Seen an Omega CDX for sale facelift on a "W" plate.

Needs what looks like front and rear bumpers respraying to make it look good again because they are scuffed or paint peeling off them.
Slight rust patch on the lower edge of boot lid needs doing.
Looks tidy inside apart from the after market stereo, not the usual CCR2006 that should be there. Cloth seats and original CDX alloys are there.
Now the bad bits, 125,000 miles no service history and no mention of a cambelt change, but it's got 12 months MOT and 5 months tax, says all running ok drives good it's an auto................

How much would you part with if anything given lack of service history?

That's the problem, in order to keep a car running well / legally it costs you money, money that is then rendered worthless when you sell the car or it gets written off.

Its scary to think of what Ive spent on my grey car getting it to concours condition, the price I paid for it and all the new genuine stuff that Ive changed, total rust removal paintwork,3 sets of wheels etc etc and its still worth the same as a bag of jelly beans. Thats Why I will never sell it. I can understand now why some old gits have mint mk1 granadas never use them but wont sell them.

Thing is, i'd always spend the money to get the car 'right' which means i'd then keep it for a long time. Also, I can't think of any other big RWD saloon that I prefer to have over the Omega.
