Mister Jingles

Would anybody consider 116k miles high for a 1999 1.6 Focus ? Don't know about the service history though.

Jimbob 83

What year is it ?

I know some engines can tolerate a lot of miles but I don't really know how the 1.6 Focus is like. Finding something decent for around 1500 with under 130k miles isn't easy. Estates Focus though are going a lot cheaper for some reason (sub 1200).

I should really clean up the auld tavia and try and work out a rough valuation

Yup, it is indeed! It's often been said that the divil sends out his demons to attack Alfas so you're not too far off

I went to pay for Diesel earlier and my card bounced.

I had to ask for my payslip to be posted out as I was nowhere near the office and still no sign of it.

I'm growing very tired of this.

In fairness, the owner was quite understanding.
