Hi all,

next week (w/c 14th January) my Omega "Morticia" will be up for sale - I'll put it on Ebay to give it the widest audience, but here's the info for anyone on here who might be interested:

2000/W (facelift) Omega GLS 2.0 16v Auto estate WITH LPG CONVERSION.
122,000 miles (or thereabouts), lots of service history, Tax until end of March (PLG rate), MOT till March, but will put 12mths on it.  136bhp 16v engine.  Returns around 20-25mpg on LPG (70p a litre) - or equivalent of 40-45mpg compared to running on unleaded at £1.30 a litre 

Solid black with grey cloth interior.  MV6 door cards, MV6 centre console trim, new Climate control panel.

SPEC:  Electric front windows and mirrors, remote central locking, alloy wheels with locking centre caps, power steering, adjustable steering column, dual zone climate control, electric adjustment of height of driver's seat, heated mirrors, PARROT CK3100 Bluetooth Handsfree kit (worth £150), rear load cover.  Tinted 'privacy glass'.  Roof rails.  Body coloured bumpers.

In the last 12mths its had:  Full service, Cambelt, aux belts and waterpump, new cam sensor, LPG system repaired and serviced (over £200), new alternator, all tyres replaced, rear main oil seal replaced and breathers cleaned (over £300) and handbrake adjusted.

Condition:  Overall pretty good for age and mileage.  Bumpers have a few scuffs, the driver's side mirror cover could do with changing (spare included), and there is a patch of rust on the tailgate under the wiper arm (common on these apparantly).  A rust patch under the LPG filler has been treated.

I've spent about a thousand pounds on repairs and upgrade parts for this car, and I know I'll never get that back and its my loss.

I'm looking for £695.00 OVNO, this car is fully sorted and ready to give good, reliable family/workhorse transport for many more years.  It did nearly 2000 miles round France in 2012, loaded to the gunnells with family and luggage and never missed a beat.  I've had the car since December 2011, and have done 5-6000 miles - a third of that being last years holiday.

I'm also selling all the upgrade stuff I bought for it:

Front fog lights and wiring loom
Elite velour interior & door cards
MV6 door cards
Electric rear window motors and wiring looms
Tow Bar (one mounting plate missing though)

I'm replacing the car with a small MPV, but cannot procede with the purchase until the Omega has gone.

Any viewing / test drive welcome, please get in touch if you're interested.

thanks mate, got interest in it already, so hopefully I wont have to go down the Ebay route and she can remain on OOF 

Gonna ring the MOT station tomorrow and try and get her booked in for next week, current MOT runs out in early March, so I might as well stick 12m on it

Cheers,

Claire

OMG, I've just added up all the receipts and all the mental notes of stuff I bought for the car over the last 12 months....

lets just say I've spent the wrong side of £1200 !!!!!!!!!!!!          

£180 of that was the Elite interior and various bits to upgrade the exterior though.....

Whoever buys this off me at £695 is getting a definite bargain!!
