Rare bumper........not
« on: 18 April 2017, 15:29:58 »
Whilst browsing the bay of e I came across a standard f/l bumper with fogs listed for £350.00 and being the kind soul that I am messaged him to let him know he'd put the decimal point in the wrong place only to be told it was rare and the price was correct.Told the joker to dream on. :D

If it fixes someone's pride and joy, somebody will pay that.

Seriously doubt that.
If you 'did a Lizzie Zoom', £350 is a small price to pay to get the car back and looking in its preaccident condition.

Yes indeed, someone who is very keen to get their Omega back on the road looking as good as new may well just go for it, and forget the cost!

However, I got a bumper with all the fittings, bonnet, the two fans, fog lights and the washer bottle for £320 and that I thought was just right. ;)

No point trying to compete with that masterpiece...   :-X

I once paid £125 for a genuine new tailgate and quarter panel... ::)

For £300, I had my car collected, a brand new genuine slam panel fitted and painted and the car returned... and that was at a VX main dealer.

£320 for that list above is, well, above reasonable prices.

Wrong. 90% of an omega is not visible because of rust. ;D

Hi STEMO

Wrong. My welder is the fastest one all around! So my Omegas will stay visible...

I agree with the OP that it is expensive, and probably not that rare (although don't see many Omegas at scrappys now - we're hanging on to them).

The point I was trying to make is the old addage "its worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it". And if its in good condition, and the correct paintcode, somebody will think its an acceptable price.  Respraying a wrong colour or damaged one will be £200+

Much like paying, say, £2k for a good nick Elite - its a heck of a lot of car for the money, its just on OOF we've become accustomed to paying a pittance for them.  Same with parts - we've had a good supply of parts from the breakers we have on this site, at great prices.


If the seller is patient, and the right buyer comes along, he might achieve his price.

Yes my spare bumper can only increase in value.  Maybe I'll list it at £349.99 to undercut the other guy!  ;D
