as title, I have been offered a mk 3 fiesta, 66,000 genuine miles from new, one family owned 3 door with fsh 12 month mot and tax until jan next year, it has a small amount of rust on the rear arch's but not on the filler cap, colour is red. its a 1.1 billy basic spec, inside is as new.
think im hoing to buy,
whats it worth??

 

scrap value

 

as above, next to nothing - slightly better than scrap value as it has long mot & tax

 

definitely not a lot and on a N plate will be a mk3.5 fiesta

 

Could be either shape on an N

 

its mk3 not 3.5, thinking about buying and putting to one side as its so straight,

 

It is a mk3.5 if it is an N plate. Good base for a nice spec car if you spend cash on it. £200 at most. Even these are getting rare now though.

 

Does anyone have a pic of a 3.5 because it looks like a mk3 to me, what's the differance, I thought it was the lights?

 

Mk3.5 has no swage line in the boot, different floor pan, and the later mk4/5 type mirrors. And usually black dashboard etc.

 

Mk3 fiesta



Mk3.5



Mk3.5s have a fuel flap. Mk3s have a fuel cap!!

And all that Adam31 said too^^

 

Ha ha!how did I forgot the fuel flap...lol

 

Lol i know!!

Saying that, my example of a mk3.5 was no use, as its 1994 and has a mk3 bootlid!! Lol

Here is a mk3.5 bootlid



Ps. The mallard car i show you has an early bootlid and wiper arm. Mk3.5s have a more modern wiper arm, found on mk4 and mk5 fiestas too

 

thanks for the help, I will have a check. it was tight in a garage so couldn't see properly, are we thinking £200 max, only really considering it really to put to one side for a few years as its a tidy example, would prefer a mk3 tho really

 

just check the petrol cap as said above lol mk3.5's started from a L plate(mass production,there might be some k plates out there) so it will be 3.5

 

3.5 had clear indicators, PATS keys and LED in the clock, injection on all models except Diesel (CFi/single point injection if not multipoint)

seat bases were bolted to the floor different and wheel bearing sizes were larger on the front

oval wing repeaters, no boot swage line and slim bump strips on the side.
choice of 155 70 13 or 165 6513 tyres on budget cars.

door latches were different by anti theft guards, remove the locks and they were 8 sided rather than 4, doors identifiable by 2 bolts at the top rather than the bottom of the latch

most differences from memory

oh and airbags!

 

loads of detail, must be a 3.5 then, I noticed the airbag!!
