Hello

[Sipey]

Hi All,

Joined the forum yesterday as I am in the market for an Omega and owners clubs are usually the best place to get friendly advice.

Let me start with a brief introduction.

My name is Mark, 29 and live in Berkshire with my lovely fiancee and two ankle biters.  Having just sold my Monaro I was intending to buy a cheap run around but can't bring myself to buy a 1.6 Asrta/Vectra or such like.

What I would like is an Omega 3.0 Elite, Auto box and leather. I have seen a few advertised and a couple with Irmscher kits. What is the going price of these? Also, what needs to be paid special attention to when I go to look at one?

Jim - I especially like your car. What would a late 90's model with 100,000+ miles set me back?

Look forward to speaking to many of you in the coming months.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Danny,

It is that car that has prompted my questioning. What in your folks opinions is it worth?

Many thanks,

Mark

I know Jim has done alot of work on his, and the black one he got at a VERY good price

the one i linked has 132k on it, i cant be bothered reading the whole advert but i reckon £1000 would probably be my limit, which is what it's at now i think

Hello sipy and welcome.

[Sipey]

Right, I have spoken to the chap and arranged to go and see it. What is especially important to check on these cars?

Also, has anyone else formed an opinion on value? 1,000 ain't gonna buy it, how much over that should I stop at?

Cheers all,

Sipey
