    very basic 4 door....no aircon etc

    I'd think they'd want it in at €2k - it wouldn't really be a retailable car in a dealers.

    Sell it privately obviously.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,733 ✭✭✭✭corktina


    yes, that's what I intend to do. Donedeal suggests 4 to 5 k, but I don't know how achievable that is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,520 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    Look at toyotafanbois high spec hatchback not selling. Its 2 years older but I reckon they're both worth around €3k privately

    my ST170 must be untradable I'd say...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,520 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    Yes. Even to a Ford dealer.
    I'd say they would love to trade it in though ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,102 ✭✭✭✭Drummerboy08


    I'd say they're both worth 1500 quid in the trade. focus should be an easy sell privately.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,733 ✭✭✭✭corktina


    I don'y think I'll bother even asking about a trade in. I'll be trying to nail them to the floor on a cash price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,360 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    The Focus ST probably has a certain buyer who would be looking for that particular car and probably prefers to buy from it's current owner as opposed to a dealer who just took it as a trade-in. Cannot see much appeal from a dealer to be honest.

    The Corolla suits a more variety of buyers and will always find a home, probably too old though for a large franchised dealer to resell on their forecourt but might appeal to a smaller dealer.

    Toyota very strong in my home town, so I'd see little trouble selling it I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,845 ✭✭✭Noccy_Mondy


    I'd have bitten someones right hand off for an st, but the high mileage I do, I couldn't :(

    Just park it outside mass

    Sorry for highjacking but would you guys be able to give me a trade in estimate on an 07 Mazda 3. Its a 1.6 petrol with 112500 km alloys fogs etc but no aircon or cruise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,520 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    I'm gonna say €1500 net of any discounts.

    you need my ST200 Mondeo then...you really do...it's on adverts.ie and donedeal and is a really good car for small money (end of commercial)

    Why are you trying to sell it without test. Would seem like madness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,733 ✭✭✭✭corktina


    probably is.... no money and other priorities

    Yeah.


    Again, sell privately if possible.

    I'll NCT it if I still have it by Easter*...Transit taking all my dosh :-) and the Focus has NCT tomorrow

    *and put the price up..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,289 ✭✭✭Padkir


    I'm also going to hi-jack this thread... Sorry!

    2004 VW Bora 100hp 1.9 TDI with 127,000 miles. Timing belt will be done in the next week or two and will be going for its NCT soon also (so assume for the purposes of this that it comes through ok).

    Otherwise in good condition; bits of cosmetic damage (small dent on side door, few tiny scrapes on bumper).

    Would have said based on looking at Carzone and DoneDeal that 2.5k - 3k would be a reasonable estimate, but then again I'm not in the business of buying or selling cars! Anyone in the know want to give me a rough valuation?

    Could you possibly get more money by Breaking the Focus ST?
