Do I scrap a troubled CD to buy an immaculate CDX?
« on: 25 July 2008, 22:51:04 »
Hi all -

I have been a proud Omega owner for the last 4 years - Y Reg - 2.2 CD - beautiful car in every way - but recent intractable sensor problems, very high fuel consumption etc. etc. - have meant it's expensive to run - and it's getting really costly in repairs (I'm not gifted, maintenance wise!).

I HAVE LOVED this car, and I want another Omega if possible.... now, would you believe, I have been offered (by a trusted friend) another absolutely immaculate Y Reg 2.2 - CDX Auto Leather - for £1,500 and I'm tempted to buy it [downside is it has 156K on the clock, but it's had a recent set of tyres, cambelt replacement 2 months ago, also fitted with newish (gas) shockers] It is returning a good 20% better fuel economy than my CD, too.

I'm thinking of scrapping the CD and buying the CDX. Does that seem reasonable - or too big a gamble?? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hi & a warm welcome to you  :y
The choice is completely yours, only you know how much trouble you've had with the car. If it was me, i'd go for the CDX & offer the parts on here, but you'll need 250 post to do so  :'( or you could sell it as complete, but you'll get less. It's a tuff one  :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/
What ever you decide, i hope it all goes to plan  :y
