Title: Importing?
Post by: reggill on 26 June 2018, 19:10:15
If any of you guys imported your omegas from the US, I wanted to know with who and what was your experience? Thinking of doing it myself but unsure

It's hard to understand why you might want to do that? A USA market Cadillac Catera is essentially a badge engineered Opel Omega B. So if you want a left hand drive you'd get way more bang for your buck shopping on the continent. Else buy a UK Omega.

Not sure what you mean here . Seems you are in Colorado, USA, :-\ so  are you thinking of importing a UK/Euro  model Omega to the USA ?

As it would be seem  unlikely to me  that anyone in the UK would want to import a Caddy Catera version to here , when  Vauxhall & Opel badged versions are readily available   :-\.

Or do you mean you are coming to the UK & you want to bring your Catera with you  ?

Omegas are so cheap in the UK, that there would be no point in importing them from another country.  ;)

Typically $3-4k vs £5-800 :o

Sorry if I seemed dumb. I wanted to import one from the UK to the US. I checked out companies like https://www.wcshipping.com/ but they advised me (unintentionally probably) to not pursue that path. Thanks everyone!

Why would you want to?

Steering wheel is on the wrong side for you and many Omega's here are suffering badly with rust in key areas. Doubt many will be around in 5 years time.

For cost of importing/buying, surely there are better V8 RWD options around for you?
