What would you pay for an Elite ?

[Hudson]

Some are going for the very low hundreds with others close to £2000...... there are few around anyway but just what would you pay for a reasonably tidy and avg mileage 3.2 elite.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Reasonably tidy, possibly around a grand and allow £500 to spend on parts on top to get it just right.
If you don't do your own work and have to pay labour charges on top then it starts getting expensive. If you do your own work you should end up with a lot of car for the money.

Whatever I felt it was worth... I paid what many would say was too much when I bought mine but I'd spent over 2 years looking for exactly what I wanted

Everyone likes a bargain, But at the end of the day you will pay what you think is a fair price for said car... Plus a Omega bargain may not be a bargain in the long run, Same could be said about a expensive Omega. Still some nice ones pop up for sale now and again, Have a look & if you like what you see pay up and enjoy your Omega experience

Round and round we go

To put it in perspective, I paid slightly less than Roger Budden prices, twice what some examples (that didn't match my requirements) were fetching. All that knowing that it needed service, cam belt, a tyre (set actually as the other 3 were ditch finders) and an LPG conversion.

In numbers, the car cost me over £5k when I bought it 6 years or so ago. But even since I've not found a low mileage (at the time), late registered 3.2 Elite estate with dark exterior and light interior and all the options ticked (NCDC2015, CID, etc).

Would I pay that much now? No... But I'd certainly look very hard if it was going to be £3-4K with everything done

Of course, that's easy to say as I'm not looking any more

Cheers guys,
If some good ones come up then i will weigh up the odds and prices at the time, there are some real dodgy ones on the market at the moment with some for sale over a long period of time..... for good reason.

back in the day I paid ( if memory serves me right ) £3.5 k & the seller gave me £1.200 for a clapped out 146 pug, otherwise it was 4.7k. at the time I thought it was a bargain as the garage put 12mths mot on it. its first, they also serviced it & I was told to bring it back in a year or after 12,000 mls ( whichever came first ) for its next service.  I'm glad I discovered the oof

Technically most will quote the market value for the car, then you get the other 2 extremes, the clapped Omega that looks ok but is a worm hole of faults, lack of history, high number of previous owners, un cared for, which the seller will expect to get market value for and on the other side a low millage, low owner, full history, well care for, reluctant sale, where the buyer will also want to pay no more than normal market value.

There's normally 3 reasons why a Omega is in the 2k+ bracket, the seller hasn't got a clue what its worth, the seller is trying it on, or the seller has a genuine nice car for sale and is suited to a buyer who is after the same.
