No one wants it :(
01. Apr 2010 at 12:21

Been visiting numerous car dealers around south wales the last 2 weeks as sadly i think its time the Omega went as the cost of running it is too much Cry

been trying to get my hands on a diesel Mondeo, but everytime i find one i get the same response from the dealer "ohhh you want to part ex that omega?..nah mate, dont want it, would never get rid of it", best offer ive had was £800 against a £7000 mondeo, which i cant afford. Getting fed up now, feels like i'll either have to take a really low part ex deal or stick with the Omega until i save up a decent amount of cash ( not easy when it costs £70+ to fill it up each time lol ) i was hoping to get between £1500-£2000 for the Omega but maybe im dreaming! Roll Eyes

lol

eBay def worth a shot... I've had good luck with the last three cars I sold there - make sure you post up loads of pics and info Thumbs Up!

Last one I sold my wife's old Fiat on there, and got £400 more than the dealer offered px - guy came all the way from Preston for it!

I wouldn't care if it cost me £500 a week to run it Tunnie, it pretty much all comes back when the tax returns are filed Wink

Err yes! When they offered me full time, which comes with 33 days leave, which with my shift structure means 90 days off work, 33 x my daily rate + free sky tv, broadband calls, heath care, sick leave and such, works out more at end of the day

Also better security (in the banks eyes) for long term for mortgage applications
