    Omega VE 2008
    Hi there, I am new to this site and have a few questions.
    I am interested in purchasing a 2008 VE dual fuel.

    The car has SV6 alloys, spoiler and is on gas (SVI)
    I was concerned about the kms as it has 157,000 on the clock, however, I have been assured this is ok as it is on gas and is "supposedly" better on the engine??

    The asking price is $15,600, is this a reasonable price and is that amount of kms ok? (I know they are high, just wondering if it's too high?)

    Also..... Forgive my lack of knowledge, is the 2008 VE
    A MY09 or is that a different model?


    I currently have a 2006 Omega, Black with 232,000 on the clock and would appreciate some advice on what I should advertise it at? (cost) it will be without RWC

    Many thanks.

    Joanne

    Gas better on engine? Never heard that before. Was the person who told you that the same as the person trying to sell you a car?

    Have to agree that`s about double what it should be.
    A good thing to do is go see what everybody else is selling them for have a look in here.
    And good luck.

    Search New & Used Cars For Sale - carsales.com.au

    or ebay

    Thanks for the replies.
    A couple of people have told me that about the gas, hence that is why I came here to find out ; )
    I have tried to search for something similar, I thought the price seemed ok for the extras?
    I have decided to go with the vehicle, my current VE had 181,000 on the clock and it was also highway kms, it hasnt missed a beat. It now has 232,000 on the clock.


    Cheers

    Joanne

    2012 VE SV6 (LPG)
    My 07 VE has almost 145 on the clock.

    I have been happily cruising around on LPG for ~25,000km's.

    Loving it! Cheap to run :D
