Howdoo and welcome to OOF.  Best place for Omega info on the web.  Pull up a keyboard and feel free to join in the gags and banter in genchat and elsewhere....   Thumbs Up!

The car you have spotted is a pre facelift that has climate control.  Its not a mini facelift as it has see through headrests and no side airbags on the front seats.  Engine is the short plenum rather than the longer plenum version of the later models.

Does have the Irmscher bits and bobs but also higher miles.

As others have said, probably heading towards the top of its value but, as always, dependant on actually viewing the car and getting the best impression of how its been cared for.  At least one tyre seems to be a Pirelli!

Ensure the timing belt and tensioners have been done at 40k miles/4 year intervals, without fail.  Rocker gaskets do leak.  Front wishbones do wear.  Heater Bypass Valves do fail as do oil coolers.  Read the info on here and get as much bargaining info as you can...

good luck!!   Thumbs Up!

Hi all,

I picked the car up today - had to pay a little bit more than the 1,000 but not much.

In my opinion it is worth every penny. It has every receipt/invoice for it since new and the body work and interior are pristine. With the exception of a small ding in the rear near side door and a light 2" scratch on the driver’s door that will clay out, the exterior is spotless.

Has had an aftermarket stereo put in it which has subsequently been replaced with  a cheap POS so will pop out at the weekend and buy something decent.

Weather depending, I will take some pics over the weekend and post them up.

Cheers all for the advice and the warm welcome.

Hi Mark and a belated welcome. Smiley Bet you were gutted to part with the Monaro! Cry Most of the guys on here drool over them.

Good to see you've got yourself sorted out with an Omega now - sounds like a good buy. Thumbs Up!
