This is actually my car, but I didn't have enough posts to advertise it on here  ::)
If anyone's interested, PM me on here or call the number in the ad.

That's why it says "Item is no longer available". Perhaps if you didn't wait four days?  ::)

Clearly the vendor's definition of "immaculate" doesn't align with my own (or that found in the OED come to that ).

From a 10 second look; scuffed bumpers front and back, dent in one front wing, not seen a vacuum cleaner since it rolled off the line, worn interior. At least one scuffed alloy

No doubt it'll be listed again in a week "due to a time waster" ::)

If I click on the link above, it still comes up with this Omega, not a Vectra. I take it you are criticising the Vectra ad - nowhere can I see the word 'immaculate' or the dent on the wing, worn and unhoovered interior on this Omega ad. Apparently, the Omega is now sold, money has changed hands and it has been driven away.

The vectra has sold and the dealer is reusing the ad rather than paying for a new one... Dodgy opps wit.

^^ this.

I was indeed criticising the Vectra as. To be clear, I thought the omega looked prima facie to be a real credit to its previous owner(s) hence why I posted the link to it in the first place.

If I wanted to post links to poorly cared for sheds, I'm confident I could double my post count in no time. Unfortunately eBay seems intent on making appear that I did just that.  ::)

I am always surprised about the low Omega prices in UK. Here in Germany you have to pay double / triple for Omegas  in good condition. Sometimes i think about buying  a RHD Omega in UK. But how to manage to get into a parking house without a left seat passenger?
