Going to view this on Saturday - 2.6 MV6
« on: 04 August 2011, 11:59:51 »

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201130405996652/sort/priceasc/usedcars/keywords/mv6/page/2/radius/1500/postcode/np109lu?logcode=p

Description seems to be good - any points to watch out for except rusty rear arches?


(.. yes that does mean my 2.6 CDX will be for sale!)

Looks nice, about right money too. Bit of haggling & get that for under 2k.

Personally, I would replace the cambelt no matter what the history or owner says. For small price, you have peace of mind & know exactly when its been done and when its due.

Cambelt has been done on age at 4 years and yes will need doing again now (probably one of the reasons for sale!). I suspect a service in about October including cambelt.

Not many Omegas are worth £2 grand, but that one looks like it is. :y

Only 2 things wrong with it as far as I can see... Caps missing from plenum (pinch them off your cdx), and it's not Black!!  :D (you do know that the black ones are faster, isn't that right Chris?)  ;)

Joking aside, it looks like a cracking car for the money, and your leather recaros will look the business in it!! Good luck!!  :y

I am not sure I will put the leathers in that one - they are good but that MV6 will show them up  (not that they are bad but probably have 100k on them) plus I can not get hold of a matching rear saloon seat set yet. I was ahppy to have the subtly mis-matching seats in the cdx but this will need to have everything mint - I was more concerned to get the sport seat than them being leather, plus me being a bit petite I slide about on the leather a bit  :-[

Could just be the picture but it looks like the airbox-intake jubilee clip is missing... Just make sure you have a good poke about ;)

I'd be tempted to whip the top off it and check the filter (says full Vx SH so check it's a Vx Filter) but you'll have to check he doesn't mind as it is screwed on the newer ones ;)

But it looks very tidy and worth the price any day :y :y
