I found that using cruise control at 65 - 70mph I was getting 45-50 miles per gallon according to the on board computer.

That's switched on the "bull5h1t" light for a start.  ;D

This i think

"There is paperwork to show cam belt & pulley kit was changed at 56,101 miles however we were told by previous owner that he had the cambelt changed when he purchased the car which was at 92k miles. Personally I don't see why he saw the need for this as the recommended interval is 80,000 miles on the MV6 engine (post 1997) it was 40k intervals on the earlier models. So as far as cambelt is concerned, its done."

Either he's totally ignorant of what the inst. cons. figure means, or he's hoping to sell to someone who can't think it through for themselves.
If you ignore his comments regarding the cam belt, (and the reg. plate), it's probably worth a look for someone in the market.

eBay mph
I've already asked him if he could show me how to get that kind of mpg out of a 3.0 Omega as I need 2 gallons to go as far. Also has he nearly perfected perpetual motion.
I'd had my fill of bull$hit before I got to the cam belt bit.
The car doesn't look too bad, but why do sellers feel the need to bull$hit in their blurb?

On the early Sat Nav cars the Sat Nav driver was on the rear tunnel where it got kicked to death by the kids. It was moved the the load bay roof shortly after ;)

And grille, well at least when compared to the S reg Elite picture in your signature.

Maybe it has had a front end shunt?

Yours...



That one...
