Just love them and always have and probably always will  :y

My love for them started when I drove the 3.2 V6's in certain Police force, never looked back since  :D

Is it just me or does there seem to be less and less on the road, shame  :(

Why an Omega?
At the moment, I'm asking myself that question over and over again.
But not in a nice way.

Well I've driven a Mondeo for just over a week now, just got back into my Omega to drive it round to my back lane to give it a wash. The difference between the two cars is remarkable, I swear it felt like a Rolls Royce compared to the Mondy. I'll be really sad to see mine go, and it'll be for peanuts  :'(

I can always find space for an extra car, it may get moved every 4 weeks or so?

cheap as chips
easy to fix
looks like a taxi
really good handling
rear-drive
relatively few toys if you pick the right spec

they tick all my boxes

It's the toys that won me over - especially the rear blind (sad, I know  :-\).  I picked up my 2000 Elite for £300 as it had failed it's MOT and the seller was emmigrating.  2 new boots, plugs leads and rear exhaust and she was good to go. :y

The best bit about the RWD V6 with the auto is that you can schmooz along like a grandad or turn off the TC and hit the sport button and drive it like you stole it.

I only get 16mpg around town, but I only do 3000 miles a year, so who cares ???

that would not be  a problem, and kidlington is only a few mins from wendlbury!!
trouble is Josh,it would probably lower the tone of your place??
however,that is a stunning offer so close! thanks very much indeed, may take you up on it!!

hmm,why an omega....
well,after having 20 years of relatively trouble free motoring from mk2 and mk3 cavaliers,inc 9 years from a v6 cav,i decided to make the jump to the omega simply for comfort and big boot,nice and light 2 tone interior,crushed velour heated seats etc...needless to say ive had my fair share of problems with it,but,its never actually broken down......the fault codes can drive you mad,but with the help of this members advice from this forum,ive learnt a lot,saved money and cured my cars faults...
without all your help.ide of scrapped the car ages ago...
due to this,i now enjoy driving the old omega....thankyou to all who have given me advise.. :)
fuel economy is not great,but hey ho,
the drive and comfort makes up for it.. :)

You do realise Josh is a car dealer, right? Next he will be asking for the logbook, you know, just in case  ;D

When I got employed at my last company they were selling a facelift 2.2 petrol saloon, the sale was for employees only.
I was the only bidder and bought it rether cheaply compared to other migs on market here.
I loved it how it looked, it was black metallic saloon.
I did invest a lot of money through ownership (lpg-ed it, changed the clutch, new tyres etc)
My wife (then girlfriend) was in another country and still is so I had to travel alot.
Loved the comfort and road handling of the mig.
When I was fired (still unemployed) I had to sell it and buy something cheaper.
Had a mazda 323f y2001 and it was a nice car but I missed the comfort.
Sold the mazda when I saw one cheap minifacelift 2.5td estate and bought it.
Unfortunately since I cannot find a job nowhere looks like I'll have to part with this one also  :(
