Man of Honour
I doubt this will natter in the slightest but dont expect too much out of the 2.0 tdci. Both of mine (one with and one without dpf) came out at low to mid 40's motorway driving. As I said I cant see how this would possibly matter given your mileage, just when you mentioned the 1.6 economy
Thirsty !? Surely a 1.6 can't be that bad ?
Hey all just an update.
Long version:
Dad has bought a 2.0TDCI Focus Titanium Estate - 6 months old with sat nav, some form of looks pack and parking sensors - £16999 Not a bad price by all means as they are not exactly cheap new!
Ford offered him £4000 for the old Focus on trade in, but he would rather sell privately to get more money.
I won't bore you with all the details on why, but the Micra is half my mum's car. The deal is I get the Focus for £4000 and sell the Micra to my brother for £200 (Looking at pistonheads and autotrader I reckon I'd get £700 for it with ease as the condition is fantastic).
I will pay dad to tax it as the Focus is due for renewal.
Short version:
Getting Focus for £3930 with 12 months tax and giving Micra to younger brother.
Question: Is £700 a fair price for my Micra? 2000, 1.0, very good nick, everything works, doesn't need any money spent on it.
