...it's getting realy difficult to find anything with an MOT that actually works for less than a bag lately 

[Viral_Jim]

Yup. I think used motors generally have gone up. Or rather you get less for your money.

TBH I suspect it's the times we live in. People treat most things as disposable so there's little incentive to take care of anything. Also, 4-5yrs of belt tightening austerity means little scope for preventative maintenance at the bottom end of the motor market.

Unless you want an Omega

Hi Doctor!

Except continental situation. Useable Omega B are straight following the Senator B prices.

Twenty years ago it was easy to buy a usable MOTd car for £100 that day. That was not caring what you ended up with: mk2/3 Cavaliers, Sierras, Granadas, whatever. Now you need more like £500 for it to be easy.  Throwaway snotters are fun

With only 33k miles & rot in the inner wing, I`d  offer him a monkey for it 

Mot runs out in March

A 'bag' is what you put unwanted kittens in before dropping them in the..............

Yeah..yeah....bad taste but I don't care.

Proof the world is ending...  A not particularly tidy omega ends for £800 in the middle of the day... (with only the usual amount of ebay shill bidding).

[Zirfeld]

With TUEV (German MOT) you have to pay here minimum 2000 € for that...

Rare perfect Omegas - one owner, low milage, full service, perfect condition - are are starting at 5000 €

3 1/2 years ago I bought an PFL for 300 €. One year MOT, not pretty but usable. These times are over. For that amount you will get a doner car without papers today.

I restored the old lady last year. She got new MOT last June. Actually she is sleeping for the winter. My Caravan is doing the winter job.
