Mk1 Focus found
Discussion
A friends father, currently in hospital decided this week to give up driving, and wanted to sell his Focus. Looking for a cheap airport hack in the next couple of months, it seemed like too good an opportunity not to investigate, so today went to look see.
It's a 1.6LX on a 54 plate, but with a mere 40,400 miles on the clock, the last few years have been to and from the garage that have serviced it and Mot'd it religiously.
A couple of "old man's car features" hastily removed, JML parking sensors, beady seat cushion, and a bin fill of vinyl "I've seen the lions of Longleat" stickers from the rear windows (side and rear).
The documentation supplied includes every Mot, every service, every repair, and a fully stamped book, every 6 months (or 400 miles) this this has seen more service than a Bangkok hooker.
Filled it up with fuel at home, and used it to come down to Luton Airport for a flight tomorrow, a journey of 180 miles and it cost me the princely sum of £20 to get it back to the brim.
Bargain basementastic.
Yesterday, we agreed "about £1,000" but as the MoT and service yesterday cost £200 we agree that £1200 was a fair price, and I for one am not disappointed.
