Any body who is a avid reader on this forum may rember me last week asking quistions and advise on a 3.0 elite that i was thinking of buying of ebay? well i took the plunge and was the winning bidder on said omega. I was fully prepared to spend quite a bit of cash to get it up to srcatch and was not expecting a mint example. but after a winning bid was placed at £770 i thought i might have done ok?......what happend next was totally unexpected and totally out of my control.  

On contacting the seller the first thing i was told was that the omega would be avalable for collection only from leeds city center.  (alarm bells ringing now)

so having refused to collect from anywhere other than the adress on the v5 and loads of phone calls. it imerged that this private seller was in actual fact a dealer and not a good dealer at that. who thought that he could put anything in his advert and that if i bidded i would have to pay.
 
So obviously i refused to continue with the transaction through fear of buying a stolen,dodgey car?

so far over the weekend i have had 34 phone calls from this so called man threating death and beatings to me and my famly. he even told my 4 year old that he is going to rip her f*!**ng head off?

so the police were contacted and this man has been arested and charged with threating behaveour...

would hate anybody to go through what me and my famly has been through in the last 72hrs. just be carefull and ask all the right quistions. i was so caught up in the mechanecal side of things i just did not think to ask the most basic of quistions.

1) can i collect the car from the adress on the v5

2) are you a private seller or trader

3) is your name on the v5 and could you provide proof of that

so am gona be extra carfull now but it hasnt turned me of the fact that i whant a omega?     so anybody with a decent 3.0 elite or mv6 msg me  (just be gentle)

My God that's awful.
Hope you and your family are OK, that is a terrible situation.

As far as checking the car, I know what you mean, I bought my Omega from a reputable dealer but I still went through all the HPi checking for fear of missing something obvious on the car.

[Dazzler]

I am truly sorry to hear this and i feel for you and your family. I hope the Police do more than just tell him off, this behavoir is just not on. Be safe.

thanks to you both. just gota keep hunting for the right one. cheers

I think, as we are all (except me) Omega fans, it may be in the forum's interest to name this ebay member so we can all steer clear.

Hope your little girl is OK! Jeez, what a nasty twisted git this must be. A 4 year old girl threatened?

A bit of research done..... Would this be the seller who has now relisted the car with tthe wording 'Relisted due to dreaming Idiot?' If so, you can now sue him for libel as he has defamed your good name in a public place in writing. Take him to the cleaners.

[Baron Von Spongebob]

You made all the right decisions and actions on the outcome of this Omega you bid on..Its a shame you had to go through this when all you want is a honest transaction and a decent car...Better luck next time it takes the minority to spoil things..

Glad everyone is OK..

[Crazydad]

I cant believe this scum would droop so low as to scare a 4 year old girl,

This sort of thing just cannot be accepted  

This sort of behavior should be seriously  punished  

Send the boys around to sort him out

I hope you and your Family are ok now

 >:(I've had to "compose myself" before replying. I could laugh off the bad dealing & abuse but what he said to your 4yr old is inexcusable, all legallities & moral rules go out the window.
    At that point i'd have apologized, arranged to meet & buy the car & gone with a vanload.
     I know that's not really the right way, two wrongs, fire & fire, etc. You kept your cool which in all honesty makes you a better man than me & there's repercussions to consider so you did the right thing.
     I hope you find a more suitable way of dealing with this retard.
            Regards to you & your family. Cheers, Guy.
