This is the problem with Omega's, the vast majority you buy now through Autotrader or Ebay will require a reasonable level of work on them to get them back to a decent standard.... then you've got the losing battle of tin worm beginning it's journey through your car starting at the arches.

If the right spec car had come up for sale on here I would have snapped it up because I know the chances are it would be in far better condition than from the sources listed above.

Despite the continuous slating on here, I am confident that when funds allow, i'll be looking at a 520d or 530d E60 BMW cause by that time I won't be able to buy another decent Omega.

I love the omegas mate dont get me wrong , on here there are some immaculate cars that need nothing but servicing and tyres ... if only i could afford a nice one but your talking a lot of money for a mint one that needs nothing doing to it , my funds wont stretch that far and not for some time .. would like a 3.2 estate in an ideal world but will have to wait  Rust is an issue with all the older ones esp on the doors and rear arches like you say but all mine have had that problem ...just patch it up and do your best but my last mig had more problems than was worth keeping it on the road
