How much do you guys think this is worth?
« on: 07 November 2020, 12:54:14 »
Hi everyone,

I have had my 1996 3.0l V6 Elite Omega with nearly 160K for only a few months but she has caused me nothing but heartache and burning of my wallet. To be honest I'm a little fed up and out of pocket...so...

It has an issue with the heaters not blowing hot, but the coolant is good and flowing as far as I can tell ..

The car is misfiring even though I have just had a new coil pack, spark plugs and HT leads fitted...

I don't have the time or inclination to keep going with it, so I'm getting tired and was wondering what you guys thought it maybe worth and would someone buy it to repair like this?

I wouldn't want to scrap her...

In all honesty, its probably worth what your local scrappy will pay you for it.

Got to agree won't be worth much at all.

Heater fix is easy enough. There's even a guide.

A well sorted Omega is reasonably cheap to run, but a neglected one will bite you every time.

With a short MOT it's worth about 10p/kilo.

If it's a manual, you might get more for it.

Ask yourself, how much would you pay for a 20+ year old V6 petrol with a number of issues your CBA to resolve.  If you're honest with yourself, it would be less than scrap value.  Unless the body and chassis is genuinely mint.

I sold mine to a member on here 5 years ago & it was totally immaculate with no issues whatsoever 2001 2.6 manual CDX for £700 which is peanuts, so as for one with issues it would be scrap value, a damn shame because they were fabulous cars in my opinion.

Ive been pondering whether or not to sell mine. I have come to a firm decision. Im definitely putting it up for sale, but Im not going to accept less than £1000 for it.
So I will probably be keeping it for a while.  :)

No, I meant the Omega. Even if someone gave me a grand for it I would be over £1500 down on what Ive spent on it, and that doesnt include the purchase price.  ::) ;D
Sometimes I really fancy a change. Other times I want to keep it forever. We shall see.  :)

Keep it forever, you don't need a grand that desperately, and you'll regret it.

I doubt anyone will pay a grand for an 190k mile Omega anyway, so its all hypothetical.  ;)

Ive never had a two seater or a convertible and Im getting old. If I dont get one soon I never will.
Keeping the Omega as well is an option but I would have three cars, and the Omega would never get used.
 I have said every year for the last three years that I will sell it next summer.
I said the same a few weeks ago, and may well say similar this time next year.  ;D

Owning three cars is not unfeasible, as long as you sorn one of them so you're not paying three lots of tax and insurance.
