Title: 2004 Omega.... Just 45 miles from us
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 15 September 2013, 13:44:40
Hmmm, looks reasonable. I wonder what it will go for.

I never knew that .............  ::)  ::)  ::)

It has the 4 speed switchable Auto box with the snow button.  Starts you off in 3rd when conditions are right to prevent rear wheel spin in snow (temperature controlled I understand but never used it)

It does look a very nice car. Shame it's not a 3.2 Elite though  ::)
If you use the T reg estate as comparison  ::) it'll go for £thousands  :y  :y  :y

Looks familiar  ::) Is that your own car Mr Opti , £ 300 should buy it with a full tank of fuel thrown in  ;D

The same 53 plate and the same Z157 star silver, but it's not as tidy as mine.

I'm guessing £850-£1100. :y

Do you reckon it'll be leaking or the bearing gone by then  ::)  ::)

If it ain't broke ........... don't fix it (especially with a pattern pump instead of the original OE pump  ::))

It won't have had a water pump first service so just preventative.

does it belong to anyone on the forum?

Looks nice enough, I'd get rid of the crap grill.

Wrong gearbox for me, 2.6 manual would be a nice combo  :)

It was up for 1500.
It's last auction made 1450 but reserve was not met.
Needs big service plus he went 20k without an oil change!

Actually irrelevant given that most would do that to a car new to them,  if only for piece of mind :y

Every single car I have owned has been serviced as either part of the deal, or within a fortnight of purchase...
