just wondering how much i should sell my omega elite for? its a 1998 (s) reg 2.5 v6 done 126k got 11 months mot and 6 months tax full leather and all the usual elite equipment but not got the satnav! little rust but only got two good tyres rears could do with replacing. looking for 1250 is that to much? oh its champagne colour.
-
might be worth more to you to keep it given the sad depreciation, tragically its not uncommon to see facelift ones selling for barely a couple of hundred more than you're hoping for
-
Being pre 2001 it might appreciate a bit if and when the tax changes bite
-
I know someone who has recently sold an Elite same year as yours 12 months MOT, just had cambelt, water pump, cam cover gaskets, gearbox oil and filter change and its in excellent condition for £800 :(
-
there is a 51 plate GLS 2.2 manual with 60K fsh, mot till dec 08 at my local auctions at the moment.
It has now passed through 4 times without a bid, it's reserve is £1500 and I have been told that anything over £1k takes it home.
Means my 1999 CDX is worth peanuts up here :(
Be lucky to get 600 for it :(
-
cars got to go im affraid carnt keep it as insurance next year is stupidly high can insure a escort rs turbo with mods cheaper than my omega! 1300 next year on the omega and what with fuel prices!
-

sounds more like you need to shop around for insurance, not a different car!
-

-

-

-
open to offers on car i can either say no or yes! worth a try?
-
£200? ;D ;D
I'm also 24, my insurance is £60 a month on a 4 litre Disco - pretty reasonable. That's with directline.
-
im affraid thats a no to 200 quid can weigh it in as scrap for that!!!

I was teasing ;)
There is a beauty facelift estate near me going for £1500, I wish the landy had already gone - I'd go buy it!!
-
want 1000 for mine and its gone to whoever turns up first with the money.

I think you'll struggle to get anything like 1k for the car given the soaring cost of fuel and the Omega's relatively high running costs. Unfortunately with a nasty recession on the horizon the buying public and motor trade need these big old beasts like they need a dose of Gonorrhea. You'll probably get a better price by breaking it for spares. Any prospective buying will want £200 off for a pair of decent tyres and if the dreaded tinworm of doom has taken hold on the rear wheelarches it would cost more to put right then the cars worth.
If the cars a half decent runner you may be better off keeping hold of it. I speak as the happy owner of a 98 3 litre Elite manual, fault free with 70k on the clock (and Carin still works).
Its a great old car but realistically worth very little these days on the present car market. ;D ;D ;D
-
to be fair rust on my arch's is only little and nothing major like a say its had cambelt done and crank sensors and i replaced 2 tyres with yoko a539's! and runs like a dream cost of fuel is not a problem looking at buying a golf vr6 mk3 so fuel cost not a problem begrudge paying stupid money on car insurance that is in respect a slow car.!!!!
-
Manual or auto?
varche
-
Good luck with the sale :)
Sadly, I think you'll do well to achieve your Buy It Now figure, unless its an estate.
-

Why not try offering it as a swap and name the sort of cars you are looking for.
