How much have you spent on yours ?
« on: 11 April 2008, 20:38:35 »
Hi,
Since getting my Omega just before Christmas, I seem to be a lot poorer!!

Just began to wonder how much I had spent on it, so totted up all the receipts.
I could hardly believe it, £1550 as near as dammit.

Apart from welding new door hinge on, and geometry and four new tyres, all done myself.
Does include all new cambelt (inc fitting kit) and water pump gubbins, camshaft gaskets, coil pack, battery, several oil changes etc and gearbox oil etc.

Soon mounts up though.
I'm sure someone will top this and make me feel better!!

normal service costs here, door lock soleniod & cam sensor were the only things thats gone wrong on mine in 3 years of ownership!

new cambelt and water pump 8k ago... gm parts only cost £120 quid  :)

i change the oil every 3 months, regular breather cleans.

Got to replace the springs soon, other than that. most reliable and cheapest car to maintain i have owned.

A lot is thanks to this place  :)
