Not quite sure really. Bodywork wise mine is mainly ok (bar the odd scab just starting). My main problem is I'm doing 30k/year and it's just clocked 120k. I'm planning on keeping it till 200k and then we'll see what state it is in..... If there is nothing wrong with it then I'll keep it till there is

sure within weeks people will be running Windows on it 

There is someone who has windows 95 on it

If i copy that URL it works fine, they stopped imbedding 

No point in Win95 on it, XP would be very useful though, wonder if bluetooth keyboards could be used  :-/

Nah, not at the moment, voice only.

Although ios4 may change all that. Finally brings multitasking to cripple

I intend to keep my omega until the end, as I have invested heavily in it long term, but always looking for a replacement tbh. ESP in black.

I can't believe how cheap the older 2001/2000 Audi A8/S8 is

I fancy the A8 3.0 Diesels, of the newer shapes, interiors are very, very nice!

I voted undecided - the Omega I just use for local stuff, station parking and now tool carrying and trips to tip - so a bit of a sad end to twilight years.

However, it had new engine 15000 miles ago, new rear shocks and springs and tyres last year so it will run for a good number of years. Hence a bit of a dilemma.

The long journey stuff is now courtesy of Phaeton V6 3.0 diesel which is doing 36 to gallon.

How have service costs been? Or is too early to tell?

Too early to tell Tunnie but I expect to be on the long service interval as I use the Phaeton for longer journeys only and not round town. but costs in first 3 years are low.

I know many on this site change oil and filter very frequently but I tend to go with manufacturer spec.

OK I'm stupid. I've just replaced the Omega's with something newer, more expensive, and more......... inferior.
The insignia IS noisier, doesn't ride as well and is only achieving 24mpg (1.. Seemed such a good idea at the time.... Also to add insult to injury there seems to be a zillion on the road all of a sudden...
It may not last the month

On average very poorly driven from what I've seen on the M4. Lot of blue rinse and hats going on......smell of wee through the vents on occasion. 
Although I saw a VXR booted up the road the other day, impressive.

Sounds like STMO's perfect woman.

I'd rather keep my Omega than buy any front wheel drive modern rubbish that falls to bits! It was a sad day when my Senator went, it's a shame they don't build cars like Senators or Omegas any more!

[Lampynoiseboy]

Personally I'll keep mine as long as practically possible, mainly for the Tardis boot. It's the largest space in any saloon without going silly like a Rolls, or my disasterous 6 months with a P38 Range Rover.

On my 3rd now, best condition, best spec, newest one I've had and I love it.

Did weekend test an Insignia VXR last week, very very nice, but 4wd ain't cheap (see above!), but still didn't feel as nice as my mig

Oh well, enjoy it while it lasts guys- I will 

[venom]

For a rwd saloon replacement  I would head to the Lexus LS

I agree as I have this one, but will keep my Omega as I'm so impressed with it.

[FoxyV6]

i'll probably keep mine for quite a while, unless James buys it back

[mrcnc53]

No plans to sell mine, only 80k but needs a new cid
as it only works in the mornings when its cooler.
I even sleep in it when I go racing, great tow car.

Homer has to stay 'cos i'm looking to move house in the next year or so, so am looking to sink money into bricks and mortar rather than a future pile of iron oxide!

72K on the clock, no rot yet, and Darth Loo-Knee to look after him, what more do i need?
