The toyota.......if your council will allow an already 10yr old car to be plated.......

Reasons.....

It will be more economical on fuel...
Any car you use for taxi work will get wrecked...
A toyota 'should' be more reliable.....

For longatvity (my last Toyota went to 250k on the original engine) and economy it should be the Toyota.  But for a far better looking car that is superbly comfortable for your passengers and has prestige, it is the Omega every time!! :y :y :y

it depends on what sort of work you will be doing.

Town work and the weekends where the car will be full of people who are a little worse for wear - Toyota - Reliability and economy

Airport runs or something a little more upmarket - Omega.

We have about half a dozen Omegas in Plymouth as taxis, all of them on LPG, driving through town on a saturday night i could make a killing with the number of people who think i am a taxi and come up to the window and ask to get in, either that or it is my charisma  ::)

My 2.5V6 was a private hire car a couple of owners before I bought it and has clocked up over 220,000 miles. Still looks good internally with only pedal rubbers really showing any wear.
All down to what sort of clientele you expect really.....out in the boonies with 'normal' people LPG the Omega and use that. In town on a Friday/Saturday night......

Recently 'learned up' and being more careful now, honestly.
Ummm except for where I fix one thing and break something else
