Went to have a look at the WR1 posted above. I have to say they are a really nice looking car. Alot bigger than i expected im 6ft 3 and i felt small in it. It felt alittle frail tho, the doors where very light hehe.
The car was in a good condition inside and out totally standard! I think they over did it on the interior everything looked too polished and slippery. The front fog light was cracked on the passengers side and there was a bit condensation and water inside. They said they might replace it if it wasnt too costly.
I didnt test drive the car. I wanted to discuss the price of the WR1 and my car first and not waste his or my time.
I was offered a decent price for my car Focus ST-3 26,000 miles £8250
But the salesman wouldnt budge on his asking price of £13,500 with 62,000 miles.
Thats a difference of £5250 which i felt was alot.
The car had all its service history done at regular intervals and had 4 previuos owners. It come with full a service and 12 months MOT. From past experience that aint worth the paper its written on but i may be wrong. It also had a few months tax remaining.
They also offered warranty with the car. 1 year for £600 and 2 year for £1000 he wouldnt toss in either as part of the deal. I was told it basically covered everything on the car apart from the tyres and brake pads. Which seemed good but rather pricey as your talking about £14,000 to put the car on the road to have a bit peace of mind. Ive seen alot cheaper and probably better examples for sale here.
Overall i liked the car few too many miles for my liking but if its been looked after i suppose that means little. Im a bit dissapointed he would move on the asking price but he was addiment it wouldnt be there for long and would sell quickly. They have my number so i guess its just a waiting game to see who cracks first.
