parv1 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi all I have recently been thinking about getting a new Titanium X Fiesta to replace the 2010 Titanium I have at the moment. After looking at specs and configuring cars via the Ford website, I still don't know whether to pull the trigger or stick with what I have. Current Car; 2010 Fiesta Titanium Individual in Panther Black. Has only 14500 miles on the clock. No issues whatsoever with the car.Having spoken to a dealer, they offered £6500 for my current car which I think is rather low based on the mileage. Having a look on autotrader, most cars of that age and mileage go for about £7500-8000. Future Car; New Fiesta Titanium X with, full leather, Sony Navigation, Panther Black, Full size spare wheel, 17" 8 spoke alloys. The cheapest I could get was via a company who provides discounted cars for NHS employees, £14750 but will be initially registered with them and then transferred to my name after a day. Do you think the prices on the part ex and new car is good or can I squeeze a better deal from another dealer direct? Any other suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Phil 87 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Have a look at orangewheels or similar Yes, also CarWow and Drive The Deal are two popular sites where you should be able to find a good deal. Then you can use these figures to try and get a lower price from your local dealers, or do what I did and travel further for a better deal. As for selling your car, you might struggle to get a good price going by my experience a year ago. Before I put my last Fiesta up for sale I paid for a Glasses Guide valuation which which came out at about £6,900 (private sale price), but I couldn't sell it privately in the time I had so ended up selling it to We Buy Any Car. After they knocked off about £90 for a few stone chips on the bumper, and their other fees I only got about £5,750 for it. Although someone did call me after I had sold it, and said they would have paid £6k for it, but that was the only reasonable offer I got after trying to sell it privately for weeks. I'd say if you're going to try to sell it privately, get a Glasses valuation and knock about £500 off it, then use that as your starting price.

Good job getting that price, I'm sure the low mileage helped. Was that sold privately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parv1 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yes was sold privately. Having sleepless nights trying to decide what to replace it with. So annoying!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
