I thought you only came on here cos you were replying to enquiries with a bad attitude.........
If you had not then this thread would have been a far better advert for your business than it has been and you would have come across as a far better person than you have done, so dont moan !!!

Also IF the car is so definately SOLD why is it still on Ebay only showing as reserved........ Surely if its sold then you can remove the ad..........

Anyway, if it is sold at your very expensive FULL price by someone who hasnt even knocked you down £50 for a tank of fuel then you have done very very well mate and if i was you I would buy a lottery ticket this weekend.

Nothing personal against you Lee, you are a car dealer, i just hate seeing people being ripped off not getting a great deal when buying a used Omega..........

Let us know when she has gone, I am sure you will !!!!

 

...and now Lee's on here coz he drives a Mig. So that's the end of that !

As for "not getting a great deal", I suspect the person that bought it would disagree. No one in a position to spend £8k on a car is going to part with a penny without A) Looking around at similar models, and B) Being pretty sure they know what they are spending £8k on.

Think about it, would you spend £800 on something without a little thought, let alone £8,000 ?  
Heck, I'll ponder over something for £8.00 if it's not something I must have.
At the end of the day, you will almost always find a better deal elswhere...eventually !  
With time and money spent searching, you get to a point where you say, "No, I'm happy with this deal !".

That totally contradicts what Lee said bud cos he was saying his customers dont care what price is it, they just want the best........

My own opinion (and thats all it is) is that even the best isnt worth half of £7995......

As Turk says ... if both sides are happy then it IS a good deal .. and our opinions matter not a jot.

We've not seen the car, or tested it, we don't want to buy it so why are so many knickers getting twisted

When I bought mine a year ago, some on the forum said I had paid too much, I was also "told" I paid too much for the LPG conversion, (but only by a few vociferous ones). I didn't care then, and I don't care now .. even though it is worth - on paper - less than 1/4 of what I paid.  I have got a car that is different than most and special to me, and I still love driving it.

Surely value, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
If the person buying it thinks it's worth 8K to them that is all that matters.

And that is the whole point, if any buyer is happy with their purchase what is the problem, there will always be someone who could have got you a better deal. The car is sold, can we just leave it at that.

Well, surely it has gone........??

Just got in from work, got on the forum and read this thread. All seems to have gotten a bit heated . Still, quite entertaining!!Personally, I'd say that it looks to be a very nice car and with that spec and mileage and with a 12month warantee it probably does deserve to be worth more than 5K .Problem is that it doesnt matter how nice it is , the depreciation on omegas is massive whether we like it or not and so, realistically, by "market" value it is  (vastly)overpriced. That said, if a buyer is happy with that,and this is the car theyve been looking for, well good luck to both them and Lee!!At the end of the day I'm pretty sure that, with the money we've probably all spent on our own cars plus the specs involved with the mig , we all value our cars a lot more than the price they would realistically fetch if we were to sell them. Besides, its not as if Lee is forcing anyone to buy it ......are you Lee?

Well according to this thread  

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1237073245

There are only 36 of them left on the road in europe....   now that makes them rare and collectable .. to someone who wants one .... so the price will be higher, especially for a good condition, low milegae one,  than a readily available car.

Interesting thought .. there are more Lotus Carltons on the road than 3.2 MV6 Estates ... but no one seems to be complaining about the prices THEY go for ??

For god's sake what exactly is your problem? We have taken a large deposit on the car and the car is being collected in due course. The peson buying the car is from Scotland... so do you expect him to just simply teleport straight to us and back home  I simply have not put sold on the Omega as it is benefical to us to know the general interest shown on the car. Our other Omega with 22K advertised on ebay has already had genuine interest from a few people, so things look positive

Well done to you Lee, and all the best with your business!

I believe in the "free market", so whatever the market stands in terms of price, for whatever you are selling, is what you deserve to receive.  That is business, always was and always will be. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
