Hi all.
Its sadly time to say goodbye to my Omega, ive got another job that involves a commute 140 miles per day and its just not practical to keep my Mig when doing that kind of mileage. Also, my other half refuses to drive an auto, dont ask me why, so its a real pain when we are out on a long trip and i need a break!
So, on to the details!
Its a 2000 3.0 Elite, will all the usual toys (except sat nav), everything works inside except the rear blind and the drivers heated seat, both common issues and ive never been that worried about it to be honest. Also, the glove box handle has come off, i have the broken one which you can use it open it, i believe its a very cheap part to place though.
Front & Rear electric windows
Full leather interior
Power driver and passenger seats, memory on drivers
Electric sunroof
Remote central locking
Bose Audio system with 4 disc CD changer
Climate control for driver and passenger (ice cold!)
Multi function display (no missing pixels)
Heated front and rear seats (drivers not working)
Self leveling rear suspension (in good working order)
4 x nearly new Avon ZV5 235/45 17 tyres, 5-6mm tread left, alloys in reasonable condition, no major marks on them.
It has 96k on the clock and has done 18k in the last year without missing a beat. The MOT is about due and to be honest i dont really want to spend any money on it, i have another car now and really need the space. I had my local mechanic give it the once over and he said the front wishbones will need to be replaced but he didnt see anything else as an issue. Of course, you are welcome to come inspect it and make your own mind up, ive nothing to hide. It runs and drives very nice, the only other thing im aware of is the rocker gaskets are weeping - the breathers are all ok and the car has been well serviced, see below - but they will need to be done sooner rather than later.
Bodywork is very tidy for its year, there are some scratches and dings but nothing major, it does have some rust starting on the rear arches, shocker eh!, but would be easily fixable.
Interior is in lovely condition with no marks, rips or tears on the leather, carpets are excellent and overall its very nice indeed! At some point someone has pulled the front off the CD changer but it works fine, changes discs etc, sounds excellent!
I have almost the complete history of the car, which will be detailed below :
I have all the MOTs from 2005 to now, the current one runs out on July 20th 2010. Tax is out at the end of July 2010.
Full Vauxhall service history to July 2005, where there was 47k on the clock.
7/05 Full service + 2 tyres £300
8/05 Wheel alignment £34.98
12/05 Plugs & Coil pack £175
03/06 Replace front pads £58
06/06 Trace fault under drivers seat £101.05
06/06 Trace fault with wipers £24.68
03/07 Replace PAS pump £275
07/07 Oil and Filter change £32.75
06/07 Front discs and pads £149.68
06/07 MOT (66396 miles) £50.35
08/07 Replace Aux belt and tensioner £168.03
06/08 MOT (74124 miles) £50.35
03/08 Replace rear pads, front wishbones £346.94
03/08 4 x tyres £317.71
03/08 Oil and filter change £29.99
02/09 Replace plugs/leads/coil pack £317.63
I then took ownership in July 2009, where i did the following :
JamesV6CDX came out and did a full service, including oil and filter, plugs, air filter, cabin filter, fuel filter and checked breathers. He replaced the auto trans fluid and cleaned the filter. Coolant was replaced. He replaced the cam belt and tensioners and also did the water pump at the same time. The mileage was just under 80k and that service cost me £500, im sure James will support my comments that its a nice car
Full geometry and alignment done, print out to show, £69.50, i also put 4 x Goodyear Eagle F1s on the car, they are of course replaced now with the Avons.
I had an oil and filter change done in Feb which cost £45.
So there you have it! I know i could get 12 months MOT on it and do the wishbones etc, but i just done have the inclination or the time. Im selling at a very reasonable price, if i get no interest here i'll just put it on ebay with a 99p start and no reserve, im open to any inspection of the car, it is what it is and i think for what im asking you wont be disappointed!
Please PM me if you have any questions, the car is in Frome, North Somerset if you want to come take a look, its not being driven at the moment and im usually around in the evenings or weekends, would like to shift it this week if i can though
I have 2 keys, owners book and the car pass.
£850 a pretty firm price, depends if you come wave cash in front of me =)
