I just called this guy and he is prepared to take £800 for this. What do you guys think? A bit far for me to go to find out, but if anyone close maybe worth popping over and letting me know

Dec 2009 at 13:01 Tunnie and Elite Pete are right on the money, I'd say it's a fair price from a trader prepared to offer a warranty. I'd look into the warranty though. However, I'm not sure I'd want to buy even to sell on anything with 140,000 miles. It warrants a bit of poking around, if everything checks out than I'd say go for it.

onhisown Ex Member	Re: Is this a bargain, MAYBE NOT Reply #4 - 24. Dec 2009 at 13:42 I would rather wait to see some detailed pis of the black one you have. I sorta trust sellers in here, and I am looking for a really nice one, just a shame I only have sow's ear money to pay for it. Widow's Pension see, and only 45. But I will get one, I promise myself that. Diane

The black one is also a 3.2, so that may put you in the same position as the red one, not too happy with how much it'd cost to run. Alternatively, if you give me your budget and requirements I'll see if I can find the perfect one for you. If you want, you can PM me with a few details of engine size, transmisson, colour etc and budget for an Omega and I will see if I can find one that fits the bill for you Thumbs Up!

That cars been sold twice before, for more than he is asking now. Got to ask yourself Why?
Also recent feedback is pretty poor. Again Why?
I know what I'd be doing Lips Sealed

and it wouldn't be going to have a look.

Dec 2009 at 17:05 As I said in another thread ... you are more likely to get a "good buy" .. as in value for money and reliability either from those selling on this site or through autotrader. Fleabay has it good points ( just a few) but car sales is NOT one of them ..
