We use a Halifax Clarity Card for all foreign transactions whilst away. No transaction fees, irrespective of which country it is used in, and very favourable currency exchange rates; better than the local banks, and way better than any exchange bureau or ATM withdrawals. Not sure whether you have to have a Halifax current account now to have the card......

My question is not about if Cadillac is more worth than omega.
My main question is about this model (Vauxhall, Cadilacs, omegas) all together. Ok I will ask straight.  is it not too much to spend about 1500-2200 eur for this car in now days?

But how about its value ? Its Cadillac..
I'm interested is it hard to sell in Europe Cadillac.
I also know that those engines do not have a good reputation, even though the car has only driven 130,000 km..

It's the age old question - how much is an Omega or Cadillac worth?
There are a lot of factors involved to value one. I personally don't know how Cadillac Caterras are valued relative to Omegas, but assuming they are worth the same.... personally, I would go for a higher spec model (I would go for an Elite or the equivalent Caterra model), a V6 engine (personally a 3.0 3.2 above a 2.5 2.6)
And then condition plays a major part. Many now have corroded front chassis rails, corroded sill and rear wheel arches, plus other common Omega issues (which you can read about on this Forum), and with a model with notable corrosion issues, it depends if you are able to repair it and have the wish to repair a such a car. Some will say such a car is only worth £500 or less. But a well maintained, original top of the range model can command much higher figures than that. If you find a car for sale that is just that, the I don't think 1500 - 2000 euros is too high a price to pay for a good example requiring very little work , both bodily or mechanically. You may have to wait for sometime for the right car to come  up for sale, but finding the 'right' car is worth the wait.
You obviously like them, so once you've found the right one for you, it is basically worth what you are willing to pay.
In the long run, it is cheaper to pay a higher price for a car that needs very little doing to it, than paying a lower price for a car that needs body and mechanical repairs.

If you're in Europe, then it's basically a rebadged Omega and should be treated as such.

If you're in the US and miss your Omega then yes, buy it.
As his profile says Lithuania, if he waits a year or two he might manage a Zil.
People don't always change it when they move and I chose not to presume ;)

As he has only registered on OOF 3 days ago,  he is hardly likely to get his location wrong, and have moved in that time...... ::) ::)
