Title: WANTED: F/L Auto Saloon
Post by: Jabe on 18 June 2013, 20:16:32
Hey,

Well just last month I was really interested in one of the cars for sale here on the forum. It was a (nearly) one owner 2.6 that only needed a bit of work to the rear caliper or something, so it was an excellent find. Well I just found out it sold (for £400!!) and all because I failed to realise my inbox was full and the poor guy couldn't message me! GRGH!

So anyways, I'm on the hunt again for a cheap Omega to take me across Europe. Planning on driving to Greece via Italy and then over to Istanbul next month. After that it won't be driven untill we return.
I recently drove a 2.2 Auto and I must say it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be coming from a V6 (never floored it so normal driving was not shabby.) so any engine would do. I'd actually prefer a 2.2 for the trip now. :)

Hey SMD.

On a serious level I'm after a comfy cruiser to take me there and back without breaking down, that's pretty much all really :)

2k is definitely out of budget however I am planning on dropping that much on an Omega when I do return as I just absolutely love these cars. Not exactly an E39 but pretty darn close with about half the problems!

Thats a shame, looked nice and tidy for the price. What needed doing on it?
