Due to the arrival of my new car in the next month or so, it's time to sell my Focus. It's an '04' 2004, has covered 60,400 miles (but will rise as it's in daily use, hence the 61k in the title), has good service history with receipts, handbooks, spare key, HPI clear and has an MOT until May 2014 (with no advisories). Tax runs until 31st of this month, and I'm based in Gloucestershire.











Exterior

I'd say the cars bodywork is in good condition, and hopefully the pictures back-up how straight it is. There is the odd ding, scuff and a few light scratches here and there, but there's no major damage, aside from a recently acquired small chip on the windscreen. The alloys were refurbished just before I bought the car, and they're immaculate. The only modification is the darker rear lights, which set it off nicely.

Interior

Again, the interior is in very good condition. The seats are immaculate with no notable marks at all, and the electric base portion, manual lumbar adjustment etc. all work well. The 6 CD changer/radio with stalk control all work, as do the electric windows, electric mirrors, etc. The air-con works well and gets nice and cold, no leaks into the footwell or anything.





Mechanical

The car has been well cared for, and this is obvious through the service history. It's been serviced every single year since 2010, with all invoices/paperwork to back this up, and with 4 stamps in the book from Ford dealers prior to this (6 stamps in total, with the other services backed up by the paperwork from the same local Ford garage). It's last service was in May this year, with it using no oil at all since, and it still looking fairly clean. There's no slip in the clutch, and all the gears engage as smoothly as you can exspect for the fairly industrial 6 speed fitted to the ST170! Unfortunately, part of the pricing is due to a recently illuminated engine light, which is giving off a code for a faulty lambda sensor. As it only came on recently, after my decision to buy a new car, I'm kind of hesitant to go spending money on it, so obviously the price takes this into account. On the plus side, I recently had a heatshield rattle sorted, it has fairly new tyres all round and good pads and discs all round (replaced not too long ago). I should also add that it had a new thermostat and thermostat housing fitted when I bought the car as part of the deal, but there's no paperwork to back that up.



Price: £1700 (ono, no swaps).

As I hope I've put across, this is a good, straight car with low mileage. The price is down to having ordered a new car, and of course the EML being on, as well as taking into account all the small cosmetic things. I've priced it just above what I've been offered PX, and I'd rather someone from here take it on rather than it go through auction, as I feel it deserves to carry on being cared for! If you have any more questions drop me a PM on here and we can have a chat, I'm very open to questions and peoples interest.

 

Just a quick note to say that the delivery of my new car has been pushed back to early next month, so if I get a reasonable offer I'll happily put 6 months tax on for you.
