this is my dream omega, if i were you, get it why you can (please post some pics if you do buy) :y
-
very nice car..Will you buy one for me also ;D :y
-
It seems all it's money but if the mileage is right, it's a late model so would maybe pay itself if it's a long term car. Are you p/exing Mrs Miggys Corsa or buying one & selling the other?
My only worry in your case is all your cars are black!!!!! :y

If the car is as good as it looks and cam belt changed etc then i will buy it and sell Mrs Miggys Corsa private.
Silver does look good though

lovely looking mig, £6000 though?
-
theres a 2.2 GLS on there for 6 grand aswell, same full irmscher treatment
tis an 04 plate with 31k
any other omega that age with less than 40k is £5000 without the kit, some with bigger engines
if you can get it with the kit, for maybe £5,500, go for it!

Cambelt is OVERDUE, 40k OR 4 years, early 2003 car should have been changed last year

:question :question
The DE bit is short for Dual Ellipsoidal, so it should read Dual Ellipsoidal (DE), and is basically the lights found on the new Vectra and Signum amongst others, a posh name for 'twin' HIDs
So i'm guessing Ellipsoidal, as in only one, is basically HIDs as found on later Omegas
-
6k ?? :o :o :o
I know its a 2003, but just be aware that in 2 weeks it will be worth 1k...
Personally, i would spend no more than 2k on ANY Omega, no matter how good it is.

Yeh, done some digging and apparently its the vectra (as i spit) ;D ;D 2.2 that is chain driven :question
-
Vectra 2.2's are chain (early ones had a nasty lubrication fault which caused a lot of problems. (Z22SE)
It's a different Engine to the Belt driven 2.2 Omega (Z22XE)

Thanks for all your comments, i am off to drive it at 15.30 today.
:y :y :y

It's a nice looking car, I'll give you that!
One issue, that may or may not bother you, is it looks a fast car with the twin exhaust and debadged..
This may attract attention from people wanting to 'play' which I'm sorry to say the car won't do to well in :(
The 2.2 is by no means sluggish, but you may be fairly surprised at just how it compares to your 2.6.
That said and done, it may be the looks that are more important to you, if not, you could always swap the kit over to a more powerful car if you werent to happy with the performance.

Thanks Jimbob, the car will be for Mrs Miggy, she aint one for toeing it, she will be happy, it will be a big difference from her 1.4 Corsa. :y :y, she will have 144 bhp to play with. ;D ;D
-
Shame about the size of the engine ;)
If it wasn't a 2.2, I could swear that was mikedundee's!

2.2 still not bad, as someone said an economical MV6, Mrs Miggy will be well pleased. :y

If you want a hand changing the cambelt it's a 1 hour job on those :y

Make sure they do the full cambelt kit, aux belt, and water pump at the same time, else the job's not worth doing :y

On a serious note, i'd make sure your good lady knows to lock the doors when driving about town.
Otherwise, what a fantastic looking motor, no miles and presumably a warranty also. Make sure that the tyres are good & the CD changer works ok. Yes, it has HID xenon lights.

Never got to see the car today, got stuck in traffic on the A37 wells road, very bad accident apparently, rang the seller and i am seeing it at 09.30 tomorrow.

well its half 10 fella, what's the verdict??
