... on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-Vauxhall-Omega-3-0-Elite-4-Door-Saloon-Black_W0QQitemZ260569856189QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item3cab2c78bd I've seen a few W reg pre facelift but never one this 'new'
Still, if he think it's worth £2.5k maybe mine is worth more than I thought! ::) ::) ::)
where's its boot spoiler gone? :-? :-/
-
Since when did Main dealers start using Ebay. They really should know better than to advertise that at £2.5k :-/ :-/
-
Thought all Elites had the boot spoiler :-/ driver`s seat looks as though it`s seen more than 68k

needs checking out online againt old MOT details.

err that interior shot is from a pre 1998!
No steering wheel controls!
As mentioned above, no Elite grill, no spoiler, very fishy!
-
......
No steering wheel controls!
.......
You can see that from that angle? :-/ It has solid head restraints .....

i also spy TC button next to radio, should that not be on the main button row on mini-facelift? and leave a coin tray for lesser models, and Carin display on Elites?

tc button moved MY98.5, Only 3.0 had carin as std

And MY2000 is facelift.
Evans Halshaw, 'nuf said really

I was looking around there myself, but couldn't make out what was what. But you're right about TC and there's no sat-nav 'knob' by the hand brake.

Yup and Evans Halshaw say its a 3.0 in the ad
-
Although it does have HID's which were only found on elites unless added after
-
Not 17" alloys either
Only facelifts have 17" before that they were 16"
-
could it be an mv6 per chance. but saying that..no spoiler.
-

Sorry they advertise 17"
They are actually 16" and I think the 17's are a different sytle anyway.
-
Just rung them. Car was sold yesterday.
Spoke to a lad who actually went and got the log book and confirmed it was an Elite on there.
So it looks like it may have had some work done on it or some cheeky bugga has oiked some parts off it.

Its the old "If it sounds too good to be true...etc etc etc"

Same place is selling this which I think is the dogs doodahs

Had a look at that and was tempted to go and have a look.
But from past experience when I was involved in the car trade then I wouldnt touch a car that has probably lived at the coast, firking salt get every where. :-/
-
The Police had 3.0i Elites that had the ordinary grill & no rear spoiler so cud the 'sold' car have been an ex 'bluey'? :o
-
also says its a manual... im sure that interior pic shows auto
-
Ur right the pic does show an auto box & the write up must have been taken from a facelift spec!
Morale of the story is - don't buy a car from THEM unless u've money to burn .... £2500???? ur 'avin a larff!! ;D ;D ;D

well ur lucky! wen there was 10'' of snow on the raods which then turned to sheet ice Bolton council decided in their wisdom to give Kearsley a wide berth & let us play dodgems with other cars! strange that the insurance companies didn't see the funny side :D
-
The MOD had a number of Omegas on close protection work the spec was all over the place ie leather but no elec rear windows they were a cross between police spec and normal as well as what can only be described as cobbled together! Some were manual and some were auto they were reg late as were sat in an aircraft hangar for a while!

That's your problem ..... it should have a proper g/box ::)
-
Simon your 2003 would be a better buy at least you know its origins and that its had a hard life the poor buyer of the pre facelift will be distraught when they come to sell it, for info mod and government cars often had elite on logbook in same way ex plod have mv6 but the spec was often gls with leather seats!
-
I think wots happened is this -:
Man goes in wiv his so called 'Elite' & asks the salesman wot he can get against a newer car ''Wot u bin offered sir?''
''Well'' says him ''a very generous(!) £400''
''Tell u wot Mr Muggins, i'll give u £2000 for urs against that car over there in the corner that i've not bin able to sell for months!!''
''Well it looks very nice but there's no price on it''
''No probs Mr Muggins (it was £8000 but i'll stick £2000 on it) its £10,000 if i can get the sales manager to knock a couple of grand off - would u be interested?''
''Is the Pope Catholic?? Wow i want it! Where do i sign!!!!''
Mmmm one born every minute ;D ;D ;D
