Roger Budden is never cheap
-
His cars are ususally first rate - actually for an estate with that kit and the rarity of the 3.2 Elite estate I think it is a good price
-
Think he used to also do a deal where he updates the GID to a CID :y
-
Mr Budden's cars are very, very good .... and his after sales service is beyond reproach :y :y :y

got mine "major" serviced on monday..... came back with a note saying it now needs 2 new centre boxes, and the cam cover gasket is leaking.... so it's booked in again....
between this and that (new freezer believe it or not) also eating into my cash reserves... i may have to stick with it... or buy a roller skate to use on mundane running around (i gave that little green pug to my step brother when he left his company car equipped job... )
if i had it to spare... i wouldn't mind spending that much on one.... but it doesn't even have the colour screen system...
now to manage the £3k budget i had last week... i'd have to sell the existing one as well i reckon. Originally i had planned to keep it around while the new one proved itself.... then spruce it up for sale.... (all the important stuff is kept on top of, but noisy air con compressor could be replaced, and air con seals sorted.... and a load net added... )
i KNOW it would be a lot cheaper to do it myself.... but really.... it's too damn cold,

When I bought mine and got it sorted with a tow bar it was discovered that someone had previously changed the self-levellers for "normal" shocks ... his advert had included the standard phrase for an elite of "self levelling suspension".
I rang him expecting an argument that didn't happen ... he apologised and instantly made arrangements for me to have them changed to brand new self levellers at no cost to me at all.
Not many places would do that .. :)

He has one coming in.

Wonder what he would offer me on a 1999V 64K 2.5 GLS ::) againt the £6495 he wants for his. :-X
-
He'd offer a deal ... don't know if it would be what you wanted though !!
He took my 99 V 2.5 Elite in p-exchange for this one ... but that was 2 years ago ... :y :y
always worth a 'phone call to ask ... :)
-
for that money i'd buy a BMW 530d Touring
-
My mate has one. Uncomfortable, no legroom, hard ride, very few goodies.....otherwise perfect. ;D ;D ;D

.. not forgetting the really imaginative 1970's British Leyland black slab of plastic for the interior, and the fact that nobody will ever let you out of a side-road again. ;)

Pete (Miggy) paid a lot of money for an omega from this guy, when he tried to sell it on, he was going to have to take a whacking haircut. Think he ended up putting it into storage.
-
I paid a lot of money for one from him ... 2 years ago just before the prices plumetted .... but I have no regrets ... you get what you pay for and I got a lot of car, with a lot of toys, for the money that at that time I was willing to pay... ok its is worth an awful lot less than it was on the market .. but it is worth an awful lot more to me than it's monetary value.
No-one is forced to buy from him .. but I will say that all his cars are good ones.. You pays your money and you makes your choice ...
Expensive, well prepared, backed up car from RB ... or a cheap, unknown and risky "pop" on fleabay.
I chose my way .. some agree, some don't ... C'est La Vie as they say :)
-
Indeed. His cars are very good and they sell for the money he asks (he's very reluctant to budge on price, or mine might have come from him) so that speaks volumes to me.
After all, how long would you have to wait to find an 02 3.2 elite estate with 51k in the classifieds these days?
If you're prepared to wait, then fair enough. If I were in the market I might be tempted to decide that I don't buy a car every day, it's barely run in and will last another 100k+, so it's worth splashing out.

For me the best thing about Omega's is that they offer so much spec and a big lump of car for the money. I think the best ones are higher millege, older cars tbh, say sub £3k. As for £5600 think id be more tempted by something big and German.
Just my opinion ;)

The Omega was German designed, and built :y

Depends how long you plan to keep the car. I paid RB price as my plan was to LPG the car and keep it, hopefully, for at least 10 years.
Everyone buys for different reasons..... price is not the only consideration

I agree with you. If I wanted a good car that was reliable and for daily use, which I will be looking later in the year, I would be tempted to pay good money for a good car. Would not buy that one though, hate leather seats......... :D :D :D

Had the 03 been sub 50k on the miles I might have considered putting good money into it, but would deffo have to have the colour sat nav fitted.

I bought my 3.2 elite estate (51 plate) with CID screen and telematics from RB and have lost 5k in 3 years. Do I regret it; no, I bought it with 39K on it and have loved every minute of it taking it upto 79K.
I want to be able to take it alot further than this though, and only today with it covered in snow and looking like sh&te whilst taking the dog to the vet, a couple of young lads said that it looked a good motor and went like sh!t off a shovel when the S button was pressed on the auto.
You get what you pay for to a point, mine was 6 years old with 39 K on the clock, I do 15K (or thereabouts) a year at least so wanted a low mileage example. These cars beat alot of more executive / luxury cars with their spec and are relatively ecomonical to maintain parts wise. Love it.......oh yes. :D :D :D

Not too hot on the photography side of things, going on the images of the Mig.
