Title: 2 Omega's seem interesting

Needs alloys and cambelt ASAP but seems cheap at the moment told him in a message that he needs to reflect these in his price.

This quite nice but has rust which needs sorting.

Both looking good at the moment though  :y

The estate has been on ebay twice before I think but looks good. I remember in one of the seller questions someone asked about the wheels...his response was something like yeah it's meant to have 17" alloys, but this one doesn't. Made me laugh. And the 2nd one looks good, high miles...and rust on a 52 plate car? Doesn't show that it's been looked after all that well in my opinion. But both should hopefully be reasonably priced.

First one dodgy. Been trading on the bay for a few years, keeps changing his user name and item location, but every car that he`s sold needs to be collected from Reading :P

Been looking at the red one myself... Something about it doesn't ring true (other than the lack of Alloys!)

Wouldn't want to pay much more than £900-£1k by the time you do the belt and get wheels/tyres for it :-/ :-/

That dead right, he puts fake bids on to up the winning price, he even has feedback already for this car.. WTF... Total blagger.

Wouldn't pay no more than 700 quid for it to be honest.
I quite like the silver one though he said he's open to sensible offers I wonder what he'd say if I said would you take a grand ?

Well you don't get what you don't ask for so a grand has been offered  :)

Sure they have had quite a few differring persona....

Sterling Cars, Prestige Cars are but two I recall.

I like how you can pay an additional £190 odd for a full MOT but the exhaust is 'obviously' extra.  Does it need one then??  Doesn't say so, or did I miss it?   :-/

I thought this one looked OK http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-VAUXHALL-OMEGA-CDX-V6-AUTO-NEEDS-MISFIRE-REPAIR_W0QQitemZ190320152980QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item2c4ff71194&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A7%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
Sorting a misfire should be easyish and he's offering ramps for an inspection, must be reasonably confident in its condition.

To late, got a 52reg 2.2 Sport coming with a misfire should be easily sorted  :y
