I am looking to buy an Omega Estate Auto and have seen two for sale:
Elite 99S 27K at £11,000 with Network Q warranty from a Vauxhall dealer,
CDX 99V 15K at £11,000 from an reliable independant.
Allowing for the mileages, these are respectively £960 and £500 above Parker's A1 prices.
I would much appreciate any feedback from HJ as regards the validity of these prices.

I am certainly no expert but when I looked at these prices they seemed a bit high.
Just as a comparison, motorpoint have Omega 2.6 CD Automatic Estates for £11999 on a '51' plate with 12k miles. Or for £12999 they have a CDX on '51' with about 15k. They obviously seem to have the mileage to suggest they are ex-rentals but I seem to remember HJ saying that this shoudln't put you off them. And these have the newer 2.6 engine.

Just had the same task, to source for a customer,proved VERY hard to find low miles!
Plenty with high & astronomical miles!!
Could have had 00V 2.5 CDX Star Silver 48000 miles, with leather, but manual, £9500.
Ended up with 00V 2.0 GLS Satin Red 18000 miles, cloth, but enough toys for our customer, £8400.
As he was swapping in a K plate 2.0 manual he was quite OK with performance from small engine & liked the sports mode on the 'box!!
Best check spec you need-pointless paying over the top if you don't want a fully loaded car.

John later e-mailed me personally, so here is my relpy:-
I clicked on your name on your posting to send you a personal e-mail and got the message 'details withheld, so suspected some sort of trap.Good, low mileage Omegas create their own currency and the few specialists in them know exactly what their customers will pay. A 99S pre-facelift 2.5 Elite with 42k books at £7,300 trade and £8,975 retail. Add no more than £300 for the lower than average mileage. For a 99S 3.0 litre with leather,the prices are much higher: £8,725 trade and £10,425 retail. Add £400 for the low mileage. Figures for a facelift 99V 2.5CDX auto with 33k are £7,750 trade; £9,550 retail. Add £400 for the low mileage. Two Omega specialists are: www.niddvale.co.uk (Harrogate) and www.dkcarsales.co.uk (Thatcham)
