Opinions On This Deal, Please.

If its the old fiesta it is not a suspect price. Its a good deal but not spectacular and i doubt the dealer would be making a loss on it after writing it down for however long they've had it.

I'm guessing your looking at this one if you can get over the customer service i would say buy it but make sure your a 100% happy before you pay the balance and drive away i.e. the paintwork has been done properly.

I personally would get them to valet it so you can check properly for any other damage, before you commit to buying.

Re: The GAP quiz, annoying and silly but they're only trying to cover there back from the FSA.

Some slightly higher mileage alternatives. Never pay the screen price, haggle.

If it was the old shape FIesta then this could explain it. I think the new ones starta t 09 but could be on a 58 plate, will see what OP says.

Perhaps it was an import as well.

Import doesn't mean that it is a bad buy at all. But if it makes the price go down, all well and good! People 'spook' over imports - and for the love and money cannot understand why - parts are the same......

walk, in fact, RUN away from bad sales techniques - if they allow badly trained salesmen, then how do they run the garage servicing side of the business??

Go ask the nearest Ford dealer what they can do for you, you obviously have a figure in mind. Do you know what an R reg KA will fetch in your car's current condition??

Trade for a 98 R with 80k is about £650

The cheapest 58 plate Fiesta I can find trades for 7K

A zetec trades for 8K

Yes, I agree. I encouraged my mum to buy an imported Stilo because it saved her well over £1000. Of course the resale value can sometimes be lower, though.
