Omega General Help / Re: Bunch of questions

Also, I've noticed that most late Omegas on the trader are massively over priced. Some are over double the book price.
Saw one 3.2 Elite for £6.5k!
Are Omegas becoming popular again and thus the book price isn't relevant any more or are the dealers really trying their luck.

Interesting.
I'm not worried about economy as my milage is minimal. Just want to be comfortable when I do drive. I'm used to driving luxo barges and I just can't bear to buy a Mondeo or a Vectra.

Omega General Help / Bunch of questions

« on: 03 May 2009, 14:30:58 »

I'm looking for an Omega 3.2 Elite for around the £2.5 - £3k mark but I have some concerns.
I've been reading tons of stuff on this forum and I'm a little concerned that they seems to suffer an awful lot of problems. Now, I'm pretty handy with spanners but I don't want to be underneath it every weekend and I ertainly don't want to be stripping gearboxes down if I can help it.
Am I likely to have some seriously large bills if I get one?
How high is too high with regards to milage? Seen a few tidy 2003 models with 150k ish but FSH?
What are the serious mechanic faliures that these cars can suffer that make them uneconomical to repair?

Some pretty vague questions there but having lost my job recently, I don't want to be saddled with massive repair bills shortly after taking an Omega on.

Wow, what a warm welcome.
That Omega looks spot on for what I'm after Mike. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to buy right this minute as I need to wait for Lexus to come and take my GS430 away (Doing a voulentary termination on the PcP).
Pity as that one looks stunning.

Hi there.
   I'm looking to get an Omega fairly soon. Probably a last of the line 3.2 Elite, preferably an estate version.
I'm currently running a 2005 Lexus GS430 but due to redundancy, this has to go. An Omega seems to tick all the right boxes with me and I've always fancied once ever since I had my old Senator 24v.

I've been searching and you guys are certainly a fountain of all knowledge. WHat I'm looking for though I can't seem to find.
I'm after a guide to what I should look for when buying an Omega (other than the usual stuff when buying a used car).
