About a mile down the road from my house theres an Omega 3.0 V6 parked up in a layby for sale.
Stopped to have a look at it yesterday just to see what its like and price.
Its an S reg MV6 in silver, 17" 5 spoke Irmscher wheels with anthracite centres, full leather that didn't seem to have any rips, climate control etc. etc. 152k on the clock. £800 
Alot of car for the money. Not that I would want it anyway 
How much are the V6 engines worth?

you'd make the money back and some from selling the wheels and leather, then selling the car as a normal pikey spec mv6

It would be a crime buying it then braking it for parts

Never done anything like that before. I think its too good to strip. I wouldn't be able to take the engine out, not a clue on how to do that 
It scares me thinking I could lose money on it
