Help Buying Focus 2002? Ahh!

[mantis21]

Hi All

I am looking closely at buying the following:

2002, 59 000 miles

1.6 Zetec 5dr

Full service history (last service Aug 2013)

1 owner

Cambelt Changed

price 1350

What do you guys reckon? My last car is an economic write off and I kind of need one asap for work, but this looks too good to be true? Every other one I am looking at is 200+ more with less miles,

Please let me know what you guys think? Its a big investment for me and I dont want to make a mistake!!

As long as the car is rust free, runs smoothly in all conditions and all electrics work I think that looks a bargain to me.

Give it a good once over and if need be have a mechanically minded person to have a look too.

Also make sure it has two original keys with it.

Sounds like a good buy to me but as Clive said just make sure you check everything thoroughly before purchasing. Take a look at the common problems thread that we have been putting together here:
