For example, 2002 2.6 CD saloon, 44,000 miles, looks in nice condition from the photos and allegedly has full service history! £1495  :)

The reality of course might be very different and it might be a complete dog!!  ;D  I wonder if the cambelt has ever been changed!!   ::)

Mileage is really only a "number " which doesnt really indicate the condition of a car imho.

An Omega is a large executive car and as such would be expected to have done a few miles.At 10 years old and covering less than 60k which equates to 6k a year I bet that has only had oil changes annualy and brakes every 2 or 3 years.

Personaly I would prefer to see 100k on that age of car with a proper history.Its ment to be driven not left unused for weeks on end or just a 5 mile drive to the golf club and back twice a week which won,t have done it any good at all.

Not saying it is not a lovely looking car but that price tag is very top-heavy

Which ever way you cut it a 10 year old standard production car irrespective of the mileage is just not worth a price tag of 4k +,unless you really want to spend that in which case we have found a dealer who is happy to relieve you of that sort of cash.

Your money /your decision ,Simple as that

One example of just loads.

More miles. Not Estate.

£1.5k more than RBs Estate & £2k higher than his saloon.

The way I see it is this;

I'd rather spend £500-£1000 on a car which needs general maintenance and tidying up then spend a few hundred on making it the car it should be.

I'm quite sure though, that some people (quite rightly) would rather spend a lot more money on the initial purchase saving them the time and effort getting it to A1 condition.

I guess not everyone enjoys maintenance, has the ability to do it, or quite frankly can't be arsed.

As has been said on here a million times.... "A car is worth what a person is willing to pay for it".  And who can argue with that?

I personally know the owner of that Garage!

I wouldn't buy a car from him!  That flat tyre would be a optional extra!  ;D ;D ;D

That's about it, I paid 2.5k for a 2001 MV6 manual in 2011 I knew a lot of people would think I was mad but I wanted needed it on my drive  :)
