I recently bought my black Omega 3.0 MV6 from a member of OOF, and first I must say what an awesome car I actually look forward to the drive to work now, for such a big car it handles brilliantly and predictably. I turned the traction control off for the first time in the wet yesterday and was giggling like a schoolgirl on my way home from work at 11.30 on empty roads, the back end doesnt step out as much as my Merc E320 estate used to. The car has had a Stainless Steel exhaust fitted and it sounds awesome, the only problem being that my two year old little boy has taken to sitting with his fingers in his ears when in the car, I like the spec of the car, and its sooo comfy to drive, only down side of this car in general is the mpg
When buying any second hand car, its gonna have something wrong, and I guess I was pretty lucky with this one, when driving the 300 miles home after picking up the car (and leaving my old stop gap one as it conked out), I noticed the car was pulling pretty badly to the left, got it in to see a mechanic I trust the next day and first he changed the rear brake pads, still the same, so after a couple of days it went back to him and the fault was diagnosed as the front suspension arm, so got these fitted same day (both sides) he then showed me the problem, which was a split bush, strangely a new arm had been fitted quite recently on one side, and that was the one that had failed, hope these cars dont eat bushes like my vectra c used to. Anyway even with the garage bill and the price of the car - what a bargain, how much would the equivalent Merc, BMW or Audi have cost in this condition
