Lenny Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi all, Considering selling my focus, As third child on the way the back seat in the focus isint quite big enough for two booster seats and a carry cott, I would be selling it as is with all mods What yall reckon its worth? If sold id be looking to purchase a 2009 Toyota Corolla Verso diesel of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgen Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This X2, but if you are hell bent on selling someone off here should be taking your arm off for it, tastefully done and many hours work and all documented Mods for how too,s. Dont think the vehicle you have in mind is any bigger inside than focus to warrant selling though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nooooooo!!!!! but, but, but, but..... VICKI - STOP HIM!!!!! lol I would say, going by its paper variant and average mileage, you would get about 7500 euro's, but as it is, you could probably push for 9 and settle on about 8.5? thats a rough guess... Whats the mileage on it? As for the Toyota, would you really get one? I only say this on the basis of the number of recalls for brakes and things, I can safely say I would never buy one, I just couldnt do it with any comfort! I would always be prepared for the brakes going and would be wondering "how can I crash this car, without death or serious injury" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think the vehicle you have in mind is any bigger inside than focus to warrant selling though. it looks a bit bigger and can be made 7 seater so remove middle seat and put in boot area leaving a wide spaced 3 seated rear, Saw a 2.2 turbo diesel model, crying out for a remap would be a proper sleeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgen Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 One thing you need with kids is a big boot, even to carry all there crap about, thing about 7 seaters is you loose the boot completely, so yes could put kids in but thats all. Price wise modding is a mugs game as in when you sell you never get it back and end up price wise a little over a nice standard version as people will pay top money as its clean and nice on the eye, like a top top version v a base spec moddle, which would you choose. my last modded car i sold was my leon cupra, spent a fortune on it and it went like stink and looked stunning, money wise got what a really nice standard version would get, before that the polo, one of a kind the only 6 speed gti powered 6n2 out there, when I sold it i offered it in three guises. the complete car as it was. the car without the wheels and the car without its wheels or leather interior. the buyer bought the car only but i did put a standard gti interior in for him but he had to bring wheels with him and put his on before he drove away, sold my wheels within a week and the interior well some lad drove from london to sunderland, arrived here raining and dark, I stripped the drivers seat out as he had already removed the rest and fitted the leather interior and put his seat in the back, he then left for the return journey. selling modified cars is not straight forward mate and the only winner is the buyer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VickiW Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Never mind all the time & money modding it. ....the !Removed! walked into the dealership said" I want that" ye man says "eh ok we only take bank draft" he walks over to bank gets near 19k walks back to dealer no haggling & says there......there's not many 26year olds that can say that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The Focus is bigger than it looks!! I manage to get 2 car seats for De-Niece and De-Nephew plus Mum (either my sister or mother) reasonably well! Admittedly, no Iso-Fix (unfortunately). Besides, the tighter you pack 'em in, the less likely they are to move :D Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yeah I thought it was higher miles and although you high specced it, it probably wouldn't go for 13 sadly... I would love it too but with high miles it might well struggle Sent from my MY SAGA C2 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanW Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Barely even run in!! Knowing the amount of time, care and effort gone into it, if I a) needed a car and b) had the money, I'd consider making an offer...but I don't need a car and don't have the money lol Sent from my SM-P600 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlos1987 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 You can't sell it. All the blood sweat and tears you have put into the motor. I've only done 1/4 of what you've done and it's my baby now. Slightly different to anyones. Let alone being the only one in Ireland. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 haha, 80k I agree is definately low for a diesel, but you know what the people want these days, next to nothing :p I hope you dont sell it, but if you do I hope you get a massive payout for it, but I hope moreso that you keep it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
