its a 2001 focus 1.8 5dr zetec in blue with 134k on the clock
its MOT'd till next june (I think, will check later) and currently taxed till the end of April (but that will get cashed if it doesn't sell strait away)
the bad bits:
its got cosmetic rust on every door and the start of it on the rear arches and the engine bay and so on.
its started to drink a little oil
it sometimes losses some water and I'm not sure if the fan is working - the fan not working could explain why it losses the water though
the rear fog light has started to come on randomly (often after a speed bump) and doesn't go off again even when you take the key out
this is either the switch thats dead or a wire thats been rubbed - I've not have time to find out yet
its got a small vac. leak I haven't found yet that make the idle a little rough, but still runs fairly well otherwise (you can just hear it)
most of the exhaust is on its way out
(the back box is new) but the hangers have be replaced with my DIY efforts and its probably more secure than the original for now
its a 13 year old car
the good bits:
its got an MOT !
it will probably pass it next MOT if the fog light is sorted
it still pulls well on the road, 0 to 70 with ease even on the tiny slip roads round here
the cam belt was done at 80k (ford say 100k)
it got a new clutch a couple of years ago
its got a new speed sensor (common failure)
it got a new power steering pump and pipes about 3 years ago
it got new front arms about 15 - 20k ago
its got anti-roll bar drop links front and back a wee while back, can't remember when exactly but they are fine for now (proper expensive ford ones that actually last !!)
it also got a new lower sump at 90k
its got no fault codes
all the brake pipes are new except the a tiny bit behind the engine which is in good condition anyway (sheltered from the worst of the salt)
its got decent brake pads/shoes (mintex or motorcraft) and had new discs/drums/wheel cylinders and recon calipers in the last ~30k or so they should be good for a while yet (the pads have only been in for ~10k)
it comes with a choice of wheels and tyres:
4 x std. zetec alloys in decent nick with half worn vredestein sportrac3's
4 x std. zetec alloys with lots of scratches and marks with vredestein quatrac3's (all season / winter) 2 with decent trad left the other 2 are min. tread
2 x 4 stud mk3 mondeo steels with random tyres (same size as the alloys)
the interior isn't too badly worn / marked - could stand a clean though
did i mention its got an MOT
-------
can be supplied with oil, filters and plugs for its service (due about now) - I can even do the work and a fresh MOT if its a deal breaker (price would reflect that though)
I'd guess the car must be worth £400 at most, so make me an offer
(I can deliver it for the price of the fuel within a reasonable distance)
the good spare set of wheels are probably about £100 worth on there own (going by ebay rates) so say £75 to a locost builder
they are 6J x 15, ET 52.5 with 4 studs on a 108 P.C.D. and a 63.4mm centre bore (i.e. std ford)
tyres are 195/60 R15 on V speed rating (correct for this car)
