    Click here, it's a forum on the site where you can offload your car;)

    Go to cbg.ie/carzone.ie to look at what models of similar spec are going for and price it accordingly.

    I don't reckon these are worth more than €10,000 to €10,500 privately,

    New petrols start at around €15,000, or close to €13,500 straight.

    You can't take a trade in and offer no warranty.

    Why should he offer a warrantee, ford warrantees it for three years, which means the balance will go the the new purchaser. Doh!

    I sell cars now and again and i find it very difficult to sell at this time of the year,its a buyers market at the moment not the sellers

    The best time of the year to sell is late december all of jan then August/sept
    If you do sell it in the next few weeks you will get less for it than what you might have in the months ive stated

    Mate had a focus, a petrol one mine you but couldn't sell it. There is two many Focus's on the road in Ireland so the choice if someone(God know why) wants to buy a Focus there is plenty of choice with everyone under cutting each others prices to get there's sold. He had to drop over 2 grand before he got rid of his. Last time he said he would ever go near one.....

    Ford only offers a two year warranty on new cars in the good old Republic of Ireland.

    Have you tried putting it in the buy and sell for a week or two.
    I had my motorbike on cbg.ie for a month with several colour pictures and didn't get a single response. Put in in buy and sell for a week and got 3 responses, sold it within 48 hours of placing the add and at a good price too.

    Fords warranty is 2 years. Doh!

    Why would you pay more for a private sale than you would from a dealer?
