I would have loved this car  No funds at the minute but the new owner must be really pleased  Treat it well and wrap it up at night 

[PAULCDX]

James,

Just wanted to say this car is " gorgeous ". I would have snapped her up if I had the money, 

Well done Kim on your new purchase. Enjoy your new car as I'm sure you will   

Paul

Begs the question,whats replacing it Twiggs

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Begs the question,whats replacing it Twiggs

+1  , Keeping the DTi though ?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Actually it's a she[/i] 

Her name is Kim (username Woodbine), and she has asked me to say that she will be the proud new owner.  She can't post in this thread as she doesn't have enough posts.  However, I know she is very much looking forward to taking delivery of the old girl, and I know she will cherish her just as I have.   

I can't comment on whether there will be any stroking going on though Opti... 

d,

A woman, huh. Luckily the Elite comes with parking sensors as standard.

Good luck, Kim. You've bought a 'goodun'...

Ok, so it's one of the very last retail Omegas, 1st registered in September 2003 on a 53 plate.  It's a 3.2 Auto in Elite spec, and is Tax'd and MOT'd until September 2013.  I'm the 3rd owner and the full V5 is in my name.  It has covered 108k miles.

The car came with a fully stamped up service history when I bought it, including a replacement cambelt kit at 81k in October 2009.  There is alot of paperwork with the car, including the leather manual wallet, car pass, receipts, old Mot certificates and old tax discs.

I am aware that the car will be due a cambelt change in October (on age, not mileage).  I have a brand new GM cambelt kit, aux belt and tensioner pulley reading to go on the car.  These are available via seperate negotiation.

Since I purchased the car, I have kept a record of all the work I have carried out, as detailed below...

As well as all the standard elite toys, the car has an NCDC2013 system with full colour CID screen.  I will also include a genuine GM Nav disc. 

It has a full set of genuine GM floor mats, original load guard and load cover, towbar with single electrics, moulded GM mad flaps and the 2 original remote keys.

The black leather interior (late spec leather) is immaculate, and all of the electric motors and heater pads are working perfectly.  The interior is very clean, nothing is broken or damaged.  The bodywork is excellent and the paintwork has a deep gloss shine having been professionally detailed.  There are however, some minor stone chips and very small parking dings.  The wheels are 100% perfect, having been totally refurbished to a very high standard.

I'm planning on removing the genuine Steinmetz stainless steel exhaust backbox from the car, and replacing it with a brand new, standard twin-exit backbox.  However I happy to discuss leaving the Steinmetz one on the car if required.

I am asking for £2750 for the car.  I'm pretty sure I've already addressed all of the common issues with Omegas now, so I expect it to give many miles of trouble free motoring for someone.  However, if I get offered the right money for the car, I will arrange for it to be MOT'd, so it will come with 13 months MOT.

I realise that I have advertised this car on here before, but I have now bought a replacement so it really does have to go this time.  This is not an auction, but I will consider sensible offers.

Please PM or email me with any questions...

Here are a couple of pictures, taken yesterday at the VBOA national weekend at Billing.

I'm being to think you're right there Albs.   

For those that are interested, I've bought a 2006 Vectra C 1.9 CDTi (150) X-Pack Elite Estate (in Z20R black, of course) to replace the Mig.  Once I've got it up to scratch, I'll post up some pics in the gallery.  It's got 1 or 2 little issues, but nothing that can't be sorted.   

Thing is, I've been clearing all my stuff out of my mig tonight, in readiness to deliver it to Kim on Saturday, and it made me realise what a bloody fantastic car she is!  Nearly brought a tear to my eye!   

[albitz]

I can see you changing your mind again.

I can't make any promises, but if there's one going, I'd be interested in the details, I have half an eye open for a TD estate, especially if preface..
