Quick question-

Fiesta V reg MK5 5 Door Zetec

Front heated window

Air conditioning

Alloy wheels

30,000 miles

Paint and body in OK condition but there are 3-5 good places where there are major chips. Inside in good condition apart from a little spillage on a seat thats not really noticeable.

£1200

Too much im guessing right?

About £500 too much imo.

Actually, no, its a Fiesta, so its probably more like £1k over price.

Someone would probably give you the full £1200 for it

What colour is it?

This. Obviously depends just how OK the rust situation is, but it doesn't seem too overpriced given the low mileage.

1200 is probably about right, Glasses puts a 1.2 00/V Reg at ~2k Retail ~1.2k Trade.

matt_fsr · 19 Aug 2009 at 13:55

Is that 30k genuine though, or is it the type with the mechanical dial thats ticked over, and its actually done 130k?

In which case... adjust value accordingly

Scania man is way out of touch. £700 for a V Reg Fiesta?

Price is spot on, never underestimate the demand for small cars. Prices have actually jumped up a little recently.

Naah, I nearly bought a Fiesta as my first car until the Merc tempted me too much... :cool:

Janesy B · 20 Aug 2009 at 14:24

I just have a good idea of prices from when I was looking and very few MK5s have fallen below the £1000 mark.

A local garage tried to sell me a MK5 on a W plate, 78k miles, 1.25, for £800 - sounded OK until I turned up, saw the almost rotten through wheelarches, massive scratches in windscreen and almost every suspension part rusted up.

Funnily enough, 5 weeks later its still listed up on ebay.... cant think why?

There was a batch of MK5 Zetec-Ss made in 2001, they used a slightly different primer for the paint and the cars would rot, Ford would eventually have to replace the car and have the shells of the old ones crushed. Go Ford \o/
