As you may know, I have decided I want/need an estate.
I have been offerred an 'N' reg elite, details below.
Vauxhall omega 3.0v6 Elite estate manual.
Gold with black leather interior, 115000miles with service history,moted till 26/12/2008 & taxed till 31/07/2008
electric memory heated leather seats
climate control
16" alloy wheels
abs with traction control
6 cd autochanger
towbar with electrics (just added for bike carrier)
e/w, e/sr rcl abs ebd pas
I have not yet seen the car but the seller wants £685 which I think is not unreasonable.
1st Question, this is an 'N' reg, will it have Xenons, self-levelling and dippy mirror?
2nd Question, I have a 1999 Mini-Facelift CDX 2.0l manual saloon with leather, CCRT700 and Carin. It has done 106K with FSH, it needs an MOT, an Oxygen sensor, and the breather valve sorted for idle. Is this car in this condition worth the same or more than the estate ?
3rd Question would I get a grand privately for my car with the faults fixed ? I'm sure it might just need pads and discs for an mot.
4th Question, should I straight swap, swap and ask for £100 (Carin value) or just buy the estate, and swap all the bits around (Carin,CCRT etc) then sell the CDX.
Final Question, anyone want to buy my CDX ?
Cheers for taking the time to read this.

I had a 'N' 1996 3.0 Elite auto and it had the self leveling, the dippy mirror, memory (front drivers) heated (all round) seats, rear blind, but no Xenons :y :y ....
...Oh yes and I sold it for £3,000 in 2002! :y

Thankyou Lizzie that helps, I'm not going to lose sleep over the Xenons, I suppose if I had the two cars side by side I could swap the projectors over from the CDX
Decisions decisions decisions ::)

Indeed! I would also add that a 1996 Omega is getting on a bit now. Maybe it is worth going for one more up to date and with all the toys?! :y

Hi
How many toys do you want. The 96 Elite is only lacking Sat Nav (and TomTom is better anyway) and xenons (plus side airbags for the worried amongst us)

At what point was the tilt steering added. As that would have to be a major consideration if I were going for it.

Good point !
I could live without the audio controls on the wheel but I doubt I could live without the tilt function.
