Could be that he hadn,t really got the funds and was looking for an excuse to renege on the deal by being pernickety. You,re a gent James.

[Doctor Gollum]

Last person that did that to me lost £150...

Just been out for a 50 mile run

Pulls like a train on all 6, nothing visible out the back from the point I got to the bottom of my road onwards, no excess cooling system pressure, and, the levels haven’t moved

So sorry to see you are having problems with the estate. Al is right, I painted the top of the nearside wing, and gold is a bitch to match. There was a tiny mark where a flippin' fly landed on it before it was dry., So I never bothered to really polish it, intending to redo it sometime. No other work was done to any bodywork whilst I owned it.
I can't see that the HG has gone....never ever had any symptoms that suggested that. Always driven sedately, except for the spirited run around Brackley by TB.
Had I not been in a depressed state of mind with my shoulder problem, I would have put an exhaust on. The Belt was only two years old and a few thousand miles old. A new crankshaft sensor was on the cards to do. Then MOT. If my MOT man had failed it on that joint, I would have repaired it, and kept the car until whenever.

Tony, I have zero complaint with the car, or with you. At all. The car is a credit to you

My post is about eBay / people’s expectations

I’ve just sent Kate my number.

I’d rather take a hit than re list on eBay

Kate? That'll be some hit 

[Terbs]

Thanks James, I am like you, and would not knowingly rip anyone off. The £200 original price tag, was, reached with the scrap value in mind, so if not repairable, no major loss would be achieved. Also knowing, that if repaired, you could hopefully pass it on for a small gain.
I hope your luck changes with it.

no green little magic tree air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror

less than 20 back then 

keeps going up though 

I offer my sincere apologies to James if he is offended by comment 

I could send him a pound shop air freshener by way of apology

(can't afford a genuine magic tree freshener ,due to me recently purchasing a   ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶p̶i̶t̶  omega)

That's being overly picky for a 18 year old car.

Being more concerned about a couple of minor cosmetic issues VS the car being solid mechanically shows the guy to be a bit of a twonk.

I paid that 5 years ago for mine, and every panel has a dink or scratch! But it was low mileage and mechanically solid, and the interior was very good. And I wanted a car I could park anywhere and not worry about it.

I can never understand how someone can expect to pay less than a grand for an 18 year old car, yet want it in perfect mechanical and cosmetic condition. If you want a perfect car, buy a bloody new one and pay many times the price.

I saw yours on ebay and thought it looked nice, and was impressed by the very in-depth and honest description, then realised it was yours!

[ballcock50]

Having been without an Omega for a few years I have been looking for a replacement estate. I had put your add in my watch list and was very impressed with the description. Also knowing your reputation on this forum I would buy with confidence from you, It just goes to show how stupid some people on Ebay are, good luck with the sale.

I would have been round yours with the money double quick if I had won it as my current car needs a lot of work and I cant really justify spending the money or effort on it. and i'd rather buy one that has been looked after and had a new MOT put on it by someone who knows what they're doing than the usual cowboys I come up against.
