First-time Omega owner
18. Oct 2006 at 21:33

Hi everyone. Seems like a friendly place. Thanks for lots of interesting and helpful stuff already.

I bought a '99 2.0CDi yesterday. My first Omega and my first car purchase through Ebay. Scary! But actually there was no problem at all and the guy I bought it from was very genuine and all seems fine.

Car is in excellent condition - 65K and everything works too. Full dealer FSH, including record of the vital cam belt kit change. I'm still struggling to take it in that I've got such a lot of car for £1350.

Looking forward to learning lots more about what feels like a great car.

wulfrunian Newbie Offline Posts: 7 Leicestershire	Re: First-time Omega owner Reply #6 - 18. Oct 2006 at 22:06 Thanks for welcome. I've seen comments about facelift/pre-facelift but can't find any model histories on the site. Mine was registered in April 1999, so I assume it's pre-facelift. How can I tell, and are the changes cosmetic or is there more involved?
