Personally, id buy a car on condition and history, if its a good, honest, straight car, does it matter how many owners its had ?

 

Agree with Fidster,

as long as the car comes with a fully stamped service history book, with all the bills and receipts and looks straight and tidy and passes your/a mechanics inspection, it doesn't matter about the number of owners.....

 

nope wouldnt bother me aslong as the rest of the car is tip top

 

cars like that often change hands a lot anyway. People buy them, then sell them as the running costs are high.

 

But if it was a 3dr 500 with one owner or there one with 15 owners, what one would you like? at the same price.

 

Yes cause its only 7 years old

 

It would put me off a bit, if the service history was impeccable it should be ok but you could find cars with less owners and less chance of abuse for similar money.

 

At the end of the day,condition over mileage,I'd be mode inclined to ask why it's in Spain after a finance repo?

 

It would put me off, gotta think why so many owners in so little time.

 

It wouldn't put me off at all... but the fuel bill would! Probably why it's had so many owners - They filled up a couple of times and thought "Fuck that!"

 

Agreed. Something would niggle away at me wondering what the answer to that question might be. There are plenty of similar cars on Ebay with fewer owners so why has this one had so many would be the question going through my mind.

 

maybe a little of putting but the car migtht had the same owner but in different names for a reason, proberely for a finanical one LOL

 

Nail head hit the on,maybe not in that order though!!!

 

me too mate

 

I think it would put me off as id alwas be thinking that previous onwers sold it due to problems with the car .

 

Are you serious? The fuel economy is actually very good for a big V6, i get 30mpg+ easily, only drops to 25mpg in traffic/short journeys.

 

most of them are bought by tw@ts, who give it stick to impress anybody looking, and then get a shock when they have to put a couple of tyres on, ok if you live in essex, as they have loads of money

 

Ah you mean the one's who put Wanli's or Landsail tyres on them, complain they could be faster if they made more grip etc..

Mine has never been that bad on fuel and its better since it was tuned, however the previous owner used to only get 18-23mpg in it!

 

but it's in spain so that's going to cost plenty to even go and collect it, let alone find out it's a scam

 

well it sold for £2,750 the seller said it would take 16 hours of driving to get it back to the uk, and expenses of £200 not sure if that's including your flight or just petrol

 

£200 is going to get you around 150 litres of fuel, at uk prices, and that's 2.5 tanks on the mondeo so you'd better being doing the optimum mpg to get back

plus the flight out there

and the buyers not even flown out to see the car in the flesh

plus the outstanding finance issue

problems

 

i wouldn't want to take any bets on it not breaking down on the way back either, what a pain in the arse but a cheap car

just been on autotrader, the nearest 2004 04 st220 £3,995 78,000 just had new gearbox and clutch, 2 owners
