Madness down the block!!! (auction)
11. Aug 2006 at 01:22

well, i was at ym local motor auction tonight (thurs).

absolute madness!!!

now im no expert on Omega pricing, but i think ithis was rediculous.

T Omega Elite 2.5 V6 saloon
136k miles
no tax
cant remember MOT, but dont think it was that long
drivers side rear quarter window not fitted, just on rear seat
Bose stereo
c/c
leaking cam cover gasket
needs passenger seat replacing
NOT leather
needs 2 rear arches

now for me, i wouldnt pay much for this car, but £580 imo is a joke!!!! im going to put my 3.0 N Reg elite with full test and 6 months tax and 106k miles, leather, no leaks, new water pump and timing belt kit there. reckon i should pull decent money!!!

go on, someone tell me im being silly and £580 is a good price.. you'll never convince me though!! the car was dog rough!!!

Aug 2006 at 01:37 why buy a shed at what can be conceived as over priced to spend time and money on doing up, when you can buy a car in far better condition for not much more than £1k!! my car might be an N reg 3.0, but i'd sooner have my car than the 2.5 at the auction and have to worry about having 2 full arches replaced.

Aug 2006 at 09:12 exactly Dave, at £280-£300 it MIGHT of been worth it, but having arches done properly isnt a cheap job.. my mate nearly told him about mine for sale LOL didnt have the heart to tell him..

Aug 2006 at 15:58 Elite will have blind, and the mid would be half size if it had the ccrt700 radio (it uses a half height GID)
