Hmm seller in disguise maybe?

You asked for an opinion on the car, the opinion was that it was not worth the asking price as there are plenty of Omegas out there that are either?

1) Similar condition/spec but less money

2) Better condition/spec for similar money.

If you didn't like the comments from people who really know this model of car and its value, then you should not have asked for it in the first place  :y

Bizarre-what's the point of asking, then  :-/

Granted, some responses were a bit sharp, but in the end they gave the advice he asked for.

Oh, well-if he wants to buy it, it's up to him  ;)
A client just picked up a tidy silver 86k 2000 GLS for £750-needs an exhaust and only short MOT but puts it into context  :y

Ahem.  http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1256662921/0#0
hey guys....
changed my diff over today with one from a highly recommended vauxhall breaker and was told it was a good one....

nice... :oi thought this was a forum of omega lovers.......
my father has afacelift on a V plate so that is older than this one.

and what is a bit of paint.......i went and saw this car about an hour ago and it really is in good condition (bar the bumpers need painting) and runs as smooth and as quiet as you like.....

the seller is a honest bloke too from what i saw tonight, and i am contemplating getting the car and getting the bumpers painted...

Don't think so.

I think it was the seller too, trying to get extra people to look at it. Wonder if he liked my shed comment?  ::)

He asked for our advice, we gave it, did not like it? Why bother in the first place.

If that had been in the gallary, i would not make such harsh comments, but to a potential buyer, who is maybe new to the Omega, they need to know there are MUCH better examples out there.

Looking at this, Mark already owns the car in the listing which he asks about in this thread, with exactly the same faults he has asked advice for himself on here-and which have not been resolved.  It appears to have been posted to improve publicity, but backfired.

He has said he is terminating his account....surprised moderators did not beat him to it

Is there a better explanation for this?  Or did it just backfire?
Am I just a cynic?
