Hi Guys.
Well I am a newbie so I will introduce myself, years ago I had a Vauxhall Senator and it was the best car I had ever bought, wish I still had it, anyhow I bought a Pajero to pull our caravan and when I worked out the milage I was getting 16 mile to the gallon towing, so one of my mate said to get an omega, 2.2 dti cdx, well I bought one tonight, and I wondered if I would love it as much as the senator, I pick it up on friday, I think I got a great deal, 2001 model, FSH, 2 owners, 116000 miles but it is a Diesel, so really that should be nothing, its Panther Black, with Cream Leather Upholstery, loads of toys including sat nav, paid £1650. does that seem a good buy. Hope so, I will await your feedback.
Regards
Tankie :D

Hello and a warm welcome to you Tankie! :y

I too regret the passing of my Senator; did yours also go due to rust on rear arches by any chance, as much as expensive towing!! ;)

Hi.
Yes it did start rusting over the back wheel arches, I had them done but it started again, I would love to find another Senator, but they are like hens teeth, best car I have ever had, oh well, I will see how the Omega is, I am sure I will fall in love with it, I have never even driven one.
Regards
John
