    Hi, I've had my car advertised on donedeal for about a month now and have got a few calls about it but noone interested in viewing it. Initially had price at €3200 which I've now dropped to €3000. I'd appreciate any critique and suggestions for the ad as I'm keen to shift it!

    It is well over priced i bought a 02 focus same model with a longer nct over a year and a half ago for 1700 your car is now a year older from the time when i bought it well 2 years older most people will see it as i bought mine in 2009 it is now 2011 so i would be thinking if you want a quick sale 1500

    Brother bought an 04 hatch 1.6 with aircon and alloys etc, full history for 3500 last year.
    I don't think an effectively 3 years older saloon is worth anywhere near 3 grand. I reckon 2k is the price if you're lucky , saloons undesirable.

    As above, €3k is too much for a basic LX 9 year old Focus saloon. I'd also undo hiding the reg plate. Some buyers like to do motor checks first before making contact with the seller. Blocking out the reg may give the impression that the seller is dodgy or hiding something.

    +1 to the above. It's the low spec version, has a boot and is a 1.6, far too big an engine for Irish people ;) Sorry OP, you#ll struggle to get €2k for it.
