There's a few 2008 models at Booran Holden, most are at $24,880, I'll aim for $21,500 I think. They have low kilometres, some around 30,000.

I'm in the market for a new car, a 2008 Omega. I want it to have less than say 40,000km and to be in good nick, and NOT an ex-rental. How much should I be paying for one from a dealer? They seem to be between $22,000 and $25,000..... but I am willing to haggle. What price should I aim...

Yeah it goes into gear if you put your foot on the accelerator, but as soon as you take it off, the revs drop right down. Goes for any gear. I could be doing 60k, put it into first gear with no throlle, when when I use the throttle the revs rise appropriately, but drop again with no throttle...

Hey, thanks for your reply. Oil isn't a problem. I changed it a month or two back and it seems okay. Right colour and level. I'll take a look at what you suggested. Thanks for your help! :thumbsup:

So when you select a lower gear, it actually raises the revs? This is when going down a hill with no throttle.

Hey, I searched the forums for a similar thread but couldn't find one. My transmission (1992 VP auto) seems to be a bit "weird". What I mean by this is when I'm going down a hill (it doesn't have to be downhill) and I physically move the shifter into say second gear, the revs do not rise. It...

Cheers, thanks for that! :)

Hi all, For the last couple of months my boot has been leaking. A couple of times I've had to remove a lot of water from where the spare wheel sits. That's where most of the water is collected. Also, there's usually water on the far right-hand side of the boot right on the edge there, plus...

Hey, I've been having trouble for a while now with my VP Berlina. There's this loud clunking noise coming from the front right of my car (somewhere near the wheel). It happens whenever there are bumps on the road, no matter how small they are and it happens on any surface. I can also...

Hey, I have two globes I need replacing - the far left one in the dash, the one which is basically behind the fuel guage (VP Berlina LX) and the other which lights up the right side of the stock radio/tape player. How do I replace them exactly? Thanks.

My VP Berlina leaks from both the rear main seal and sump. Such is life!

I've had the same problem, it turned out to be a shock absorber.

How fast is the engine revving when it happens?

Thanks for that. Yeah, I thought it would be best when travelling at a constant 100km/h to put it into overdrive. Thanks again everyone. Hopefully I won't have too much trouble installing one :D I might go down to pick-a-part now and see if I can find one.
