Title: Might have to sell the Omega soon...
Post by: SMD on 01 March 2013, 19:07:17
Missus wants another child and TBH so do I. This will be no.4 which means bye bye Omega in around 9 months time. Shame, as I spend poo loads getting the Omega sorted. Looks like my Omega replacement will not be a VXR8, Monaro or a Phaeton but a Zafira  :'(

Unless someone can covert an Elite Estate into a 6 seater  ;D

Thanks,

A quick look on autotrader indicates for Omega Elite money you get a poverty spec Zafira that smells of wee  :'(

reminds me of a friend that went to look at a people carrier before and he found a pile of vomit in the rear seats, he promptly left and didn't buy it ;D

although the gsi zaffiras are nice if your budget stretches that far :)

good luck either way though

You could buy a kit to turn it into a 7 seater, the rear seat facing backwards like the Volvo, mind,not sure you would find one now, we thought about it in 2000..... ;) ;)

I've been looking at the E Class estate which has 7 seats but they are quite ugly and expensive. Omega Estate would be perfect. Joking aside, can 2 rear facing seats be retrofitted?

I was going to suggest one of these - http://www.multimac.co.uk/4_child_car_seat - but I've just looked at the prices. You could buy an entire car for the same...

When you're a month or two off being ready to sell, give me a shout, if I'm in a position to, I may well be interested, knowing your car as I do...

Good luck with the little one! :y

A quick search on ebay.de for opel omega irmscher shows a listing for an irmscher omega brochure dated 1996.

Visible pic shows an estate, boot open with what looks like a rear facing seat with fold out tables. Possibly worth buying just for the part number :y could open a range of possibilities :y
