i went to look at an omega sport last night. Very nice 2.2 manual 57k etc Just one thing i did notice was that it had an 'M' Power badge on the back, i was like eh? it looks like some ones stuck on off a BMW m3 or m5 etc on the back.
Also its been on TV as its owned by a bloke that puts them in tv shows and adverts :)
FSH good cond etc.
What would be around the right price do ya think?

age?
Being a sport i would suspect 2002 ish.
Why on earth they badged the 2.2 a sport i will never know, its not sporty!!
Don't pay any more than 2.4k

Its not that bad and you did get MV6 bumpers and trim :)
These do make quite good money but if you can get it for under £2750 then its a good buy ;)

Is average, nothing more.

I have a 2.2 manual, and its not sporty!
Spent a lot of time getting performance back, lots of oil changes breather cleaning, its picked up.
But still slow as fek.
£2750 is overpriced, there is a 2001 3.2 MV6 retail spec with 49k miles going for 2.6k.
Its worth 2.4k max.
-
had this conversation before regarding "sport"
its cos it has all the cosmetics of the MV6 but without the V6 engine
-
Although 2.2 its still within
idiothead Darling's clutches for the £450 a year tax, isn't it?
Personally although low mileage I think all those valuations are well over in the current market.
-
£430 as from 2010
-
Omega Sport - verging on a case for the trade descriptions!

No, not all.
People still keep making this mistake, if its post March 2001, yes but pre? No.
My 2.2 is on a 2000 plate, so its not affected.

but its a 2.2 sport, so it will be after march 2001
-
Nope its a 2000 X plate so no high tax increase.
Got it for £1850 but tbh wouldnt have payed more than £2200 for it just because :P
I pick it up on monday so ill get some pics up then. Also look out for it on TV ;)
Some pics from the advert

Looks Tidy :y
-
Does look nice ;) but where is the boot spoiler as i thought all sport's come with them.
-
that car has been fiddled with...
Danny is right offical Omega Sports where only sold post 2001, this one must have been a standard 2.2 GLS/CD/CDX and had the MV6 interior added.
You can tell it was never a true sport, its missing the body kit, the Sport had the meaner front bumper and lip spoiler which that is missing.
This is CD spec car thats been fiddled with ;)
Guess its good all around, no tax increase, sports interior, just not the performance.
-
get the bonnet open and show us the engine, if you havent parted with cash yet wait on some more advice, car's showing as a 3.0

and if it is too late at least take that Mpower badge off... WTF?? :y
-
Its on the log book as omega sport 2.2i :S
I payed a deposit already :(
i called my insurance company and quoted the number plate, and it came up as an omega 2.2i 2159cc (or whatever it is)
Where does it show up as 3.0?
(http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/imgser-uk/servlet/media?id=755775115)
HAHA yea the M power badge is coming off lol
-
you're safe looking at that engine
came up on a VIN check website as a 3.0 but as long as it says on the V5, you've no worries :y
-
Sorry Oceansoul didn't mean to be harsh [size=8](Mpower)- [/size]nice looking motor there :y

You really cant compare the price of a 3.2 MV6 to a 2.2.. The V6's are near enough worthless at the moment, I've seen two 02 plate 2.6 V6's scrapped with reasonable mileage.. One had a failed CHG and the other had a failed oil cooler..
Both weighed in for scrap because its just not worth the agro of selling an oldish large saloon these days.
I doubt my immaculate 60k mile CD is worth any more than £1,500 in todays market.

Benifit we have is public assume the 3.2 is "gas guzzler", we all know its economy is not far off a 2.2!
If i was buying again, i would get a 3.2

3.2 is much worse, mpg wise. 2.5/2.6 seems a good compromise

If i had a V6 as my daily drive it would have to be a 3!

Yes, but you are young, live at home, do virtually zero miles, with no responsibilities ;)

Sorry Oceansoul didn't mean to be harsh [size=8](Mpower)- [/size]nice looking motor there :y
Thats alright, i didnt think you was being mean anyways. BTW the M power badge WILL be coming off.
So what spec should the "Sport" or "CDX" come with? i.e. what would you expect to find in this car?

HIDS
CDR 2006 Headunit
Leccy windows all around, climate.
Thats about it!
Cruise was not standard, but nice easy mod.
-
If it's anything like the MV6 spec the roof won't have been ruined by fitting a sunroof either. :y
Kevin

Well its got,
HIDS (xenons if thats the same thing :S)
CDR 2006 Headunit (not sure which one that is, its the single CD player - BTW does this play MP3 CD's)
Leccy windows all around, climate (yup and yup)
Thats about it! (its also got sunroof, and a wierd blind thing at the rear window :S)
Looks like its CDX then but with sport interior (o and an M Sport badge :P)
Going to be adding the Cruise control, Just another thought, is it also as easy to add traction control or not :/
Cruise was not standard, but nice easy mod. And does any one have a photo of what the Sport (or elite) spoiler looks like please. I seen some on ebay but they all look like dodgey copys and all look different.
-
won't need traction control, its a 2.2
-
CDR 2006 doesn't play MP3s, I'm afraid. It's a reasonable 4 CD changer. Fm radio is a bit pants, IMHO.
Traction control is not implemented on the engine ECU on the 4 pot engines so that's not possible. (It's not worth having on the V6, IMHO.)

Thought that would be the case. Oh well ive got my alpine with IPOD to fit in. Ive read on here that there isnt much space behind the radio, but is there enough to fit harness adaptors for the Steering wheel controls etc.
Also, what is the blind for, i guess its to stop other headlights blinding you at night ?
I never seen a blind like that before :/
-
i find it useful on my 3l works very well in the wet around roundabouts etc 2.2 doesnt need it though only the 3.0 / 3.2s

Apparently, you paint a hand on it, with an extended index finger, then roll it up.
Next time a BMW 318 is sitting 6 inches from your rear bumper... ;D

Blind: Cuts down on glare, keeps heat out during the summer.
Enough space if you replace with Single DIN unit, i fitted a Alpine 9854R in my 2.2 with steering wheel control adaptor.

Blind is fairly useful, every time I park up, I raise it to help keep car a shade cooler....
