WHAT A PICKLE!! ! ! ! !
« on: 20 May 2010, 00:03:47 »
Hi,

Im in two minds whether I should sell my Omega and need some serious advice.  I love omega's but cant afford to run it to work n back everyday  :-[

WHAT DO I DO???? its a lovely car, with usual extras as its a 2000 (W) 2.5v6 CD auto -bodywork in excellent condition with long MOT and low miles (102K) with lots of history! ! !

it has just had both its Cats replaced and drives like new!


I'm going to let it go for £850 (even tho it cost me a lot more less than a month ago ) but I would much rather it go to someone on here as I know how helpful everyone is!

im based in Notts, if you want a honest INDIPENDANT  opinion ask "the Baron" he's actually driven it! lol

any tips on selling it would be appreciated!


cheers!

Careful this isn't construed as a for sale thread.

The simple answer, if you love the car, is LPG it  :y

Of course it is, if it wasnt there would be no need for a price.  ::)

Selling tips.

Clean it thouroughly inside and out, then stand back and admire it, call your self names then go and price up fitting LPG.

If you still decide it's for sale then do a short but decriptive ad of all the things to stop all the queations being asked.  Add £100 on more than you want as you will allways be knocked down, or go straight in at £995 on autotrader with good pictures.  Or being the cheeky sod that you are cross your fingers and hope that someone on here is interested before Admin call you a cheeky bugger and delete this thread.  :y :y

in all honesty - the price is there only for peeps here.  I would never let that go outside of here for that little >:(

nevertheless, I appreciate your advice and indeed can now fully understand that my thread is potentially in breech. BUT I WILL SAY. . .

I am generally hoping someone here will say, hey have you "changed this" or "replaced that", "try this" or "try that"  as a tried n tested method of improving consumption! ! !

Yeh I know they are a little heavy on fuel generally but im currently doing 60 odd miles daily in stop start, crawl etc etc  :'( :'( and quiet frankly its killing me! :-/ :-/

That might have been the case had you have left it at just posting in this thread, but now it seems obvious that you are blatently breaking the forum rules to sell your car.

Not impressed. :-/

Hi Mr B - Thank you once again! Yes - It is very quiet now and certainly smoother and better moving off but STILL heavy on consumpion esp around my work n back trip :o Anything else you can advise?? LOVE TO HEAR MORE FROM YOU PAL! :-?  btw - is a overall average fuel consuption of 21MPG reasonable???  Im still comparing it with me previous one which was a 2.2 :o

Mr Skruntie -As surely you will accept - I have - at the very first instance and indeed oportunity - expressed my regret in this matter.  Even prior to your message (see the writing in red) Furthermore, I have identified the potential breech.  But do note that I am not here to impress you or anybody for that matter - I am merely here to learn and socialise with the many wonderful, friendly and helpful people that share a passion for Omega's - JUST LIKE ME.  I have already requested Admin to use their discretion and decide upon this thread.

In all fairness I didnt have a problem with this thread (100% honest) but what you said in the red writing was after you had posted in 2 more different threads.  I really have no interest in dragging this out, but no matter who says what to me, I did not make the rules, and yes I have said what I have said, I was sympathetic as I read the 1st (This one) then realised you were just trying to sell it.  ( let the comments start - am happy to start a new thread for you all to have a go at me)

dear friend,  I really do not wish to engage in a posting war with you however, this is a baseless alligation - I responded in red as soon as James, very kindly brought the potential breech to my attention.  please do not make assumptions.

secondly, with regard to the othe postings - I have removed them straight away and will even remove this one as soon as you have had your last say.  because I do not want you to feel that I am avoiding you.  yes I am new here, have a lot of learning to do and perhaps made a mistake however, I certainly appreciated James's approach a whole lot better - to put it simply.

To the Others: I sincerely apologise. Never realised the potential probs that I am causing.  thank you for your consideration.

IMHO this is an advice thread, not a sales thread.

Please can we all be a bit more welcoming.

If you have a problem, use the alert mod button, thats what its there for  :y

I agree, some people so put up proper adverts in the wrong place, being clearly wrong, to me this isnt one.
