Hi there guys I have an Omega 3.0l V6 Elite 5 - door saloon.

Time has come to sell her as i am looking for something better on fuel.

In 2002 I sold my 1996 N reg 3.0 Elite auto, 4 door (not 5 as you state) with 160k but on the clock, but with fdsh, for £3,000 cash.  Now I reckon, frankly, you would be lucky to get £500/600 for it in the present climate.

hey liz yeah 4 door shall i say then sorry lol but yeah errmm i was thinking around 800 but if thats not never going to sell for that much i am happy to get 600 for it that to someone who is going to love it as much as i did.

its sad to here such good cars loose their value so much over a coupple of years.

I know what you mean; that Elite I mentioned was purchased at £11,000 just THREE years before selling it (after much marketing!) for £3,000.

It is criminal, when selling, how these great cars lose their value, but great when buying one as I did recently!

Yes tmx, prices are going through the floor!
 

In fact so much that I am considering buying an 3.2 Elite in September at the lowest price!!  The opportunity is too good to miss!

tax though on 3.2!!!! will make them temptingly cheap is very true hmmmmmmm

i bought a rover vitesse 820 yesterday for £200 taxed for 9 months and mot'd till may 09 my answer to saving money by not driving the mig to work

Another great bargain there tmx!  At that price you could afford to walk away from it / sell it for scrap in May 09 if too expensive to keep going, otherwise run it into the ground until it stops!

As for the 3.2; yes the tax is a factor to consider, but if you can get one cheap enough, and they WILL exist, then the extra £2/300 per year will be worth paying for a good late example of an Elite.

Going on the raw money aspect of things (bangernomics)...9 months tax is about £150, and anything which drives is worth £15/month of MoT...they paid you to take the car!

the 820 was abit of a joke as the engine can handle stupid amount's of boost! the turbo will be getting turned up later  

needs new exhaust manifold gasket & the silencer needs sealing

Just make sure you have a stock of gearboxes - that was the reason the boost was limited to "only" produce 200 lb/ft of torque

cheers for the help guys
