.... the Omega has the biggest chance of any Opel/Vauxhall to become a classic. It was the last RWD Opel. Just give it time. 

The Omega will become a classic about five years after I've sold mine.     It's happened to me a few times already with Fords. I owned them for years, looked after them religiously, sold them for peanuts and lo and behold they've become a classic worth a fair bit of money a few years down the line. The moral of the story is, buy what I buy but keep it for a few years after I've sold mine. You won't go far wrong judging by my previous history.

Sounds like a plan. Please start sending lists of all you buy from now on to me.

In all seriousness, I also know people who have gone through that same thing. It sure seems to leave a bitter taste on the lips.

Maybe just never sell your Omega then.
A black 3.2 is among the best you can have when it comes to Omegas.

I know of three you won't see on that list!!

Why so keen to have a 3.0 manual then

Suspect your edit was a deliberate effort to obtain the result it achieved

I said "among the best". 

Any 3.2 or 3.0 and even a 2.5 V6 petro to be honest, as an Omega are the best there are. I just happen to have a preference for manual. We have been there before 

But just because I want a manual for myself doesn't mean I can't appreciate a 3.2 auto. It is still a fine and among the finest Omegas.

A lot of opinions flying round here, and I suddenly realised I haven't put my tuppence worth in yet:
Ancient, rusty old barges. Undrivable in the wet, like most rear wheel driven cars. Old technology, with a million fault-prone sensors. Seriously thirsty in 3.0 or 3.2l guise. Nothing but trouble and I wouldn't have one if you paid me.


I think that just about covers it 

[New POD]

To be honest, if you think how things work with classic cars, the Omega has the biggest chance of any Opel/Vauxhall to become a classic. It was the last RWD Opel. Just give it time. 

I doubt any of us will live that long.

It seems that once you reach rock bottom, there's about 4 years before the prices start to rise. Look at the Mk2 and Mk3 cavalier.

Couldn't give a Mk2 cav away in 2004, but by 2008 they were starting to rise rapidly.
Couldn't give a  Mk3 cav away in 2013, but by 2017 prices are again starting to rise rapidly.

I reckon by the time I'm 55 omegas will be very thin on the ground and Prices will be double what they are today.

Hmmmm........£200 then....
