But why buy, when you can have it fixed and make new friends along the way?

Omega General Help / Re: Looking to buy...

« on: 15 November 2009, 17:02:17 »

This is EXACTLY the sort of info I was looking for.

I was a bit of a 306 buff and trust me they had their fair share of "involvement" issues. Swimmingpools in the footwells where one of my favorites...not sure they were in the original designs. lol.

I've had a little look about online (egay, gumtree. autotrader etc), and they seem to vary in price from £500 to £k's.

Are there any particular models that were shocking and as reliable as our arms in Iraq? (Phase 2 306's where...)

Omega General Help / Looking to buy...

« on: 15 November 2009, 16:17:44 »

Hello folks.
I'm looking to buy my first Omega and I would appreciate your advice. I'd just like to know what to look out for when viewing (other than the obvious ... lol )
Are there any blatent problems/issues that I should be looking out for?
What defines a "Good" from a "Bad"?
What's a reasonable price to expect to pay for a mid to top spec car?
Etc, etc.

Any advice would be excellent.
Sorry if this is a re thread... :-?

Hello folks.
I'm Jon, 26 years old (christ I feel old each time I type that), I live in Kent and I'm looking at purchasing my first Omega. I've been into cars for years, having floated about and run a modified car site - (NO, I'm not a boy-o, see further into post for the reasons why not lol) - and I'm currently helping my old man restore an 1968 MGB-GT.
Currently, I drive my wifey's Suzuki Jimny (always say it's the Mrs car, cos I feel it effects my masculinity lol) but, due to us having a baby in July of this year I have demanded that we purchase a new car (one that's larger than your average cigarette pack).
I've always had my eye on the Omega, since I had a spin around an industrial estate in a 3.0l V6 beast. Most eye opening!

Anyway, I thought I'd register to get the low down on the Omega and its marques, pick up and good (and bad) points, to make an educated decision as to whether it's the car for me (us

).
