Take a look!
It was up at 895, he stuck the price up to 1295 as he's had over 50 calls. Still works out cheap to me.
If I was closer to barry, it would be on my drive now.

don't belive that millage for second

According to the VOSA site the mileage is right, so if it's been toyied with, it's been done every year. Apparently it was a little old dear who owned it.

I am told thats not an MV6 interior. :-/

Might be worth a punt then! Where is it,?says 100 miles from my postcode.

Its an Elite, they just accidently clicked MV6 on the list i think, standard speedo but Elite alloys/leather

how did she see over the steering wheel lol ;D ;D
-
In Barry mate, Wales. Tidy.
-
just rang, they have some people comming to see it in an hour or so, and they were comming from London. If they have any sense they will buy it, if they don't something must be wrong with it ;D
-
I went to see one at £2500 with an apparent 43k miles on near Bewdley, apparently the father-in-laws car who had apparently died.
Strange how the brake pedal rubber was bald, the leather steering wheel worn through, the interior door handles sanded down, the gearknob shiny as a cue ball and the books were all lost when he died.....apparently
They sold it for £2000 though...
I saw that ad but was cynical about the MV6/Elite mix up-but could be a real deal if kosher.
When buying a car, the seller is as important as the car.....I should know after buying 87!! :P

lol i thought i was doing well being on my 43rd car in 16 years of driving
-
Its an illness...
Thing is though, if you buy well off the right person, sort the car 100%, get the VOSA MOT check done to add to FSH, present it well and advertise it right, it IS possible to do 30,000 per year FREE
Generally I buy something, run it for a few months then sell it for £400-700 profit-this pays for fuel and insurance ;D ;D
I think the Omega may be a keeper though :y
-
Saying that though-it is a faff collecting the car and going through it with my obsessional tendencies....
My poor wife has driven 23 cars since passing her test 2 years ago :P
-
going to be keeping mine for while me thinks as it is such a comfy luxury car and i like my comfort and luxury
-
I do like my bizarre cars though-best ones to make money on.
Our other one at present is a Perodua Kelisa (prod your wha?) which I flew to Scotland to collect and drive home-bargain even including the flight. Doing the sales ad now-had it three months...!! Lovely little thing ::)
-
Yeah seen them James May seemed to like them very much indeed
-
He's the only one with an ounce of sense
It drives like it is the missing Mini between old and new. Daihatsu tech, 100% reliable, quiet, 55++mpg and wonderfully responsive and full of feel.
I will miss it, but we need some cash out.
Will prob buy an old fartknocker for now; have robbed the bank for the Omega!! :D
-
lol something small and nimble again then
-
Daft thing is that the little cheap stuff is more expensive than quality stuff-people are obsessed by tax band and mpg.
My 2004 04 Kelisa is absolutely mint in special order Purple Mica with FSH and 15k miles-only cost £5500 new, but will still fetch £2350-odd now, 5 years on. Not much depreciation then...
Omega 20+k new......
-
very valid point, so another omega then perhaps
-
Yeah-nice and safe and my wife only does 5k miles pa.
Would like a mintish, miley simple as poss facelift car for about £500....if we get the Kelisa gone.
Comments about the Omega after driving the Kelisa:
It needs a foghorn not foglights, a mooring not a parking space and someone elses fuel card!!!
They say you know you're getting overweight when your clothes get tight. My CAR was getting tight.... ;D
-
lol there is somebody on here selling theres, was going to trade it in but was only offered £200 got t&t on it and apperently its tidy

I've been driving for 30 years & in all that time was without a car for a couple of months when I wrote one off about 25 yrs ago. But I've had a .....

I currently own both a crappy Astra diesel &
my Omega.
That makes it that I'm on car 7 & 8
Back on topic ....... on my current milage on my Omega, I would have only put a similar milage on it had it been mine for all that time. ;) ;) ;) Not all Omegas spend all their lives on a motorway clocking up intergalactic milage - just most. ;) ;) :y

I had a Mk2 Carlton. 1985/B 1.8GL in an interesting burnt orange colour. 130,000 miles and it was spotless. Most comfortable car I have ever had, the seats were like armchairs.
Sold it to a taxi driver who took it up to 300,000 miles with no real problems. Great cars!!!!!!!
