    A garage quoted me a trade-in price of €10K for a 2006 1.6 diesel Focus with 15,000 miles on the clock, if that's any guide.

    07 1.4 5dr Focus LX ex car hire can be bought from dealers at around 11,000-11,500 with approx 40-50k kms. 07 Zetecs making approx 1500 euro more.

    Yours is above average miles. I'd back off 2000 or so for the higher miles. Connection spec is a bit higher than LX I think, but lower than Zetec ? My number would be 9000 for a private sale. Probably lower than you hoped ? - but is based on real data.

    Sorry !!!!

    The last of the big spenders ?? !!!! The cheeky buggers !!!!

    I'll give you 5000 !!!!

    Seriously though, you would do much better than that by just throwing it into the auctions. Price you would get would be low but not that low !

    My guess is that it could make 7500 in Merlin if in good condition. Less the fees (5% plus vat I think) you would clear 7000. Still a poor enough price, but no hassle.

    See you there tomorrow night ?? !!!
