But it will save me a couple of shillings. Surely that's the most important thing. I mean, f**k the planet

Yes and as another incentive from the government , they have reduced diesel at the pumps to nearly as cheap as petrol ... quids in

Diesel used to be cheaper than petrol, so the price has been increased..............

Allways found the best deal is to try and sell your own car for cash and then play 2 dealers against each other for a new car cash discount,  dealers make thier money on the part ex or finance, if they cant get you on either of those then you have the upper hand as they want to max thier sales numbers.

They allways under value on your part ex, so selling privately you could gain £1-2k extra.  Then by wanting a cash purchase you could save 5-7.5% on your new car.

So you haven't bought her a nice v6 Omega yet because...

I hear that Vamps chappie is looking to sell his one as Swmbo wants an estate... that said, once Miss Vamps hears that Mrs Stemo has a convertible, she might insist on a straight swap...

Al.....just the man.....do you know what the actual difference is between these two models....energy and 2wd? Only difference I can find is the energy is slightly quicker( not quick, quicker  ) to sixty, but same output and equipment level....

Gordon Bennet! Those dash clocks look just like Dame Ednas Glasses

Of those two buy the £11,995 one... it's cheaper and has done half the mileage...

That said, apart from mileage and number plate they are identical, both under powered and both wwd The Energy bit might simply be stop/start

Looking at that engine bay, a 15 year old Omega would be cheaper to service... quicker and more comfortable too

Going to stockpot tomorrow to look at the one you suggested. I think you are right about stop/start
Servicing is 20000 miles or two years and how hard can it be to change a couple of filters and the oil.

I bought swmbo a Megane convertible in 2012, she didn't like it, fortunately I was lucky enough to sell it privately for what I paid for it, we then went out and bought our current Omega for her. That's juts reminded me, had all the belts done, so not actually due till next year, still weaps oil and water................

[The Sheriff]

Bah....what a waste of time. Had a conversation with wifey last night and it turns out she was only having a small diesel burner under duress. What she says she really wants is a petrol engined car with a little bit of poke and all the toys. You know, a bit like she already has.
Turns out I was trying to please her by getting her a newer car, and she was trying to please me by having something she didn't really want. Marriage, eh?
So, to those of you who said we should just get her car serviced and stop bloody messing about....well.....yes.
We are certainly not going to buy a newer version of what she already has, because the megane is fine and we would be spending thousands just to change the middle two numbers on her registration plate.

V6 Omega it is then

I wondered how long it would take for realisation to dawn  .

90bhp ≠  getaway from roundabouts quickly.

Still it only took 5 pages and around a week. Not bad!

Dear old Steve is quite elderly so it takes some considerable time for the blindingly obvious to sink in.

A dreary old budget derv drinker is not befitting of Lady STMO's elevated status as a senior headmistress.

[chrisgixer]

Aye? What's going on? Stmo/common sense/listening to advice/not fishing money up the wall for the sake of it...?


NO WAY!   ...although, he still didn't listen us lot, did he.


Anyway. Congratulations Steve, saved yourself a fortune there.
