After the omega went belly up i got a cheap VW Golf which has done me well but the gearbox is on it's last legs and i really really want another Omega :)
Has to be an auto, preference for either the 2.0 or tractor as i'm a poor student nowadays and need the fuel economy :)
My student loan is paying for it :) so end of April ish
Other than that spec etc not too fussed, has to be running tested and taxed with at least a few months on each.
Budget - err as low as possible - hoping under £500

I am looking to sell mine - 2.5 auto '98 S plate, 94k.
New oil pump, DIS & HT leads, cambelt kit & valves (after previous one went) - runs superbly. MOT to Dec 2009. (passed last one with flying colours)
Downside is body work - usual rust spots on rear arches/ door and couple of scrapes from the car park.
If you are keen, post back and I will put up some pictures. :y

Yeah just noticed that after posting!!! ;D
"Good point, well made"

Although it looks like a nice drive.
Multimap measures the carbon footprint in "a small car" for this journey as 126kg. I guess the meggy would give out slightly more!
-
hey psg yeah interested let me see pics :)
and drive - hell yeah - :) i'm a photography student so the opportunities to stop and take pics rock :)
-
Cool, will post pics Thursday - look back then!! :y

would depend on the route my navman would come up with but i reckon sitting on the M6 would be a much easier drive up for me :)

Sorry i've been noseying about is this a 2.5V6? i assumed 2.5 tractor?
I'm not wanting a 2.5 - i'll be doing a bit of running about at college and the fuel economy is a big issue so no way i could afford to run the 2.5 with all the mileage...unless the v6 is somehow more economic than the 2.0 ???
-
Yes it is a V6 - unfortunately. Do you still want pics??
-

how bad is the fuel economy? i reckon it's going to cost too much for me to run though in comparision to a 2.0 or tractor???
-
hmmm according to parkers the fuel economy is only 2mph worse - ach go on let me see the pics :)
-
Cool, will give her a hoover and wack up some pics.. :y

ha ha ha yeah i know - it was just me thinking a v6 would be half the fuel economy of the 2.0 but it looks pretty much the same :)

Ok - here are the pictures!! :y

Anything else you need to know?
Just ongoing slight coolant loss & coolant warning constantly on - However, will take weeks between top ups, garage have not been able to fix this (suspect HBV). Had rad pipes replaced recently
Other work done: Engine valves, Cambelt, Oil pump, DIS pack & HT leads, Brake light switch.
As I said, the engine is superb, so smooth and quiet.
Road Tax till end-september, MOT till December. :y

I 'may' have a 2.5TD Auto Elite (R Reg) for sale shortly if interested? It will be slightly above your budget, but you dont find that many TD Elites! - Has all the toys! Electric everything / Leather / Xenons to name a few!
I got it as a little project, which was going to replace my 3.0 v6. However I cant part with my 3.0 so I dont know what to do yet :-X But one has to go. :'(
Ive had it on the road just under a week as a little test for myself, and its quite nice to drive. Still got to change the engine oil + filter + coolant. And I've got new brake pads waiting to be fitted (both front and back) and then a brake fluid change.
Its a darkish blue met colour too. Haven't got round to taking photos yet, Like I said, I've not had it that long!
I plan on doing the above work to it, and then insuring it for another week. I will then decide if i'm keeping or not. If its for sale, it will be the end of this month / start of next.
Drop me a PM for more details. :y
