Thats just shit.

£720 and its still not met its reserve ridiculous, especially since whats hes got there is a perfectly good wagon worth in orginal guise about £800(ish) correct me if I'm being a mug! and destroyed it with the aid of the local halfords!

Would a standard Omega make £800? I'd have thought an Omega would be one of the least desirable cars you could buy at the moment.

£800? There is (or was) one in a nearby dealers for £2500 recently. I hope it hasn't gone, I just like to laugh everytime I drive past :lol: That eBay one is just appalling. It's almost like he was challenged to find the worse colour, the absolute spackiest bodykit EVER, some comedy 'Range Rover bling' wheels and an ironing board for the boot then just glue it all together.

TBH it looks like he's seen a Monaro VXR8 in the standard bright attention-seeking colours and thought "Hmmm, that looks a bit like my Omega".Sadly, that neither looks nor will drive like a Monaro. It looks like a smurf poo.

The blue Ebay one was up for £2100 on Gumtree, although open to 'sensible offers'..http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/42748469.html

GR8 4 RINGING.

When I purchased the car I was told that it used to belong to Carol Smillie.

And no seat sniffers- she may never have actually been in the car.

O RLY and there was me thinking it would smell nice :roll::roll:

Ha, still for sale is it? Just did a search, it was posted before last september at 5,000 quid, and at the end of july. I still quite like the styling...

£4500 for this Sierra GLS V6 seems a bit steep, Wasn't so long ago you could still get one for £500!.

Neither of those are hugely overpriced IMO. Compare the XG30 with a '52' plate Focus and it's looking better value. The Clio has only done 38k, so feasably has another 60k in it before it grenades the HG and kills the engine, which if you do a miserable amount of miles too makes it not a bad buy. A good case for buying the best you can.

Yeah, you can get a Clio for £250 but it'll have a brush-painted wing, a mullered door lock from a theft attempt, rusty arches and won't have been serviced since it left PDI.That's quite a good price, really.

There's quite alot of random rootes bits that make daft money due to being NLA, e.g. Super Minx hubcabs make fricking loads...

OK, I concede on the XG30 (although you'd still lose a grand on it if you wanted to re-sell). However, the Clio is 17 years, is a Renault and Automatic (the latter two usually spell trouble on thier own). I'm still not convinced :?

I agree on the Clio. It has been polished to within an inch of its life and still doesn't look that great, and it's got pound shop wheeltrims.It's a £300 shitter that's been tidied up a bit. The mileage is totally irrelevant, 40k of town miles is worse than 120k of long journeys.

Sweet Mary Jane.I don't give a fuck if it's got solid gold chassis rails.Mental.

I doubt it cost £75k to build, but as an example my 1300 Sport is getting 300 odd hours of restoration. How much does the average bodyshop charge? £30 an hour? There's £9k if you get the work done professionally in the UK. Plus parts.Dry sumped 200 bhp Pinto - give him the benefit of the doubt - £3k with pumps, carbs, etc. Aeroquip hoses etc £300, Suspension £1000, Atlas LSD axle £800, Quaife box £800, Minilites £600, roll cage £500 or so, brakes £500. Yada yada yada. It all adds up.I reckon that cost £25k to build. £45k is taking the piss somewhat.
never ceases to amaze me how some sellers on ebay are incapable of grasping of the idea of basic economics - £45k ffs

Incredible. And sad that someone else's pride and joy will end up wearing the VIN tags and plates off that. I would have thought eBay would have pulled that rather than congratulating the bloke. They will pull listings for tags & V5's usually, and no-one is actually going to be interested in the physical remains of that.... :evil:

so the moral of the story is, if you want a cheap two door escort you have to get a written off, mouldy one.
