How much should I be looking at spending??

For a 3.2 Elite Saloon??

Debating just upgrading and getting a facelift instead of piling money into the current Elite...

I know I know!

Plans for the current Elite was to do a 3.2 conversion, tidy it all up & other bits (new wishbones, suspension, wheels, blah blah)

But, I'm tempted to get a facelift 3.2 Elite, split or sell the current Omega to get some funds up to do a few things to the new one...

Just don't know...  Hence why wondering what I should be looking at spending for a 3.2 Elite, given there are some bargains out there at times, is it worth waiting about for one??

I paid £1950 for my 81k mile 02 plate 2.6 elite with Bose, MID (no satnav, dammit), about two months ago. Based on posts on here since, that was on the high side.

Smartarse!  ;D

I procrastinated on a black 140k miler 3.2 elite which had colour satnav which went for £1400... I needed my car quick so I ended up paying for it.

And to add the £200 odd in parts I've spent since - cambelt kit, water pump, aux belt, rocker cover gaskets - and the £200 odd to be spent on wishbones, steering idler, N/S bearing, front discs and pads, and I've spent more than I should, really.

At least when I buy the next one I know how much it's going to cost me to keep it on the road!
