Sounds very tasty ;) nice and smooth but with power to boot, and plenty space ;)
One thing, find out its service history. If the Cam belt AND tensioners haven't been replaced in the last 40K miles, its worth getting it done. Cause if the tensioner fails, the belt slips and the valves hit the pistons, Ouch!!! However there is plenty of advice about replacing these bits (even a DVD!) and the parts are quite cheap from various sources. Enjoy the car :y :y :y

The 2.6 is a good comprimise. Not as grunty as a 3.0 but cheaper to insure (very important) and no slower up to 60, very smooth as well

I know how you feel Mac, I got just as excited when I got my Omega and I didn't even know for sure if I was going to buy it when I went to view it - ended up driving it home the same day ;) :y

Keep us posted and get some pictures in the gallery. :)
