But would you get the same specifications, condition and mileage ?
Remember, most toys on Beemers are optional extras.

Yes, £8k is a lot for a Mig...but only because we know different !
Print off Lee's advert and ask non-OOF Mig owners for their opinion.

But its not some special knowledge we have mate, anyone can check prices for comparable models in Autotrader......?

Anyway, if he has sold it good luck to him, but it just goes to show what idiots there are about.......

By the way I am selling a 1995 Astra for just £6000 if anyone is as stupid as this guys customers.......!!!!

Without wanting to get flamed for pointing out the obvious, new Omega Elite's in 2003 were £31K plus options. As per our advert when we say the car is the best in the UK we don't say that lightly!! The car has never seen a bodyshop and does not have a single pin dent, it's just so good that you would have to see it to beleive it, and so the car is on par in terms of condition with a 2 year old car, in EVERY aspect, so then the £8K price tag is not silly and people interested in the car do not need to be called idiots etc, because they all have access to ebay/autotrader etc, they know what they're looking at. This is a stand-out car, so people please accept it's probably a league or two up from everything else out-there...

Without giving too much away this car was a Mercedes-Benz Diret
part-ex vehicle and was bought by us 3 or 4 times over the book price, it takes a lot of bottle to do that but we knew what we were buying so people please be rest assured that this car owes us a LOT more tha £2K or £3K or £4K or £5K!!, some people may be surprised to read that but it's the truth. This is why when people start quoting us book prices  and telling us to stop taking drugs blah blah it insults our intelligence because WE KNOW it's way over any book price!! and we paid way over any book price!!  

As a dealer I can tell you when you have a "special" example of a desirable spec car the book goes right out of the window!! and that's what happened here both when we bought the car and when we sold the car

If that is/was your opinion why only a 3 month warranty :-? :-?

[Lee 7Star]

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. :-/ :-/

No mate, car is definately sold, please accept that, everything is as it seems there's no mystery here anyway thanks for adding something postive to the thread...

Not sure if you agree or disagree with my post....   :-/

In essence, a car is worth whatever someone wants to pay, be they a dealer or a private individual.

Whether they take a hit on purchase or sale, thats up to them....

As to one car being better than another - I know what my car is and what it cost me.  To compare it with yours what you list yours at, I most certainly got a good deal.

In another aspect, I paid more for my example than would probably be considered as reasonable on here.  That said, that puts your car on a very high pedestal.  I doubt, knowing what I have (which is a very similar spec and condition) that yours would be worth much more so thus I trim my comments accordingly........

The 3 month warranty thing is just a standard text thing, if someone wanted upto a 12 month warranty with this car no problem, it's normal for us to give a 12 month warranty on cars over £5K anyway...

  [/quote] I agree with your posts, I just quoted them to catch the all the relevant topics If your car is similar to our's in condition/spec and you got it at reasonable cost then you should be well pleased because nice one's are getting very hard to get hold off, and you'd probably have to pay more for one today...

So Lee,you paid the previous owner more than £5000 for his 03 plate miggy.
Hmmmm ,This is really a case of "believe it if you want ",or not.

[Martin_1962]

I can understand this - if it is as good as it is said, and fully loaded Elites are not the most common model.

And you want a big estate with lots of toys, and you are prepared to buy an excellent condition vehicle.

I don't see many Omega estates around, and they tend to hold their value better.

Lee gambled and it paid off, why begrudge him, why moan about the price the buyer paid.

Change the badge to a different brand and that car would be cheap.

Precisely. You can get bargains but it can take a long time to find the car you want at the price you want (I know Hotel21 was looking for a while...). In the end you might well have to compromise in some respect. You might end up having to accept a car that needs work, for example. If you can afford to do away with that hassle it might make sense (to you) to pay a little more to drive it off a dealer's forecourt and part-ex your previous car.

I can understand buyers who don't want to mess about dealing with private sellers, and who don't want to mess about with private buyers when it comes to getting rid of their previous car. You will come across every kind of crook and time waster in the business with just a simple ad in Autotrader.

I for one can't be arsed with that game any more. I generally keep cars for 7 or 8 years so what's a few extra quid on the price when you set it off against the running costs over that period?

That car is likely to cost at least 18p a mile on fuel at today's prices. at 12K miles a year that's over 17K on fuel over an 8 year ownership period for a start.

I think that perhaps Lee is having a bit of fun with us here at OOF.
I have owned one or two ....................special or exceptional cars in my life..........................the dealers remarks /comments go something like this.

1.....It,s not a popular colour.................we'll have trouble selling it.
2........People don't want automatics....we could get stuck with this one.
3.....Too heavy on petrol .....we'll be lucky to shift it.
4......Ladies don't like the interior in that colour.
5..........Not worth anything these motors....put it through auction mate
6.......We don't PX cars over 5 years old ...........as they are worthless.

And the list could go on.

I have NEVER EVER.......had a dealer say to me ...................oh...yes Sir.......your car is so special .......so exceptional......that I will pay you FOUR TIMES......book price.

So come on Lee.............it looks like a nice Omega......but it's not made of gold......I doubt it will be the last we see of this particular Omega.

No, only came on the site after being told we were the laughing stock on the forum and some abusive emails as discussed earlier on... definately not having any fun with the OOF, far from it anyway I think it's time to bring this thread to an end as enough has been said so time to move on

[webby23]

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 !!!!
