Welcome to the site mate :y

Main thing I would say was make sure the Cam Belt and tensioner have been done, or knock them down £350 as thats what Vauxhall charge :y

well car done 103000 genuine miles, leather interior and hid lights proper vauxhall fit. managed to get it for £750 nice service history, had 2 of my friends come along who both own omega's and we went over it, nothing realy major found, cam belt and tensioner had been done previously, however is coming up to the 4 yr mark, so needs doing, something im happy spending out for.

it's unsual for CD spec car as it has HID lights, black leather interior and even the boot lip spoiler! ... plus the exhaust manifold gaskets sound OK and it has a manual gearbox too :y

:)Mine's got cream leather with matching cheesey brown dash & manual. Dunno what HID lights are.
I think it's down to what the first owner specced when new. Sounds like good deal. I paid £950 for mine, 12 months mot & 6 months tax, 95,000mls 13months ago. Cambelt change £235 all in. :y
Cool choice of car, happy Migging. :y
