Default Omega dropped - what to buy now! - 12-15-2003 , 04:57 PM






This was a good value S/H car - so what do we get when they are all tatty!

Will a 5 series depreciate enough to be purchasable?

5 Y/O Omegas can be picked up for about £4000, what else can you get in the
same market place?

A blue whale? I think those cost a little more but the performance,
handling and visibility improvements are well worth it.
