Paid £1300 for my immaculate 73,000mile...... 53 plate MV6 about fourteen months ago. Not sure what it would fetch now.£.......?

I was after that motor at the time Opti but funds couldn't strech with the Mrs still being a student

However bought my current omega for 1500 with 55000 on it two and a half years ago, done just shy of 135000 now, so forgetting servicing costs (have them with any car) it owes me nothing so not really bothered what its worth maybe a few hundred quid.  Certainly one of the most cost effective motors ive ever had

Yes, they are excellent value for money. Mine came from a former OOF member. It had the cam cover gaskets changed by Elite Pete just before purchase and was in immmaculate condition.

It was originally for sale at £2495.....then £2295......£1995.....£1700.......£1650. After negotiation we eventually agreed on £1300.  . It still drives like a new car.

Its good to see so many feel as I do....lets face it, most of us have got cars that were about £30,000 when new, and we have paid a pittance for them. Speaking for mine....I have everything the original had, it all still works, only difference is the milage, and mine had the equivalent of what they call 4 years average mileage at ten years old.

Thing is....how much would you be prepared to pay for repairs if something really nasty went wrong?  When would you say 'No more...I am going to get a new car'
Have to admit...unless it starts to go silly with rust underneath, mine stays

The only problem I've experienced with my MV6 was a "donald" oil cooler. This was sorted out, along with fresh oil and filter, by Marks DTM....who charged me well under half what VX wanted. After repeatedly flushing the cooling system I refilled with a 50/50 antifreeze mix. . Not missed a beat since then.

Mine had to go as the Mrs said it stinks ! Well i was using it during the week for work and then 'cleaning' it up for our weekends away and it did smell a bit if i'd got the boot full of paint and plaster.But it was still one of my most favourite cars and one of the few i've been able to stretch my legs out in.Absolute rubbish road handling and frequently stuck in the mud or the snow so its been replaced by a nice low mileage 4x4 Nissan Xtrail.I would have been very tempted to keep it (and still may do) but i really can't afford two lots of bills.

As good as a 5 series,  I believe.
