Omega are good and quite a few reasonably new ones around for that money. Lex used to send our company the list of cars coming off hire available for purchase and there was always bargain 3.0 omega full kit 2.5 - 3 years old for around the money your're talking.
Had a hire 2.2 litre auto a while ago, very quiet, comfy although the seats do feel comfy straight away they were a little soft and I had to moove the seat to avoid a numb bum. Good auto box pretty smooth.

If you don't mind high miles then get your Omega, V70T5 or 5 series from the police auction - well maintained, no compromise on safety items (brakes, tyres etc) and big savings available.
