Whizkid Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Hi all Selling my '57 plate 2.0 TDCi Ghia. Registered Jan 2008. Comes in Stardust Silver, with the following options .... 17" 10 spoke alloysTyre Pressure Monitor SystemConvers+Tonneau CoverRoof barsSunblinds Its currently covered 9400 mls - 90% motorway. The trip computer reads an average 47mpg, but my own calculations put this closer to 43-44mpg. No dings, dents or scratches. The car has only been driven by me. The third row seats have never been used, and the second row seats have only been used occasionally. No dogs or kids in the family, and I really do take car of my cars. The car is available from 1st September 2008 onwards, so plenty of time to plan a purchase. Its not advertised anywhere else at the moment. I will probably put it on ebay & Autotrader towards the end of August. No pics at the moment - the recent bad weather means I have not been able to wash it, but I can send some on request once I have done so. If you want to have a look at it, or have any questions, just contact me. Car is available to view in Poole, Dorset (evenings/weekends) or Southampton \daytime).

mumof4 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 Can i ask why your selling it? Upgrade? Quote
Whizkid Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Posted July 13, 2008 I'm able to buy my cars on Ford Privilege, so I usually sell them on after 9 months. I've the opportunity to purchase a S-Max Titanium 2.0 TDCi at a really nice price in Sept so I am selling this one. Its a really nice vehicle - I've had no problems with it whatsoever. Whoever becomes the second owner will be extremely pleased. I don't like trading my vehicles in because I think the dealers end up making too much out of vehicles that really need nothing doing to them. This one comes with a warranty to 2011 and is virtually brand new - its still got the brand new smell. It was built in Sept 2007, so the car itself is less than a year old. Quote

seatkid Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Sorry, but I gotta say.... Thats just about 10% less than a brand new one with same spec from DrivetheDeal.com. Just 5 months road tax left, above average mileage no mention of service history. Without the options (that add little if any 2value to resale price), I reckon you could buy a brand new one for the price youre asking, especially if you have cash. Big cars arent selling fast unless the price is rock bottom Quote
Whizkid Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Posted August 25, 2008 Thanks for the comments. That's the starting price and everything is open to negotiation. I'm familiar with the DtheD price, but you try getting hold of one of these at the moment - very short supply. I think the options do make a difference - perhaps not a great deal, but the 17" alloys make it look visually very good plus the options the bars & cover are probably the most popular add-ons. Sunblinds are good for the family with children. Sat next to std 2007.75 model I think this looks better & may just swing a sale. Service not required until 12.5k so I thought there was not a need to mention it. We'll have to wait & see :-) Quote
