Post by: Danny on 18 September 2007, 17:48:47: ya didnt mention this here forum in the ad, but then i suppose wanting £1295 on ebay you wouldnt want potential buyers to see the £1000 price in here!

good luck with the sale, ya know the only thing stopping me buying it is the fact i have nowhere to put it :(

I have recommended a mate look at it cos his wife wants one though...

Post by: JamesV6CDX on 18 September 2007, 19:18:42: I'm glad I don't pay £550 for a cambelt and waterpump change ;D

Seriously though, it's a stunning car, and well worth asking price.

Post by: Danny on 18 September 2007, 19:19:06: but not a pricey fix on a dirt cheap car apparently, on ebay for £1295 but i think he said he'd take a grand cash

Post by: JamesV6CDX on 18 September 2007, 19:21:55: If the oil is not collecting on the sump lip, it'll be a dirt cheap fix...

Why what is bad about oil collecting on the sump lip??

i have noticed this on mine

Post by: Crazydad on 18 September 2007, 19:42:03: it looks like its the sump itself, every thing else is dry
Title: Re: Car now on ebay.
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 18 September 2007, 19:54:52: If it's not the rocker covers, or oil cooler unions, then it will be the crank seal or upper sump. If it's the upper sump, then it's 12hour job plus to fix... the crank seal is easy enough, if you can get the bloody pulley off without breaking the key !!

Post by: stuart30 on 19 September 2007, 08:17:54: Just read the description and all the work that's been listed and the price said work would cost etc and with the comment that all this would cost £1500....yet the car is listed for £1295,now this for me personally (assuming i didn't know of Ronnie or OOF ) reading that EBay advert id be concerned why someone was selling a car that's had £1500 of work for £1295 making a £200 loss.....would suggest to me its a complete lemon that constantly breaks down and seller just wants shot of it.

Of course im sure that's not the case but as someone simply looking through ebay rightly or wrongly id assume there something wrong with it.

Post by: Danny on 19 September 2007, 14:05:12: tis definately not the case, knowing the reputations of the members who had involvement in this car its pretty safe to say its not gonna be a let down to the new buyer

at the end of the day a very small percentage of people make profit on selling their car, I know for a fact I wont get what i paid, and if i can afford to let mine go dirt cheap when the time comes, and make the new owner a very happy bargain hunter then that's what i'll do!

I let my 2000 corsa go for almost £700 less than its asking price because i found my omega was within the price range of what i got for the corsa, and although it might not have been a bargain, it was a justifiable "straight swap" (in a sense!)

Post by: Markie on 19 September 2007, 14:14:52: I see Ronnies car has an offer pending, oil collecing or not thats a fantastic deal for the buyer :y
Title: Re: Car now on ebay.
Post by: RonaldMcBurger on 19 September 2007, 14:41:20: I am NOT selling for a loss. I am selling low to sell it. I didn't pay £600 tyo have the cambelt and water pump done. I did them!

Post by: RonaldMcBurger on 19 September 2007, 17:09:35: Car has now sold (subject to collection). A great shame that nobody on here wanted it. A real shame.
