does £17.750 sound ok\fair for a 1 owner, 4100Miles 53 Plate Focus RS

The end is nigh for the Civic It shall be mostly appearing in this weeks autotrader

 

IMO thats a really good price

 

Fair price IMHO Kev

 

what's up with the civic?

Have you looked on Auto Trader(dumb question),think there's one not far from me with lower price,similar miles(north east area).

Here's one,miles a bit higher tho...

 

Sounds a good price mate, although I paid less for mine a year ago!!

The prices have dropped a couple of £k over the last couple of months so it may be worth scanning the Auto Trader etc to make sure it's a good price. One owner + 4.1k miles would be a great buy though if you can get it for the bottom end of £17k

 

There's one local to me. £18,500 (forecourt price). Don't know the mileage

 

i havent found less miles for the pounds yet been scouting the trader and its close and easy was up for alot more aswell

 

Snap it up then mate. Go round with the readies + offer £17k as they have dropped recently. If it's been up for sale for a while then you stand a good chance!

 

This could have been owned for £16400.00, the only thing the owner could fault it on was a spec of rust on the exhaust

It sounds like a decent price considering the mileage and the fact it's only had one owner.

I have seen cars with less than 30K up for around £15000 though!

 

they wont drop and there not in a hurry to sell and there prepeared to keep it till i sell my car

 

Fair do's but I would expect to have a bit of a deal with them, mine was up for £19k and I got it for £17.5k, back when they were still making £20k+

As M7 said, you can get them alot cheaper now, albeit with a few miles on the clock. The fact that they are willing to wait for you to shift your car though makes it very tempting, it's a pain in the arse missing a purchase as you've still got to sell yours, or selling your car to not find a replacement!

 

well just to give you an idea, my mate has one on www.just-sports.org with 25,000 miles for £16.995

 

it was up for 18.5k so i kinda haggled and 4.1k is fecking low considering i do 2.5k a year should keep it ultra low and help keep value I dont want lots of miles or even a few miles i want nearly new

also this one is tempting but v cheap almost 2 cheap and i guess the warrenty is shot with those mods

Both sound good mate + could be used as bargaining power to get another £500 off the one near you!! To be fair the nearest one sounds the easiest option The modded one would be cool + all the listed mods are a must imo, mine's been back for numerous warranty upgrades/issues with my mods on, depends on dealer. Oh, and cool plate, my Dad's is RS03 BAD!

 

i shook allready on price as they said they would wait doh mods wise im sure in time it ill get zorst bluefin and filter but quite happy to buy a standard one and add to it when i get bored

 

Cheapest one on the trader at the moment.

problem with me is if i sell my car 130 miles is a long walk and alot of hassle and im a lazy busy bastid

 

Sounds good mate, having one right near you, that you've seen and know is a good un + is waiting, is worth the extra money to save alot of hastle anyhow!

 

I blame the bedford track day for my NEED

 

Depends when you live, 130 miles from me might be your next door neighbour!

RS53 RAD is a one owner from new car BUT........

It has done 7200 miles, not 5k thats stated in the ad

Had a bad cosmetic stonechip repair to the bonnet and A Pillar

Strong smell of cigarette smoke on the inside with a cigarette burn to the roof lining..

Still though a cheapish car for the money that has been spent

 

I was trying to find Planet V-Tec on my map!

 

Nice!!!

 

PMSL Your not seen it sign posted on the A12

 

What are you looking for your car, Kev?
My dad has bought one and after a drive, I must say, I'm tempted by one

 

I will PM you as im not aloud to advertise

 

Check out the feedback

 

do you think the price will drop on the rs when the new st focus comes out £19 for a new car, new shape ect. I know it hasent got rs on the back but it will probley be a better car than the rs ?
I been thinking about swapping the misses 4x4 saff for a rs focus but i wounder what going to happen to the price of them and do i get a st instead ?

 

Personally I don't at all, won't be as exclusive + as limmited in production as the RS.

 

i used to worry about price but like Nath says ST just isnt gonna be as raw and as limited like the rs

 

Jesus, wish I could get away with 2.5K a year. Total mileage for me and the wife usually hits 25K for two cars Note to self: Move closer to work

 

or get the train

take it my cars no good to you would you be interested @ 11.2k
