Newbie Welcome Area / Re: Hello from me & I'm in need of advice

« on: 25 January 2011, 22:37:36 »

Hi all, thanks for all the welcomes and the advice   I was a bit dubious on the asking price having seen a fair few around that were a lot cheaper.

Having no knowledge on certain cars tends to leave you open for people, especially family I find, to try and get one over on you, now I can go a little better armed into the negotiations

Will see what happens when I chat to him next.

Thanks again.

Thanks JimBob, you are right, its not so easy to advise without seeing the car or knowing the price.  I have no pics at present but I'll work on getting some.

Its an X plate model, 133k miles and he is asking £2k

There are limited toys but I'm not worried about them so much, its got uprated brakes, suspension, HID lights, LSD, Carbon door panels etc.  There is working climate control but no leather.

Newbie Welcome Area / Hello from me & I'm in need of advice

Hi All!

I'm not an Omega owner (as yet) I'm a very happy Saab 9000 driver, however.....

I have been given first refusal on an absolute Minter of an MV6, its an ex Met Police model, 3.2 Manual, White (of course) and its been fettled somewhat, last dyno run gave 297 to the rear wheels. 

I just know so little about them, I do know that it sounds sweet and goes like absolute stink but as much as that's nice, what would I need to be looking out for in the way of niggles & know issues?  Any pointers?  Sorry its a bit vague but I'll be getting a lot more information as soon as I can as well as some pictures.

The Owner is family, (well, getting there) a detailer for the last 15 years and every ounce of his skill has gone into looking after this car since he's owned it, it has full history since it left the mets ownership, the transport agency are being *difficult* at best with supplying the history of the car while they were resposible for it but looking at the overall condition and at how well this car performs there is no doubt it was very well looked after.

Thanks in advance peeps

I'm pretty sold in truth but I need to at least look like I'm giving it some thought
