Good luck with your test and getting an Omega.  I found all sorts of useful advice on here which made buying my first Omega much easier...  Insurance price is a bit of an ouch though but probably par for the course I guess.  Anyway - welcome!

Welcome to the site, and good luck on Thursday :)

I guess its down to insurance to help you decide on which engine...

Hello and welcome to the site.  Given your age and insurance woes, I'd plump for a 2.2 CD or above.  :y

If choice and finance permit an MV6 (sport) or Elite (toys) would be best choice, but both are V6 and pricey to insure :-[

Hello and welcome to the site as said dependant on funds and personal choice a 2.5 V6 isn't that much more to run fuel wise than a 2.2 4 pot. MV6 is the sportier version Elite has all the toys and you get alot of "bang" for your bucks due to heavy depreciation :y good luck with your test and be sure to ask any questions about buying a luxobarge on here cos they know there stuff 8-)

hi and welcome,good luck with test 8-)

Hi and welcome to the forum and good luck for tomorrow :y

Mechanically nothing much out of the ordinary really with a V6 Omega,I've done oil cooler,cam cover gaskets,breathers,cam belt, usual Omega stuff really! Mot wise,failed on the N/S/R brake pipe which can be a mission and steering idler,but overalll pleased with her,10 years old and 160k can't really grumble

well it certainly dont lok ten years old congrats on that i have a opel astra now 97 125k an the car is perfect no trouble at all it amazes me  ;D ;D would ya ever go back to any other car now other than your omega

;)Congrats on passing your test. Despite Migs being value for money ins. groups are a bit steep.
      Try confused.com & enter a few models you fancy (cars!!) then you'll get an idea what to shop for.
        Let us know when you find your Mig. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
