kabulu Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hi I'm looking at a 10 plate Zetec S in sea grey with 50k, 6 months warranty, MOT for a year and the crabclaw alloys. It's from a trader with fsh and looks to be in good condition. Any ideas if this is worth the price and what I should try to get it for? Many thanks!

Taylor22 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I would say that's a good price, only zetec s' I've seen below 6k have very high miles on and even then they're 5k. Mot and warranty are also a bonus so I'd buy it if I was you. I think you'll find there's not much if any leeway on used cars prices, majority of dealers price them at market value so there's little margin to negotiate. I tried at 3 different dealers to get a Zetec s for less but they're such a popular car they wouldn't budge a penny cause they knew it wouldn't be sat there long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway_Chile Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Sorry I just realised you said Zetec S. Ignore me haha As Taylor says these days it is very hard to negotiate a price especially in popular models. When I got mine I just had to try and get what I could for the price offered, I.E full MOT , service, car mats and a tank of fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabulu Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Ok thanks would £6k be a reasonable offer? Don't want to offend anyone but I know there's a mark up for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway_Chile Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 No harm in making an offer, they can only say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor22 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Agreed that there's no harm in offering, I'd be very surprised though if they accept it. They're in business to make money and they'd have no reason to reduce the asking price for a car that hasn't been sat long, and like I said Zetec s' don't sit there long at all..
