Welcome to the site mate :y

Main thing I would say was make sure the Cam Belt and tensioner have been done, or knock them down £350 as thats what Vauxhall charge :y

well car done 103000 genuine miles, leather interior and hid lights proper vauxhall fit. managed to get it for £750 nice service history, had 2 of my friends come along who both own omega's and we went over it, nothing realy major found, cam belt and tensioner had been done previously, however is coming up to the 4 yr mark, so needs doing, something im happy spending out for.

hmmm I wonder who those friends were?  :-X

welcome Nath  ;)

it's unsual for CD spec car as it has HID lights, black leather interior and even the boot lip spoiler! ... plus the exhaust manifold gaskets sound OK and it has a manual gearbox too  :y

:)Mine's got cream leather with matching cheesey brown dash & manual. Dunno what HID lights are.
     I think it's down to what the first owner specced when new. Sounds like good deal. I paid £950 for mine, 12 months mot & 6 months tax, 95,000mls 13months ago. Cambelt change £235 all in. :y
      Cool choice of car, happy Migging. :y
