Opel Omega, 2001, Helsinki

For sale: an Opel Omega Caravan from long-term use at a law firm — well cared for and maintained but in need of repair. 2.2 Ecotec engine with automatic transmission. A Finland car that has spent its entire 25 years in Helsinki, showing 355,800 km.

The car stopped while driving in June 2026 due to a head-gasket failure and a leaking radiator. It cannot and should not be driven except within sight distance for now, as the cooling system pressure forces fluids out immediately when the engine is started.
