You don't mention the year, and according to Autodata there are also subtle differences depending on which of two tensioner pulleys are fitted, but assuming an Omega "B" MY '97-00, engine code X25XE, the change interval is every 4 years/40K miles. The tensioner pulley must also be replaced. The time given is 2.4 hours, so it's not going to be particularly cheap.
Whether it's worth buying knowing it needs a cambelt replacement can only be answered by yourself; there are too many variables, such as what else might need doing, how much will you pay for the car, how much you want one etc.
