Seen a couple, a little tempted 2.6 Elite with busted cambelt.

I suppose a lot depends on where the engine is, cost to collect it, state it is in etc

Is it complete?

Bottom line is what it is worth either as scrap or as spares. There was a time when it was worthwhile for people to spend time breaking Omegas and selling the spares but that seems to be slowing down.

A little while ago £150 was being mentioned as the scrap value of an Omega, I don't know if that is still the case

Just paid £142 to keep my perfectly roadworthy car  away from Coparts grubby mits

buying or selling?
I'd venture a price of 100-200 quid, delivered to my yard, depending on spec.
you might make 200-300 breaking - *maybe*
you *will* make 100 scrapping, taking into account transport and disposal of tyres.

It was £250, but that was when metal was worth £140 per ton.

You could always try an online quote from an recycler

We got £200 for a Suzuki Liana

I will post up the link I used later

They handed over payment then loaded the beast onto a transporter, all very professional

[Martin_1962]

So under £150 for one with bust engine, I will keep a look out.

I can hire a trailer and I can tow an Omega on a trailer no issue.

Also have somewhere to leave it - might make some money.

When the weather is better

As a project

Just needs to be 2.6

Engine is in a wreck on my drive.

If looking to buy and sell on, I think you'll be lucky to break even.  If its for the fun doing it, thats obviously different, or if its a keeper. But for a quick buck, by the time you've factored in all costs, I think you're on a loser 

[Sir Tigger KC]

If your plan is to build a good Omega from your trashed one and another, then it's worth whatever your willing to spend having a decent Omega that you know is a good'un! 

Otherwise a dead engine Omega is worth about the same as the fluff in my belly button!

worth doing then as you can make one from two

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes

It will be a bit of fun when the sun is out everything seems better then

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

What about looking for one advertised as head gasket failure (ie oil cooler)?
