Hi,
Well after over 3 and a half years of being trapped in a 1.2 8v Corsa I've finally managed to get the right lifestyle to buy the Blue Elite that's parked up the road. And despite knowing everything that an Elite is kitted with (most recent car didn't even have a rev counter), I'm still absolutely blown away at the value for money relating to the kit-count. I've been an Omega owner for 1 week now and have driven London inside out since (and found a few more petrol stations).
Seriously, anyone who thinks they're expensive to run should always bear in mind the equivalent 5 series or A6 purchase costs and pat themselves on the back knowing they got a bloody bargain.
Mine's a looker on a 2000 plate with what seems like every conceivable extra, and if it cements my adoration, EVERYONE who has sat in it so far has had to remark that it's a hell of a lot more than they were expecting... every critic's a badge snob!
Sorry to go on guys, on my first posting, but I'm chuffed.
Plus I've been looking on this site for a long time using the buyers guides to bag the bargain in the first place - so belayed thanks.
