Very tempted....
« on: 27 August 2008, 08:51:02 »
Seen this, not sure if I should go for it.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-Vauxhall-Omega-Elite-V6-Auto-Leather-FSH-T-T_W0QQitemZ190245790932QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item190245790932&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Only needs an oil cooler and a bloody good service and clean.....anybody else looking at it?

Could probably do the oil cooler down there (about 3 hour job) and drive it back.

Cheap enough isn't it!

Looking at the state of the boot, drivers seat etc I wouldn't go with the 'maintained at all costs line though'! Probably just me but if they couldn't clean the inside they won't have excelled on anything else.

You know you want to....   ....but no messy jobs on your driveway ;D

Tempted myself, but not in a position to buy as no room until tractor goes.

If you do go for it and want a hand fixing/towing, pick me up on way through - she's at a craft thing all weekend, so I'm at a loose end.

Does it have a heat reflective screen? looks like it's got a purple tinge to it.

nice, but if you get an elite, wouldnt you rather get one with a cid?

get it home, you would need to do an auto-man conversion, lpg it with a wheel well tank and away you go ;)

Looks tempting, cambelt due but i guess you'll swap that over while waiting for the kettle to boil!! NEEDS a thorough valet, did'nt late Elites have built in colour satnav?
     Go for it! 8-)

CCR2006/MID was std equipment, Satnav was always an option (though the last ones on any model often have many options fitted as std)

3.2's had the nav with mono screen, 2.6's didn't. CID was always a cost option
