Had a look at an Omega estate last weekend with high hopes of buying it. That is, until I took a look round it.
It was advertised as a 2.5i V6 Elite estate with auto transmission.
I found out that it used to be have auto gears, but it had been changed to manual last  July.
Although the front seats were leather, the back seats were cloth.
The stereo system was NOT a BOSE system.
There was no sat nav system included, even though I was convinced there should be, or is it just the 3 litre model that includes sat nav as standard.
There were other minor niggles, but what really bothered me was the auto box to manual box conversion.
Should I be overly concerned ? :-?

Needless to say, haven't made up my mind about this car yet......

Walk away, no run away. Thats been abused!

I think you already know the answer to that one P.

Quite a few people have converted their cars from auto to manual so I wouldnt be concerned with that if the rest of the car is good.
From your description though, it does sound like a bit of a bitsa, which might be a worry. :-/

Take your time and look around. There are plenty of Omegas out there for not a lot of money these days.

There was a post the other day with ref. to how many omegas there are for sale these days. Get one that hasn't been messed with. Then, if you must, mess with it yourself.
