just bought omega 2.6 on 52 plate done 78000 no history but are they reliable cars :-/
-
Generally, as long as the previous owner had it serviced properly and regularly.
Also, check that mileage is correct - the Omega wears very well, and its tempting for dodgy 2nd hand car dealers to 'tweak' the mileage by a few 10s of k

I have had the 3.0, 2.2, and 2.6, all been very reliable, never let me down. get the cam belt and tensioners done to give you piece of mind

No. Buy a Merc if you want reliable. if you want something to do and you dont play golf then buy an Omega, it will give you many happy hours of fault finding & rectifying ect..

Exactly, you have had them from new, mine have always been at least 9 yrs old :)
seriousley though, I agree they are normaly very reliable, but this latest one of mine is keeping me very busy!

yeah mate ive had no big trouble with my v6!
apart from silly little electrical faults namely sensors that need to be replaced now & then the omega is a fairly reliable car you dont see many at the side of the road!
i reckon because opel/ vauxhall gave the omega a £30k price tag build quality seems to match the price tag its certainly better built than a vectra!
Mercs are alas not reliable anymore the later ones are terrible the last of the proper mercs was the W124

*touch wood* my 2.2 has been very reliable, best investment i ever made. Had it for over 4 and a half years.
Only needed standard maintenance parts!

Taxi Driver will confirm the lack of Merc reliability!

Mercedes low spec economy models not that reliable..But big sedans with monster engines (and monster prices and taxes) , never hear any of them have problem..And imho those are real Mercedes..
-
my grandad is an independant mercedes specialist!
i can tell you tales of woe with just about every model the W140 was the start of the bad mercs
as i previously said the W124 was when mercedes stopped making cars that were designed to last 30 years

Here only dangerous creatures can afford those long digits costing models.. ;D
And if those cars create any problem I dont want to be the seller ;D
