Some advice before purchase please.....
« on: 28 March 2010, 02:54:19 »
Hi guys

after my first omega nightmare can I have some advice please...

I'm looking at a 2000 w 2.5td gls, 130k 6months tax an 4 months mot...

It looks like it's been looked after but the anti rollbar links will need replacing in the next 10k

after Reading another post on a different forum(sorry to say that!!!) they advised someone not to purchase a GLS model...

Can someone advise me as to why they might have said this??? Money is tight after the first cockup so advice would be greatfully be received and noted!!!!

Regards

Shaun ;) ;) :y :y

Some idea of price would be good.  ::)
As for the anti-roll bar or drop links issue, they are around £15.00 a side and are easy to replace. :y

They have not been used since Carlton...

its Select, GLS, CD, MV6/Sport, CDX, Elite

GLS won't have the loom to add many of the toys, cruise control is easy, but thats about it.

gls trim level is very basic
gls base model
cd
cdx
mv6
Elite is top spec trim, but mv6 gets sports seats and better suspension.

I'd put facelift MV6 at just CD spec, but with HID's and sports seats / suspension

Yeah, just hinges up. Some had the 8v 2.0 as well. But the age the OP is buying won't be an issue.

GLS Sadly is base spec  :(

thanks for the reply guys

so 2.5 td gls 2000(w)
130k
mot July
tax 6 months
needs anti-roll bar links

£995

is it about right for the model?? I'm happy to pay that as long as I'm happy with the drive etc but do you think it's the right price or should it be more/less

Unfortunately I do not have much more money to play with otherwise I would have bought one from the for sale section
