If there is a shilling to be turned, most will give it a try.  Omega is one of those cars that are perhaps approaching the best time to buy so sellers try even harder to get their pound (or two) of flesh....

Keep looking.  Bargains are outhere (somewhere.....)   :y

They must see my walking stick an think my brains goosed and not my body  lol

My ebay purchase in September to replace our older one, not quite as described but took time to show. Lovely condition inc under the bonnet etc. Even my local garage said how clean and tidy it is. Mechanical / Electrical problems soon showed and it is still parked on the drive. Though I have not looked at it since well before Christmas.

The sellers car is allways the best one & never the worst.
Keep looking pal, because there's always a beauty to be had  :y

Don't give up. I gave £950 for mine 18 months ago & got 6months tax from a small dealer. All i spent was cam kit & servicing. No other probs.
   Keep at it, you 'll find the right one. Be patient & choosey, it pays off in the end. Best of luck. :y
