just out of intrest can anyone remember the cost of the omega elite 3.0 (1996) when it was brand new?
found some paperwork with my car stuff and it give's the cost of my car as 29.999 does this sound right to anyone?

Yep that's about right. They were always near the 30k mark though very very few were actually sold at full retail price, or to private owners...

I would guess high twenties/low thirties, so seems about right...

My 2001 was £24,000 when new, including Auto and Leather which were optional on the CDX. Bought it at 6.5k miles / 5 months old, for much much less than that...

My 2.2 2003 CD £19600 new. Then of course CDX, MV6 & Elite further up the scale. IIRC 2.6 MV6 was £25k. HTH

I know its sooo noisye compared to other 2.2's - When i start earning money again, i'd be tempted to get a 2.6 manual.

Convert it to lpg Tunnie.....that'll quieten it down a bit  

Oh and the knackered sound proofing in engine compartment wont help either  

[tunnie]

i will keep both until i go travelling, when i come back got a very hard decision to make!

If i get a job in London = 10 min drive to Bicesta train station - (not worth LPG for that, will barley get warm enough in time)

If i get a job in Northampton or MK which is a 30/45 min drive... then i might:

LPG the Senny, replace the chains and run it into the ground
Sell the 2.2 and get a 2.6

But i would really like a job in London, so prob keep the 2.2 if that happens

Suspect you will keep the 2.2......now you've had the sennie a couple of weeks now....have you discovered it using more petrol than the 2.2

Around town its a tad thirsty, but not bad for a 3.0. It was as low as 19 average around town, goes up quickly on the motorway, it was 23 when i left London, got to my m8s house in the midlands, had risen to 30.7 average...

The trouble is thats its damn hard to keep off the loud pedal
