"Omega, and a 2.2i CD from 2003 with 145,000 miles for £350"
but the picture is a 17th April 2002 3.2 v6 MV6 with circa 75k -80k miles
I doubt the current owner would part with that for £350  ;D

given that it's probably been bean tins for a while, I suspect the last owner would be delighted with another £350!

Most big engined expensive saloon cars can be bought for a fraction of the new price once they get to around 10 years old. Even Rollers and Bentleys.
Imo, this presents a great opportunity for genuine car lovers to buy a great car for little money.  8)

In percentage terms, that makes my Trolley seem expensive at its £350 purchase price... Was a paltry £16,500 new :o

Couldn't agree more bought my Merc almost 4 years ago with 30,000 miles & full MB history fully loaded £55,000 on the original bill of purchase has cost me only £8 in repairs in almost 4 years (rubber casing for phone serial) V8 soundtrack plenty of power for me & totally immaculate.
Major service before I purchased it so all I have had to do are oil changes.

Except if it's a Roller or Bendy theres a good chance the repair bills will bankrupt you..
