Why two threads?

Have you tried asking Motorpoint?

[sandman77]

Why? What are you hiding from them?

[towlawrian]

I didnt think my first thread posted sorry. Theres a crack in the plastic on my dial cluster not sure how its happend but some say it could because of the heat. I just dont want to drive all that way (2 hour drive)for them to find more more things and offer me a low price meaniong I cant get the car I am after.

The crack on the dial cluster is from when it was clocked.

[towlawrian]

haha no its has 78,000 on it which is high,

If nothing else they will probably check the mileage, in which case they'll probably notice.

If a £500 banger it probably won't matter if it's a £20k retail car expect to get chipped (rightly) for that and anything that isn't as you described.

Why is 78k miles high ?

its a 57 reg focus, I thought 78k was high?

No, that's about right. 10 to 12k miles a year is average.

If you're worried about it phone them and ask them.

If the distance is an issue wouldn't you be better off buying locally? Can't imagine it's anything rare/exotic if it's at Motorpoint? Also much easier to get issues resolved.

Spoke to them on the phone and they said because Ive been honest it wont affect the value. Yeah we will wait and see I suppose
