hi guys i havnt actually got an omega yet, but iam on the look out for one, but i have afew questions

im after the 2.5td (bmw engine) omega

whats the average mpg?
are they reliable?
insurance group?
are parts cheap?

basically i need a good strong relable 2nd car so that i can toe my 200sx, and be used as a daily driver.

Welcome to the site :)

Tractors, when running give me around 37mpg - more on motorway trips, but less if using around town a lot.
Are they reliable? No comment  :-X
Are they cheap to fix? Parts tend to be more expensive that the petrol Omegas

Welcome to the forum, try not to be swayed by the fact that the td is BMW motor, unless it has to be a td. The boy is the man to ask ?'s. ::)
