Looks like the car has been sold

Yes and I kid you not, I have someone on standby to buy the Elite at full asking price over the phone without even viewing the car if the current deal falls through, that has even shocked me!! It proves to me beyond doubt that exceptional Elite's are VERY sought after!!

I have a feeling that this "sold" miggy will be for sale again very shortly.
It beggars belief that someone is willing to pay £8000 for a 03 plate miggy.
Perhaps everything here is not quite as it seems. :-/ :-/

I have seen Elites with similar mileage and similar condition and spec go for less than half what this geezer wants for this car.

if there are idiots out there who cant be bothered to check REAL prices and are happy to pay well over the odds (which this car is) then like already said, there is one born every minute.

I bet Lee wasnt saying how fabulous this car was when he was negotiating buying it........Wonder how much he paid for it?

Come on Lee, spill the beans.........!!!!

 

Oh yes, Lee's gonna happily tell us that !  

[webby23]

I know......maybe not so have deleted that request......would love to know though !!!

If he paid more than £3000 for it I would be very surprised, if he paid less than £3000 for it isnt then asking £7995 more than a bit cheeky.......?

Its business.

Moreso, its the sellers business, not ours.

Wouldn't we all !
Can't really call it cheeky.
At the end of the day, if the asking price was £10k and someone bought it, there's no gun to their head, (Lee, is there something you're not revealing about your sales pitch ?), and if the buyer is happy then it's a fair transaction all round.
It's a bit unfair for us to have a go at someone paying "X" amount for a Mig. If that is the car they want and all they have to go on is other dealer prices, then just under £8k for a low mileage mint Elite isn't that extortionate. If the buyer is happy, then that's the end of it.

Remember, many on here live and breath Omegas. Had them for years, worked on them, bought and sold them, attend auctions just to look, know the best prices for parts, know 20 minute shortcuts that a dealer would charge £100+ to do, and are only too ready to share, help and advise.
Others less fortunate only know forecourt prices, genuine parts...and Halfrauds for everything else.
  
We can just be thankful we have the OOF

Wish I had found oof earlier, our current Mig would be a V6 and I would not have sold our old one for £150.00  Aug 07

we paid 2k for our 3.0 Elite Facelift, colour sat nav, bose, cream leather, full service history, recent belt and autobox fluid change. only thing its missing from 3.2 version listed on ebay is the parking sensors but on Estates who needs them.

Ours had 70k miles on too.

Sorry, anyone paying 8k for that example is a fool!

No. They just don't know any different !  
Cars are bought from dealers. Servicing is done by garages (some folk only know Main Stealers ).  Many folk just about know how to re-fuel.

I just don't understand it, Omegas are great cars, but if i had 8k to spend and was after an Estate, i would be looking at BMW 530d Estates, they will hold their value much better, pay 8k for that Omega now, 2 years and 50k miles later it will be worth less than 1k!

[webby23]

Anybody that paid £7995 for a car that is worth less than half that amount (IF it is sold) is a fool, and deserves to be ripped off........

True but no doubt there's a BMW forum much like this who's members would pay only 5K for a BMW you'd pay 8K for.... Knowledge is power and all that!

Not neccessarily a fool, just mis-informed....

As said earlier....

Perhaps lacking in facts that could save them cash, but not by default, a fool....
