Title: £6995 for a 2003 3.2
Post by: joshwyatt on 29 July 2009, 14:56:33
Just saw this on Autotrader. From DK car sales, they used to specialise in Omega's. But haven't had many for ages. I'll admit it's fully loaded with colour screen and very low mileage. But still think price is a bit steep. I do like it a lot though :) Always annoyed me though that retail 3.2's only came as Auto's

I don't think £6k is bad for a 6 year old car that was over £30 000 to buy new. If it had a 3 pointed star or blue & white (stylised) propellor on the front, you be able to get £6k all day every day.

I prefer the earlier facelift Elite alloys so won't be buying this car though!  ::)  ::)  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Its worth what someone will pay for it, and personally I bet he does sell it - probably not for that amount, but not far short.

If you have the money and want as new as posssible why not?

Look how much other makes are going for - Omegas are not exactly increasing in number

I agree, if you have the money and thats what you want, go for it. I know friends that have lost double that on nearly new cars in a year. Even if you kept it for four years and then sold it for £1,000 thats still only £1500 depeciation a year, not to bad if you ask me ;)

As much as I love my Vectra, its done £4,000 in two years :'( case in point..

We got our first miggy (the Blue one) from DK ... and I must say he service and after sales follow up was excellent. The present one came from Roger Budden, and his after sales was also excellent.

I don't make a habit of buying cars just because they are expensive .. but because the cars are good and the service is as good.

If you have the ability and the wish to buy that car ... then keep it for 10 years .. you have actually got a cheap motor, and one to be proud of.

You get what you pay for ...  :)

Exactly.  But if I were buying that at the price he wants, then would he give me the ammount I want if I were to take a part exchange in.  ::)

I paid less than half of that for my 3.2 Elite two months ago and it had only 15k miles with full annual dealer service history. Then again, he will probably find a buyer willing to pay the cash for what is still a nice looking car. Still think it's way too expensive though.
