Default Quick valuation on this guys,cat d 57 plate,5000 mile Ka.

57 Ka,5000 genuine miles,was bumped front and rear,been repaired but still needs a bit of finishing which is no major.

Car obviously is mint inside,the repairs look good and straight but I know it's been done with pattern parts although its all straight and it really needs a good buff and polish but it would look spot on then.

eBay is no guide admittedly but straight ones are anything from £2995-£4500 obviously this is lower due to cat d but offset a bit with the mileage.

Anyone in the trade or knowledgeable's advice would be great,I'm totally out of touch with newer cars hence the post.

I just want to know if it's worth my while buying it,finishing or selling as is or not bother at all

There's no tax/Mot but i can't see it failing on much,it's been stored inside.

Thanks in advance.

My boss has been trying to sell an 07 plate Ka style in black.
10k miles cat d.
Been mended for ages now, he has run it about 8 months as a daily.
Been shouting £1500 and can't sell it..
I thought it sounded a cheap car and was toying with buying it as a winter hack, had a look on eBay and there were several at that money..

I'm not sure of the year that they changed over, is this one of the new Ford KA's that you're looking at??

...if so, then I'd be careful, my friends wife had one from new and had loads of problems with it. Plus the handling was shite compared to the old KA's go-kart style drive.


Cheers,

Nae grant,old buzzard shaped ones,their cracking cars and this could be one to keep but the valuation above is concerning,it would owe me about that finished.
Lots to consider.
