[Tom]

Ok its naples red 78,000 miles FSH N reg phase 2

k&n (ugggh) and its been lowered it has factory leather and std wheels.

Been to look at it it has a small patch of rust on the rear arch and a few minor scratches.

Its up for £3995 personally i think its too much but i need some tips on what to look for

 

[Ben P]

not worth that mate, £3000 tops I reckon

yeah thats loads a money look on auto trader website and compare.

I knew someone who had a black 16v will the leather, rust on the arches, about 90k miles and he tried to get £3200 he ended up dropping the price dowm to £2500..... they tend to have big problems go wrong around that sort of milage well mine has any way....

I paid £2800 for mine Same year same reg 79k - zippo rust - didnt have an mot when I got it - asked the seller to put it through passed on all but 2 tyres - he replaced all four!

£2500 tops with the rust but only if its spotless - you ever noticed people put a slight premium on Silver and Red valvers?

£3999 is well over the odds. Maybe a year or two ago, but thats 35% of the original price of the car nearly ten years later - Mundaneos struggle to make that at three years!

Sadly, a totally mint car can barely be worth over £3000. Most change hands now in the £2000 to £3000 bracket.
