I am CHUFFED to announce that I have gotten my 1st MIGGY. I went way over budget but what the hell.
Am I allowed to post a link here to the sale on eBay? I just wanna know if I am doing ok from you experts in OOF. ;D

Yes, your allowed. It's only items that are owned & being sold by you ;)

Can't see it being a problem... You're not selling it ;) ;)

Oh... And congratulations ;D ;D

Here it is
Item I.D. 130351317839
I am super CHUFFED.
All I need to do now is source a set of BLACK leather seats for it and a nice 1 din dvd player and rear headrest screens and I will be sorted.

Let me know what you guys think from the description.

Looks like a goodun :y :y

Very Very Nice 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Only 27,000 too :o :o :o Excellent :y :y :y :y

excellent, nice super low miles  :y

Couple of things to do on the 2.2:

1) Regular oil changes, i do mine every 3k, but i'd say 5k max. It makes a huge difference to the smoothness of the engine. On TC, filter is about £1 oil is £9, so its cheap as chips DIY...

2) Coolant Changes - Biggest killer of HG's on 2.2 is old coolant, make sure its got Vx Red in there, if not flush it clean with water, then fill with 50/50 mix of Vx Red

3) Get yourself a code reader, can't cheat like with V6, around £35 from eBay

4) Clean the breathers as per this guide.... http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1162397695

5) Make sure the cam cover is not leaking, if it is, replace with geniune gaskets and follow my guide: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1225024176

I'd give it a good service, no matter what the history says, fuel filer, air-filter, oil change, coolant change.

Also check the paper work on the cambelt, it must be done every 4 years or 40k which ever is sooner, also always replace the water pump at the same time as its cambelt driven.

Thats a very nice find. Would you be prepared or permitted to say how much was paid for it. Reason for asking is in the classifieds they tend to overprice so just wondering what kind of margin is available for negotiating. This is just in case I decide to quit out here and come back to the UK and hence search for a new Omega.

I paid £2850 for it, maybe overpriced but what the hell!!!

Looks very nice and should give you many years of comfy motoring :y

it is a lot of car for a little money. If you're going to hang on to it, then it doesn't matter.  :y

It's a lot of money for an Omega that age.
But if it's as good as the listing says, and been serviced and everything done as stated then a good buy.
Plenty of years motoring left in that one if looked after.

I am sitting here GUTTED DEVASTATED and broken hearted.
I  just got a notification from eBay that the seller has cancelled the transaction as he has decided not to sell the car.
This has really pissed me OFF big time.
So I am back to looking for a miggy after all.

eBay is full of idiots, scan autotrader  :y
