The time has come to let my Omega go.
She's a 1998 2.5 CDX.

Showing 95000 miles.
The engine was replaced in March with a Swindon racing engine which has had a top end rebuild.
New cam belt kit and water pump fitted in April.
3.2 exhaust manifolds. (SAI deleted, EGR blanked off)
New exhaust (cats back) fitted this time last year.
New drop links last month.
Everything works as it should with no knocks, bangs or other orrible noises.
MOT'd until March 2014.
Stacks of history including the original bill of sale.
Bad bits:
She suffered a few key scratches under previous ownership, and a couple of the usual car park dings. This is the worst one:


Key scratches:



One of the trims has a small bit missing. It never bothered me much but a full set of F/L trims will come with the car. They will need spraying as they are silver.

 One of the cam covers is leaking. I have a set of alloy covers with good gaskets so I will probably fit them this week.
One small patch of rust starting on one rear arch - not like other 98MY Omega's that all seem to be tea bags!
She's on disabled tax.

This has been a great car to own but as I said - it's time to move her on.
£700

Tidy old bus mate,what you getting next?

[Murph]

I've got my eye on an 02 Vectra.
Boring as hell but cheaper to run.

Just found out that a car can now be reclassified from disabled tax class without visiting the DVLA.
Just a trip to the post office now and it's done. 

Forgot to mention the tow bar with twin electrics and the line out converter for those who want to run an amp on the standard head unit.

Price dropped to £600 ONO.
Considering the work gone into the engine (and the pedigree) it's worth that for the engine alone!

interesting to know.

It is that - I was very happy to hear it as they are closing my local DVLA office soon.
Final drop to £500.

It's now a performance engine with free estate fitted to it!
