

nope, mainly due to the fact he thought it was an elite.

Many log book errors out there, our Elite Estate is apparently an "MV6 Elite".

According to the log book  ;)

From what I could tell its been abused and had a hard life, something odd about this Omega doesn't add up and most likely seller is hiding somethinh that's why I started this thread. I doubt it will last long in its current condition mechanically... Definitely not as good as seller is stating it to be IMO ... If admins feel this tread is "pointless" delete/lock if you see it fit to do so..

Me being me.
 having read what the op has said,
. Is there some unfinished buissnes between him and the seller,?
. Just seems he putting down the car a bit more than they usually,do with a bit of fun,this seems like all out war. I could be wrong.

Seen worse - certainly would not describe it as a dog - just because the owner "misdescribed" it as an Elite ???

And why knock his donation and suggest he shouldn't be driving?  Some people are small minded :(

Glad I was not the only one thinking this, I saw original advert it said Elite only once.

From what I can see its not been abused, its had seat covers put on, the rear tailgate has no rust.
