Fiesta si - what sort of price do you reckon.

Postby caprian280 on Tue Aug 10, 2010 8:54 pm

My mate is selling his M reg fiesta si 3 door 1.6
It has 67k on the clock
Body is immaculate throughout
interior is exceptional - only problem is the drivers doorcard has started to pull away from door at the top (sort of bow outwards)
2 owners from new
totally standard
pulls very well,
Full service history
8 months MOT but no tax
currently owned last 13 years
even the wheels are scuff free.
What sort of price do you think is good for that car, he has had a couple of quotes but just checking on here
Its been 5 years since i had an si lol and got £1125 for it so im out of touch with it all.

I paid £475 for a similar car last November. 61k, Full Ford History and completely solid. It was cheap because it didn't have an MOT, but that was simply because the seller had a new car so had just garaged the Si, rather than it being taken off the road because it was a shed (like 99% are!). It passed the MOT without a single advisory.

I've seen a few low mileage Si's on Autotrader (32k miles was the last good one) and they are around the £600 mark. I'm pretty impatient with car buying so I'd be willing to spend up to £1500 for the right car, if I could get it quickly.

The point is, anything under £1500 is throwaway money for a car, so it's really a case of what it's worth to you; good ones are out there but don't come around that often.

Thats cool cheers for that, i know cars seem to have gone up a bit in price lately so i know what you mean about throwaway money as such, the car i bought after my si was an escort gti with 95k on clock mint inside, standard etc for £300, so got a little caught up in the fiesta si with prices etc and couldnt decide if it were cheap or not. Cheers again for the info and advice :)
