Title: Lowest miles Omega in the UK?
Post by: AAS on 22 August 2010, 21:06:09
Hello. I have two Omega Elites. One a 2.2 DTI, Estate, 2003 mileage about 75k.

The other, recently purchased is a 2001 2.6V6 Auto saloon, leather with a genuine 21800 miles. Both are Star silver 3.

Is my 2.6 the lowest genuine miles 2.6 - or indeed any Omega now - in the country? Just curious. Best wishes.

Wow thats low miles. Thought mine was quite low at 50,000 miles. You'll soon have a contender for my parents 99 V Plate Vectra with 20,000 miles on the clock. They've had it from new and rarely use it. ;D ;D :y

There was one on eBay a while ago, that had supposedly 9000 miles I think may have been 6000 miles.

A mig was sold recently with 17k on it as well, but after some things I have been hearing I am now wondering if all these are 100% genuine.

I have a 2.5 GLS with 65K V plate 99 so thats averaged 6K a year.

i find if your looking on ebay or especially autotrader some people cock up the miles,if theres a ad with a proper nice low miles omeeega and no mention of its pedigree or history i would take it as being iffy.
i could find you plenty of 117 mile vectras when they are guaranteed to have done atleast 117,000 miles  :P

if were talking diesel omeegas i did a post regards this very subject a few months ago and the lowest miles diesel was a ex goverment (gordon brown/tony sherie blair) bomb proof saloon with 15k up it.
some other fella had a year newer than mine with 45k miles and mine had 49k miles all very nice for diesels.

i'm currently thinking about selling ours though  :P

I have just put my car through its MOT. It has 114K on the clock. I read back through all of the MOT's and it did 90K in the first 3 years :(.
Since then it has averaged 3k per year. Two of those years it only did 200 miles :o :o :o

I have only had the car for one year and I am doing about 5500 miles per year. So I suppose if I keep it long enough it will become a low mileage motor, thats the plan anyway :) :)

Bloody hell - I was looking through my paperwork (yes, I'd lost my driving licence...), and found I'd done nearly 25k in my old MV6. I didn't dare work out the fuel cost for said 25k...

I worked with a bloke who finally gave up on his 2.5td cdx at 470k. was a '95 M reg that he had had from 4yrs old. Was well on its way to needing a second engine though. When he started it up you could hear it get going one pot at a time. :-/
My '55 reg vectra had 16k on it when i bought it in July. Now knocking on the door of 34k. ::)
