Hello from Jimmy
24. Apr 2007 at 08:29  
Hi,

Another newbie!  This one’s called Jimmy, who is 25 and lives in Dorset.

I don’t have an Omega at the moment but have recently been granted permission by the wife to get one.  Having always loved the cars I am now really excited and am doing as much research as I can before I go looking at them – I know what I am like and I would end up buying the first one I saw.

My budget won’t be huge (around £1500 to £2000) but I hope to pick up a nice V6 powered pre-facelift model, preferably with leather.  As I am not in any particular rush to buy, expect lots of questions over the next few weeks.

Cheers

Jimmy

The mini face lift looks like the early Omegas but has a few upgrades, Elite has xenon headlights, steering wheel controls for stereo, side airbags in the seats and im sure someone will add more, its still early and the brain doesn't work till iv'e had atleast 3 cups of tea. Oh yeah mini facelift from 1998.

Welcome to the site Smiley

There is a post in FAQ section explaining mini facelift and facelift.

2k should get you a very good mini facelift, or a reasonable mid spec facelift...
