The VAUXHALL OMEGA (1995-03) 5DR ESTATE 3.0I V6 24V ELITE AUTO LTHR is a large, five-door executive estate: a spacious, comfort-focused alternative to an SUV, rather than a compact family hatchback. Its smooth V6, automatic gearbox, leather trim and generous load area made it a well-equipped long-distance car, sitting in the same broad class as estate versions of the Ford Scorpio and premium German rivals. A VAUXHALL OMEGA estate is best suited to someone wanting relaxed touring, carrying family, luggage or hobby gear, and who can accept the running costs of an older, large petrol car. The Elite specification adds an upmarket feel, while rear-wheel drive gives it a distinctive drive; its comfort and space are stronger selling points than economy or modern-day convenience. Mycarcheck.com recorded just two look-ups for one VIN, so the figures are indicative only: average private-sale valuation £300, mileage 87,000, annual use 4,000 miles and 3.5 previous keepers.
