A little late to this thread, and I've never bought a new car before but...

This does seem like an exceedingly good deal.

Anyone care to guess what this might be worth if sold a year or three down the line? I only had a brief look at Autotrader, but it seems you could have a very cheap few years' motoring if you sold at the right time.

The reason you sold it so fast because it was 2005 ( it isn't really that old....) and only 50k miles.

Nothing wrong with my 13 year old Focus, which is actually surprisingly economical (40+mpg if driven sensibly). Less than £1k (including the cost of the car, but excluding insurance/fuel) for 15k miles and counting.

Only pitfall is the £285 cost to tax it this morning

We've a 2003 Seat, cost us a grand 8-9 months ago. We don't do many miles like the op so we saw it a waste of money having anything newer. Had we bought a similar car new it would have lost approx £4-5k by now. I could probably put a new mot and sell it for the grand we bought it for several times over. Hubby knows his stuff though so can spot a bargain or a wreck
