Makes me laugh posts like this. So what its £5k. Find me a 3.2 Elite with sub 40k miles for less  :y

Seriously better car than spending same money on an Insignia  ::)

Been on for a while now ::)

Bloke paid £3500 for it at auction, so you can't blame him from holding out for the asking price... and at that condition/mileage it is worth every penny :y

Nice car.

£2500 sounds nearer the mark.....for the marque. ::) ::) ;)

Good luck to Lee, a member here a while back, it has been on for a while though. More difficult in the current ecomomic and fuel tight market. Probably looking for an Enthusiast to gas it, and keep it in the manor it's accustomed. Tricky, but worth every penny IMO. Assuming its in the condition the mileage suggests. Going by the last car he had for similar money and miles it probably is. :)

If I was in the market, I might try to haggle a bit. If it was black of course, as blacks omegas ARE faster :)  ;D

When I first saw it a couple of weeks back.....the voices started in my head again (the shrink)said that they were gone for good but....... just for a moment when they said go on buy it, because it would be rude not to! I said why not? And then another voice said.....BUY IT and YOU DIE :o no prizes for guessing who's voice that was ::)

Thoroughly agree tunnie! :y :y :y

This seems like a great car and worth every penny, like mine was from Roger B.

Now do I want a second "last of the run" 3.2?  Very tempted to make an offer......................................................!! :D :D :D

Just looking at an old glass`s from 2008 when this car was about 5 years old. :)
  53Reg Elite - Price new £29810. Retail : £7275 (based on 47k miles) Trade : £5250.
This thing has just come thru the time tunnel & for £5k is tempting with that mileage. :y

Hmmm  :-\ Now the number of OOF members  ??? buy x number of raffle tickets @ say £75 each. How many tickets would I need to buy to rig win the prize.
Silly me :( we need a wealthy OOF`er to secure the car in the first place. He/she of course would have the pleasure of passing the keys to me to the lucky winner & be handsomely rewarded with a slap up dinner at the venue of their choosing. But who..... ???

I `ve heard speak of a certain Lady :-* who could quite easily find the folding for simple follies & whimsical girly type things that take her fancy. But this is far to vulgar for a Dame of the realm.

Then there is of course the good Doctor Opti (MBE, OBE, KC & the sunshine band) £5k that`s just back pocket trouser money for this bloke ;D ;D ;D ;D .
