RCJ Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 hi welcome to FOC, which model fiesta you looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptain_kilt Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 hi welcome to FOC, which model fiesta you looking at? probably 2000 FORD FIESTA 1.25 Zetec or something similar. maybe even as old as a 98 reg. is it also wrong that i quite like the maroon colour aswell lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCJ Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 my first car was a Fiesta 1.25 Zetec 97 plate and was a awesome drive.... no problems what so ever! Mine wasa bronze/orange colour.... interesting should i say.... haha i dont know how old you are? but insurance is a thought too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCJ Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 insurance shouldnt be too bad then... just keep looking at auto trader most the older fiesta's 95 onwards are really good runners, and for around 600-800 quid you can pick up a good condition one now days :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptain_kilt Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 tesco compare insurance website is very good. gave me a good quote. autotrader seems to be the best - what about eBay or is it best to not look there for cars? seems alot cheaper on eBay but might have to travel further to see it/buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCJ Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 i suggest doing quotes on independent websites i.e. direct line who offer insurance without the "finders fees" that compare the market etc.. price in. eBay is great, just make sure you throughly check the cars over, my mate just bought a volvo on eBay and he LOVES it!
