Hi guys, not been here a while and my original username(Recovery russ) is for some reason inactive, anyway ive been offered this and i want some advice on its value.
A facelift T 99(i'm assuming 3.0) elite v6, auto saloon in mettalic black, 96k decent condition , no rust newish tyres etc cloth interior and no satnav but xenon lamps all heated seats work as does rear blind. exhaust gasket not blowing! and no oil in plug wells! :y No history, and mot is unknown at mo, but probably got a good bit left!
So whats your thoughts guys?

To start with that is a pre-facelift, and I quess around £900 in value if all is good ;) ;)
-
It's a 2.5, it's got a single tail pipe, I'd say around £700-£800 maximum.
-
I would want to know when it had its cambelt and tensioners changed last. (40k or 4 years whichever comes first.) Quite a pricey job at a garage though OOF does a DVD which helps DIY and quite a few folk on here do the job at a reduced price.
But Mini facelift Elite. Best Omega on the market! IMO
-
Sorry i meant to say pre facelift!(whatever face it is you can all see in the pics what i meant! lol) So it be a 2.5 then, ok so anywhere between £500 and £900 its worth then? :)
-
I would think its a mini facelift. My guess would be around £500.
-
Its cloth interior so more than likely a 2.5 and i'd go with £500 to £600 in the autotrader.
Just to add, the above price would be with a full MOT, I would say £150 with no MOT ;)
-
Dvla confirms its a 2.5
The vehicle details for T198 ATR are:
Date of Liability 01 10 2011
Date of First Registration 06 05 1999
Year of Manufacture 1999
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2498CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status SORN Not Due
Vehicle Colour BLACK
so yeah £500 no more than 650 if there is a decent mot.
;)

is it a manual or auto?

Its an auto.
so the valuations are dropping, :'( would it be worth more as parts?
-
tske the ferodo badge off the back and its value will increase by £50 ;D ;D ;D
-
imo without knowing history, and being an auto i wouldnt buy it unless really cheap :-? even for bits, and i second getting rid of that badge :o

Lots of condensation inside. I would have a look see if the carpets are wet.

I was going to mention myself that it is a Mini Facelift not a Facelift.
Lizzie it seems to me was just giving you a helping pointer so you know what you are actually buying, as you obviously didn't ;)

My old CDX on a R reg plate was valued at £650.00 by my insurance company after someone used it as external 4th break at a set of lights

Indeed Daz, and my optimistic valuation was based on it "all is good" and a 3.0, which all now seems to be in doubt!! ::) ::) ::) ::)
Now I reckon it is probably worth no more than, sorry, £500 based on what has been stated ;) ;)
To bring it into focus I paid £1,650 for my current 3.0 Facelift Elite Auto, at 111k miles, with leather and full service history, and one years MOT, when purchased a year ago from a dealer. I paid that due to a) I wanted it and it was worth it to me, along with b) it was the amount paid to me by my insurance company when my previous CDX was written off :D :D :D ;)

Ok thanks for the responses :y ive been offered it at around the guesstimated range by the knowledgeable responses here, only thing being i still dont know its mot status. Would it be worth more if i broke it for spares? whats the going rate for the main bits and pieces and more importantly whats the demand for parts?
-
Have a look in the for sale/wanted section. you will get price guide there. Also checkout ebay for Omega parts.

I wouldn't trust this website, they will give the lowest price possible to make a few hundred out of it.
