General Car Chat / Re: Lookin to buy - advise please

the 2.2 is no slouch and i have had 2 now.....under rated car imo...slated by some on here...but dont knock them untill you have tried it....no it wont be as fast as a tuned volvo...£1000 price seem resonable i paid £ 1500 for an 03 2.2 cd with 66,000 on the clock with F.S.H 6 months ago.

Thanks for the reply, are there any known issues things to look out for with the omega 2.2 or any other variant, like I say the cam belt has been done not too long ago so that's covered, how reliable are the auto boxes,?

Cheers
Mark

Sorry for the cut and paste but here's my question I asked whilst introducing myself.

Hi,

New to the forum and not a owner as of yet, i have been offered a 2001 Omega 2.2 cd with 69k on the clock with full service history and the cam belt was done just 4k miles ago, the body work is pretty mint tbh and they would like £1000 for it.

Now experts out there is that a good price and what else should i be looking for when looking at Omegas?
the wifes making me look at sensibler cars after the birth of our 2nd child a few weeks ago, my previous car was a volvo s80 t6 tuned to 323bhp, and the one beofre that was a r34 skyline (sadly missed).

Cheers

The mighty 2.2 will be far quicker than this.

Could be right the skyline was pretty much standard, now the Volvo on the other hand was stupidly quick, new front tyres every 4 month and even less when drag racing in the summer

Sounds expensive to me. £500/£600 seems closer to the mark. Especially as it is not a proper Omega.....

Does it? Been looking on the auto trader and places and it seems to be the going price, but you guys are the experts hence the question.

How do Mark. Welcome along 
323BHP, is that all 

Yeah it was good fun , auto boxes in he s80 are made out of chocolate that's what killed it, it would have cost more than the car was worth to get a new box for it
