I'm in two minds. Should I sell my Omega?
« on: 12 July 2015, 20:12:47 »

It is a lovely  car but if it's only worth buttons it may be simpler to keep the old girl.

11 months MOT.

Keep it I'd say.

You have vast amounts of land to store it and insurance loose change and maintenance is peanuts.

You got to keep it, Opti. Why sell it for the price of a brake job when you won't find anything nearly as good?

Mary Whitehouse would recommend you wash your mouth out with soapy water for saying so.
Is the Signum that good? I may have to try one...... ;D

The thing is this. I'd want the thick end of a grand to part with her and nobody is willing to pay that.

Brand new pagid discs and pads.

A brace of brand new Goodyear Eagle As 2 on the rear.

Oil cooler changed 4 years ago.

You only want a grand for it?

Is there a big difference in price between 2.6/3.2? If yours was the latter I'm sure it would be worth at least £1.5k

Shame its only a 2.6 otherwise I would have had it.

And with the monies you obtain from selling, you can buy a full annual tyre package for the Signum. (possibly)

I'm not taking the piss now, I know how easy it is to spin up those front wheels.  Have you had a tracking check?  It will be suitable to have the alignment checked, as opposed to a full geometry set-up, colonic irrigation, double heart bypass and anal bleaching such as the Omega requires.

EDIT:  AND THESE THINGS MUST BE DONE AT SPESHUL PLACES.  YOU CANNOT *REPEAT* CANNOT HAVE THEM DONE ANYWHERE OTHER THAN PIXIE LAND!

I love Migs, but the V6 Turbo Signum is a belter.

And no!  I do not drive a piece of shit Astra in a very unpopular colour.  ;D

I think I asked that question on another post, in my mind they were only a 4 seater, having a fridge or other equipment in the middle of the rear seats............ :y :y
