Omega General Help / Do Iscrap my CD and buy a CDX?

« on: 25 July 2008, 22:59:38 »

Hi all -

I have been a proud Omega owner for the last 4 years - Y Reg - 2.2 CD - beautiful car in every way - but recent intractable sensor problems, very high fuel consumption etc. etc. - have meant it's expensive to run - and it's getting really costly in repairs (I'm not gifted, maintenance wise!).

I HAVE LOVED this car, and I want another Omega if possible.... now, would you believe, I have been offered (by a trusted friend) another absolutely immaculate Y Reg 2.2 - CDX Auto Leather - for £1,500 and I'm tempted to buy it [downside is it has 156K on the clock, but it's had a recent set of tyres, cambelt replacement 2 months ago, also fitted with newish (gas) shockers] It is returning a good 20% better fuel economy than my CD, too.

I'm thinking of scrapping the CD and buying the CDX. Does that seem reasonable - or too big a gamble?? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

Thanks for your interest - as a ballpark estimate, subject to seeing it, what would you offer? And could you collect? (I'm in Wolverhampton - going to view the CDX tomorrow morning.... need to take a quickish decision)
Cheers -

Newbie Welcome Area / Broke but Happy!

« on: 02 June 2008, 01:04:19 »

Hello - I've been a happy Omega owner for the last 3 years - but only just found out about this site. Nice to know there are so many Omega fans about.... I've just decided to spend quite a lot of money on mine [a Y Reg (2001) 2.2 CD Auto] rather than trade it in - in fact, the repairs will cost more than the car's worth, but this car's a real limo - expensive to run, high emissions - well, maybe - but it's beautiful, well-engineered, magnificently comfortable, low mileage, quietly powerful and soooo relaxing to drive on a long run. Why ever did Vauxhall stop making these lovely cars?
