Potential Omega Owner - Buying Q?
« on: 20 July 2011, 13:06:51 »
Hi all.

Been looking at buying an omega for a while now, and as prices seem almost insultingly cheap I cant think of a reason not to.

Been looking at a 3.0 v6 elite on ebay, and tempted to go have a look in person, the only concern I have is mileage. The car has 160,000 on the clock. Although Im not to concerned about the engine having done that much (as long as serviced correctly, the car allegedly has a recent cambelt)what sort of problems should I expect suspension, rust, electrical etc wise from a car having done this much?

Id probably be looking to change to MV6 suspension anyway.

Also I know its hard to say, but for an average condition omega of this mileage, what would you guys consider a good price?


Cheers all and thanks in advance!

Ola! Welcome to the forum  :y

You will get a better response by asking your question in "General Help" section. Just cut and paste it.

Also have a look at the maintenance guides. They give a good idea of the issues.

Welcome aboard!

160K is high but not astronomical - all depends how well it has been looked after. 

As Varche says, repeat your question in General Help - most of us hardly ever look in here

Hi and welcome :) To be honest, as per everyone else, high miles are nothing if its been looked after. I bought one ages ago that had over 200k on the clock and ran like a dream :)
