What do you think a Focus RS with one lady owner, 21k miles FSH, couple of shiny bits and tinted windows etc is worth?

A fiend of mine is selling hers but didn't get much interest at £16k, she was offered £14k by a dealer who 'wanted it for his own car' but I think that's far too low. What's the going rate for a good one?

Cheers,
Iain

 

if not much intrest at £16k then at £14k to sell won't be too bad.

think its cheap though,but, if no one is biting at £16k then what do you do if you want to sell.



Dave.

 

Mate picked up a near mint, standard 03 car with 27k, for £15.5k

From Ford too, they had it up at 18k mind.

He was very fussy and looked around, really didnt think he'd get a good one under 16k.

 

Can't beleive i'm hearing figure's of 14-16k banded around, I thought the bloody things were still up around the 20k+ mark!

 

There still some jokers asking £18k for these (local ford dealer has one at this price ) but there's some very good, low mile examples for £15.5K - £16k.

Im still waiting for the right one to come along at the right price and its Goodbye ST170 lol

 

I've seen em for over 21k up till now FFS!

What were they new then? Couldn't have been much more than that!

 

think they were about £21-22 new iirc.

thing is,people want low low milage cars for low money,cannot blame them though.



Dave.

 

No mate, very true. But what you can blame them for is buying the bloody thing and not expecting a Brand NEW car to depreciate in value!

People want to sell them for what they paid for em don't they! ROFL

 

Think i'll be getting one as soon as the Boxster is sold. Seen a few around from £14-18k deopending on mileage etc. looking for as low miles as poss and as new as poss!

 

lol, that goes for everyone who has bought a car.

If i was after a new car then i would want it as low milage as i can,as would anyone else. and cheap as poss.

All depends on how fast the seller wants to sell it,ok at a loss maybe but at least its gone.



Dave.

 

There's nothing more frustrating than trying to sell a fookin car IMO! lol

Whats happening on the Cossie front now then Dave? Did you have some sort of trackday cover?

I remember looking at your thread in the pic gallery and talking to you about the car only weeks before Combe!

Glad your ok dude!

Perhaps you could get a Focus RS!? lol

 

I need a proper RS.

Just waiting a bit till next year then see what happens.

Still got the important bits if a shell comes along,may think about a track car first then a road car,not too sure yet.

thanks for asking Dan.



Dave.

 

No probs mate, was a shame to see it happen as you seemed pretty genuine when we spoke, so

LOL @ Proper RS, just something thats not FWD I guess!

Have you thought about Spiky's car? Would need a respray tho!

 

Much as I thought then, she's not advertised it as yet, just been trying to sell it thorugh word of mouth; I guess she needs to stick it in Top Marques or something similar.

CheeRS,
Iain

 

Want another 4x4 car.

Plenty of shells knocking about at the moment just too busy at work to sort anything.

Will be back no problem as i have the bits,could just get a saff shell and use that but want another escort first,maybe,just maybe a 3 door 4x4.

See how it goes.



Dave.

 

Sounds cool then mate!

I've seen a stunning Grp A WRC car for sale, all the right bits at about 26.5k, if only I had that sorta money knocking around it WOULD be mine! lol

 

£19,995 new

 

steve sure they was 23k new , they cost 28k to build i remember someone saying, prob ford playing to be the generous ones like normal

 

Nope deffo £19,995 new

 

I have seen an 03 plate car in the Trader for £12,600!

 

Cheap car, but can you imagine the milage for that price or condition.



Dave.

 

started @ 19995 and went upto 21k

There are defo bargins out there try and get one with Bluefin as you will want it within a month as they drive abit doggy as standard I would still want top money for mine as its a 53 with just 6k
