Mukha kasing maayos talaga.. Ang iniisip ko lang is yung sinabi niyo dati na mahal ang parts at mahirap maghanap.. Paano naman po yung tibay niya at reliability? Is itbsafebto buy a very well maintaned na model nito? Thanks po ulit.
I wouldn't get that if I were you. I'd rather get an old Volvo than this one!

The owner of a well known talyer once shared that he has an Opel Omega. He raved about its excellent ride and performance... That is until something broke down which required the change of the whole transmission... and there was nowhere to get parts for it. If he would source parts from Europe, it would cost close to the entire resale value of the car. When on a trip to Canada, he chanced upon a junkyard that had a Cadillac Catera (rebadged Opel Omega) which was sold for parts. The owner offered him the whole car for 1800 Canadian bucks. Now he would have taken just the transmission assembly for 1800 bucks but it was take the whole car or nothing. Shipping the car would be such a hassle that he just let his Omega rot in his garage, with almost showroom new leather seats and paintwork.
