I paid in the region of £1850 for my CDX. I sold it to JamesV6CDX for £1250 12 months later, along with repair/maintenance bills for £1100.

It's called omega ownership, and we love it.

Not with a 4 pot......

Don't count on it Vamps! I'm rapidly getting closer to that figure I have never had a car like this one, fix something & two new problems crop up, fix those & 3 newer ones rear their ugly head! I really love this old girl, indeed i've never been so attached to a car before, but the 2.2 appears to be a very problematic motor car to say the least!!! :-? :-/

I might have spend a little over that, but over 10 years..... Not counting service items etc in that, mostly been sorting out sensors but once done....

2 x 2.0L Estates, first one a 1995 bought in 2000 and had it for 7 years, second a 1998 Estate, bought in 2007 blind off ebay and had it delivered.......

Got to get the Cam Belt done in the summer holidays though, more expence.....

Now just need another one

Well I can honestly say hand on heart, that mine is a joy to drive, and as comfortable a car as you could ever want, it is also giving me a Degree in Automotive Engineering, and high blood pressure  , so when it finally leaves my ownership it will not be replaced by another

I'm at the other end of the expense spectrum(at the moment) My car cost £350 and I have spent about £80 so to keep it running(excluding insurance tax and mot)
Now that I have said that it will all end up in a ball of flames knowing my luck.

So what else would you get? I have driven over 80 Miles looking at cars today, 3 Omegas, only 1 decent, lpg one absolute garbage and they want £2495

I do not want a Merc or BMW looked at a range of dealers today including some place in Darlington doing a 96 hour special deal on all cars I want an Auto, I seem to have increased my budget by 100% and am still unsure of what I want. Looks like if I cant find a Mig then Vectra or Mitsubishi Colt, auto diesel, see what tomorrow brings.......

Seriously though good luck with the hunt for a car I can only ever dream of affording.

All the garages are open, will go after Church...

Dunno who it is, but somebody's signature line says: "all Omegas are a work-in-progress"

Just about sums it up perfectly,( for me any rate.) but you just gotta love it.

Mine is similar Omegas are an ongoing project
