A rusty old vauxhall with most parts no longer stocked  or available and with terrible fuel economy 
Who in there right mind w.....
Oh wait

[Varche]

You could get 2 or 300 omegas for that.

Indeed
or one and pay the yearly fuel bill 
mines dropped another half MPG average
maybe I need to forego health and safety and wear gym pumps instead of steel toe caps ,which are obviously too heavy

Yes, my 2.0 astra has dropped from 47 to 45mpg. Winter, perhaps?

He has used the 'think of a large number and then treble it'  method of deciding a price. Pure speculation.

I would love one......for £30-35000.

could be due to winter, though my omega warms up pretty quick and the weather has been surprisingly mild so far
though I suspect it's more likely i've been pushing the money pedal a bit hard of late and pressed the S (stupid button ?  ) a few times

Are there 300 left to buy?

mines dropped another half MPG average

Mrs TB's 3.2's MPG has nearly doubled from about 22mpg to 39mpg, on gas.

Mainly because its taking about 20 miles to turn on to gas .  Don't fancy paying her petrol bill

[Rangie]

£120,000 a bit too much for me I'm afraid , a Villa in Spain yes an old car definitely no.

I'm down to close to 23
I don't have to worry about depreciation though being an Omega

 Don't buy a Saab then, I just about manage 26,, the 3.2 was 24-25,,  and more fun.

Just checked mine and average mpg is 23.8 over the past 2700 miles...I tend to not think about the fuel costs as its tax deductible ,if not wouldn't be driving an Omega 3.2

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Anyhoo, back to the Carlton. Very low miles should mean its worth a lot of dosh, although I seriously doubt its anything like what is being asked for it.
It depends how its been stored though. If it has been dry stored and pampered, fair enough. But if it just hasn't been used much, and stood around doing nothing and ignored the rest of the time, then it might be the plastic bodywork that's holding the car together.
Would need checking carefully before parting with a big wad of readies imo.
