    Hi Guys

    Couple of questions. I have a 2001 1.25 fiesta Flight that I would be interested in selling . Only 63K on the clock – Genuine low milage.
    Car is in great nick – What would the market value be – It seems to vary a lot on Done Deal – I was thinking around the 1300/1400 mark?

    Also I would like to upgrade – Would have around 10 k total to spend .
    Any ideas – I was looking at cars that would have the cheap tax (2008 +) and wouldn’t kill me on insurance but a good fun car.
    I was looking at BMW 1 series / 3 Series, Vw Passat ( CC out of my price range I think) , Honda accord, Audi A4

    Any recommendations or ones to steer clear of?

    Just to pick up on the fiesta, the price entirely depends on if there is a valid NCT on it? Also, fiesta's of that vintage suffer from a lot of rust, especially around the rear sills, which would also influence the price you would get.

    Where's the 1 series coming from? The rest are from bigger classes of cars.

    Flew the NCT 6 months ago so no issue there.

    Should have specified 1 series coupe like the one below - Cant post a link

    From the other thread you posted in:

    With a decent NCT I would think it is worth about €1200 so start off by advertising it at €1600 and see how it goes. This allows you room for a price drop and haggling with a buyer.
    €10k will get you a very good petrol Honda Accord, probably the most trouble free out of that bunch, motor tax would be similar on the petrol model whether it be on the old or cheap tax system. Alternatively a Honda Civic 1.8 litre is worth looking at too but really don't get too hung up on the cheap tax, cars with cheap tax tend to cost more to buy.
    For example:
