HI all

Well, today me and my dad spent the whole day driving around Manchester looking at Omegas and Lagunas and a Passat too but found nothing of the standard I want.

If anyone has a very clean, honest Omega (ideally 2.2CD auto) on as late a plate as possible then please let me know.

Must have no interior/exterior damage, no oil leaks, no water loss, no smoke from exhaust.

Service history a must plus cambelt change records.

Dont mind what colour, or whether estate or saloon, but must have long MOT and ideally tax too

Budget is ideally £1500 but can go to £1750 for the right car.

:y

Danny has a lovely 2.6 MV6 auto... :y

Blimey!  :)

I know you had a 2.6 before but I don't think you'll gain much in the way of fuel savings from a 2.2, the omega is a heavy car unlike modern Passats and Lagunas with plastic wings etc.

Might be worth looking at Omega's that have already been LPG'd, there's usually a couple on Autotrader.

Bit over budget I'm afraid, nice car though!

Eh? He is asking £1,995 or nearest offer?

Can't say for sure, but I would expect he would like an offer of £1750  :y

i must add, elite pete is doing the rocker cover gaskets this sunday

this is not a car you can ignore, and looks much nicer than a CD ;D

I said Dannys car is over budget cos he want £2k for it but I Only want to spend£1500 ideally

I already made Danny an offer for that car which he rejected

Cheers

Martyn :y

In fairness, it was much less than what your original post has stated you're willing to pay for the "right" car

But a 2.2CD is the right car mate

Can make a final offer of £1550 for your 2.6 MV6 provided it's as clean and genuine as it looks in the pics and provided the rockers are done

Failing that's it's looking like it's going to be a Skoda Superb
:y

£1550 just isnt enough i'm afraid

you will find a 2.2 CD late reg'd for the price you want to pay i'm quite sure, i suppose it depends on how soon you need it

got a 2000 3.0L mv6 auto up for sale soon when all the bits and bobs have been done  ;) totally standard well will be  :y with cambelt done and rocker covers with breathers cleaned out travelled from lincoln with it and averaged 33.4 mpg will not be available until i have done what needs to be done but will come with 12months mot and 6 months tax  :y

May well be selling mine also ;)

No, well spotted, it isnt, but there was no suitable Omega to be had

Lovely car, great value, very well built, great reliabillity (apparently) and so smooth on the motorway

In some ways its like the Omega in that its a big car thats cheap to buy and run

typically today, a 2.2CD has appeared on ebay on a 53 plate for £1200

apart from 144,000 miles it looks to be pretty good

Yeah I noticed that too, far too many miles for me...

Really happy with the Skoda though to be honest.

Not so sure for a good one, there are lots out there though..... :)

Sorted now so no longer on the lookout for an Omega
