Car Buying

[Bazile]

i'm considering buying the following from a main dealer -

Ford Focus Zetec
Registered - 03 2010
5 door
1.6 engine
Petrol
mileage 52520
Serviced - 25/03/11 ,14/09/11 , 23/10/12 , 02/06/14
Price £ 6111

Can any of you knowlegible people see anything that should concern me ?

What do you think of the mileage, service intervals and price.

If on a belt, it need to be changed, Check Clutch Travel.

Honest John recently advised that over £7k was a reasonable price for a 2010 Fiesta, so £6.1k seems very reasonable for a Focus.

I've had 3 Ford Focus' and they have all been superb. Reliable, low maintenance. If it's from a main dealer, you will get at least 12 months warranty, and haggle over the price. You will knock them down! They will probably pretend to have 'ask the manager' about the price, but fight your corner!

To be honest, there are four reasons I wouldn't buy it!

Thanks for your responses .

What about the mileage it's done and the sevice intervals - what's your opinions ?

Mileage not that bad, average 10000 / 12000 a year as a norm, car seems to be serviced well, if your intention is to buy, do not use their finance or their so called warrantee, it's not worth the paper it's written on.
