Firstly the car is well out of my price range,but I did buy a very nice  V reg 2.5 Elite Estate under 40000 mls from a Network Q dealer with a network q warranty on it and paid over the top last December but im happy with it it had been well looked after  as well as 2 cambelt changes at same main dealer.
The car advertised at what seems silly money to some oofers may well sell if someone comes along with money burning a hole in their pocket    

Fred the "shred" springs to mind - he'll have to blow his pension quickly before Gordon grabs it.

Roger Budden used to get top price for his cars due to the exceptional way he looked after his customers, i believe Entwood has had 1st hand experience and was very impressed.

That is more than top value for a facelift Elite estate, the biggest issue is petrol prices are back on the climb again but even with an LPG kit this still wouldn't make current asking price.

as a suggestion to admin would it be worth 'trimming' the tread a little so some of the less relevant posts are pruned?

Still way out of my league, but irrelevant of price, condition etc. the e-mail response I received was polite, honest...and at gone half ten on a sunday night.  

If it does go for the asking price, Lee is soooo gonna let us know  

Hi Turk, just thought i'd give an honest idea of the response the car has had, first few days we had a number of emails from people questioning the price and as mentioned earlier in this thread some abusive stuff too!!

However as the week went on we have had atleast 3/4 very serious enquiries and one person inparticular is very keen on the car and a holding desposit is on the way, so subject to completion of the sale it looks like the Elite is sold

It goes to show that late model Elite's are very hard to come across and clearly have a healthy demand, because the serious customers who rang us up commented that they had been looking for months and months without any joy!! They said they did not find the new Signum or Insignia appealing whatsoever and only wanted Omega's!!

As good news as it is for us, I don't think we'll come across an example like this for a VERY VERY long time

I paid substantially less than your asking price for a 2002 model 3.2 estate with full service history, one owner, 60 odd thou miles and loads of toys including colour satnav, reverse sensors, tow hitch, cream leather etc etc etc....

Hope you get the price you aspire to but, to be honest, if you do, you are very much the exception....

I would disagree enntirely! £8000 will get hmm a BMW E39 M5 And a good one at that a rough E46 M3 A very nice X5, a new shape S-Class Mercedes V8,and preety much any other executive car

As a trader you should have access to the BCA trader link an elite with 58k sold on there for £2k!

mileage means nothing!! i dont know why people are concerned about miles as it means nothing its service history that counts! and a FSH omega elite even a late one is not worth anymore than £2000 !

But we are not talking about what £8K will get him/her are we? Mileage means nothing? :-? Think most people will disagree with you on that!! As a trader I can tell you a high mileage car can NEVER compare to a low mileage car, ie we recently sold a 2001 Merc CL55 AMG with 71K, the car was very nice and well over a £100K new, now we have a 2000 Merc CL 500 with 31K and everything feels that much beter, ie suspension, door hinges, condition of leather, engine sound and gearchange etc, etc IMO mileage means everything, and that is something we always look for.

When you compare the build quality and specifications against the "supposed" leading manufacturers, they should all sell for a heck of a lot more than they do. If the Omega was made by one of the German manufacturers it would have easily sold with another £5k+ on the price.

I suspect the abusive stuff was probably triggered by the defence of the price and the fact that they thought you were a typical rip-off dealer.
You're obviously not that bad, you drive a Mig.
(Mind you, had you been a VX Main Stealer...oh dear !! )

Cars are worth what someone is prepared to pay, and for what you get compared to the "supposed" leaders in the executive car market, it's a bargain.

Let's just say the price was high...for what we here would pay.  

Don't be a stranger.    

[Vamps]

I really don't understand all this, surly any car is worth what someone will pay for it, end of. Regardless of what people may think or value. There is a Mk1 GT Cortina on ebay for £6995 is it worth it? to someone possibly, if you want one and you can not buy them new then you will pay the money if you can afford it, same for an Omega, can't get a new one. At then end of the day it is down to money and what you are prepared to pay for what you want. If I had the money, I would buy the Cortina

[tmx]

if i had the money it would be the M5 anyways the mileage is low! a local car tyrant was trying to sell a M Reg 405 with 39k on the clock for £2500!

but if someone really wants an omega and they have that kind of money then that omega is a very fine example!

[Kieran]

Looks like the car has been sold

[Dusty]

It is an exceptional Miggy.
If the cambelt is replaced ,and a 3 month warranty is supplied before the car is sold ,then I would suggest a value of about £3500-£3750.
We are in recession ,and all car prices are falling.

[Lee 7Star]

Looks like the car has been sold

Yes and I kid you not, I have someone on standby to buy the Elite at full asking price over the phone without even viewing the car if the current deal falls through, that has even shocked me!! It proves to me beyond doubt that exceptional Elite's are VERY sought after!!

Which goes to prove, that there's one born every minute.  :-?  :-?

[webby23]

I have seen Elites with similar mileage and similar condition and spec go for less than half what this geezer wants for this car.

if there are idiots out there who cant be bothered to check REAL prices and are happy to pay well over the odds (which this car is) then like already said, there is one born every minute.

I bet Lee wasnt saying how fabulous this car was when he was negotiating buying it........Wonder how much he paid for it?
