Hello all,

I may have the oppertunity to buy an omega that is is coming to the end of its time with the police.  It has done 145k but has been well serviced.  My question is how long can these engines last, is it worth buying if the price is right?

Many thanks,

Jase, to slide this back on topic, anything is worth buying if the price is right.  

With an ex Trafpol vehicle, please remember it is/was a working car, not a weekend plaything or pride and joy.  It can and will most likely have been driven hard, on the rev limiter, bounced over farm tracks and offroad where you would struggle to take a 4x4 sometimes, been bashed/dented (not all reported   ) and generally thorwn around to within an inch of its life.

That said, Omega is a big tough car and can take the punishment, generally.  If regularly serviced, engines can take stellar mileages, just be aware of what you are potentially buying....
