You guys sticking up for the motor trade either have a vested interest or are being naive.
I would like to see omega prices strengthen but at the same time i definitely do not want to see someone having their trousers taken down.
I have experience of the motor trade,its a simple task to justify a price tag,this forum is about sharing experience and pitfalls with the omega and anyone selling theirs ought to expect to put prospective customers minds at ease. Yes buyer beware but an omega for sale on this forum should be able to run the gauntlet.

You've not been around long enough to know that it's not just the traders that get their cars slated
Many others have also had this experience

And I am sure they would do that. However a number of the people who were commenting had no intention of buying and just wanted to make comment on the price.

As Pete says it happens on a lot of the for sale adverts and not just ones from the traders.

Well said and I also add that no other forum I frequent says you cant comment on cars for sale.....

They get their ads on here for free (like we all do) so why shouldnt people be allowed to share opinions......

I also note that on none of the threads in mind here has ANYBODY commented how competitively priced the vehicles are, so I think our points are totally valid.....

 

[Mr Skrunts]

I have been involved in the trade in the past, but the simple rply is this.

A trader offers a car at a price, if a seller wants it he buys it, haggles it or walks away from it.

Simple as.

I want a low mileage Elite Auto Estate 03 or later with 50k on the clock or less, in Silver or nocerno blue, oh and colour sat nav, leather and all the toys.

Motortrade or not, I aint gonna get that for sub £1000 unless I see someone coming with a white stick and trip him up with it and then kick him whilst he's down.

Yes both side's have to be realistic, but come on, .......   if it's too exspensive then it wont sell.  end off.

I agree Skruntie, but I resent being told I am not allowed to comment, I think that is ridiculous and beyond draconian

I think it can be difficult sometimes to come across positively yet give accurate feedback. The black 3.2 I've just sold went for £1800, it was advertised at £1995 publically, and within four days it was sold once it had been advertised on other places than OOF. I know the value of the vehicles I sell, and hope to most they do represent good value.
I always welcome feedback, but as of yet I don't think in any of my for sale threads I've had any negative comments.
I don't know what difference there is between Simon's sales and mine?

I dont think it's a case of not to comment.

I think it's at times the way in which people  make a comment.  Making comment is no  big deal, it's the way the whole thread then deteriorates with a negative trend.  Then it becomes 2 sided and then gets out of control.

I cant (Myself) see the point in "Slating" a car for sale or the buyer for trying to sell.  As often said, it will sell or it wont.  Look at the scorpio from that mag that was for sale the other week, I would'nt give £100 for it, but then a ford fan might not give a tenner for a mint Elite.

The sale or nosale will solve the arguement.  same arguement can be put to most things in life.  But at the end of the day, thats what general discussion is for, and hence this thread in now here.  By all means start them in here, but not the sales thread.  Think about it.

Market knowledge and price are both in your favour Josh, and you do more on here than just use it as a free advertising outlet......

If his cars are overpriced for what they are, in some peoples opinion, why arent we allowed to comment so.......??

We (I am not the only person commenting) have been asked by the seller not to comment on his thread......

 

[Mr Skrunts]

Ah, right, so now you are making a silent protest by not commenting.

Don't worry mate I won't say a word....

Not allowed to give opinions on here it would seem
 :-/
 

Lol, I give in.
