Title: Help with price of a Ford KA
Post by: Varche on 16 July 2009, 19:38:27
89 year old uncle giving up driving, wants to know how much to ask for his Ford KA.
2 Owners, 56,000 miles, 2006, petrol, 2 door + hatch, manual, immaculate inside, few scratches to body and front wing held on with black tape(!).  Colour dark blue.  Really good runner but need to increase rev slightly to engage reverse (new clutch?).
Maybe three months of MOT left.  How much should he ask for it, and how much should he take?

Cant be that heavy, and price of steel isn't the best at the moment, so I would say 60-80 quid tops!  ;D ;D ;D

Sorry, I will grab my coat! :-X

Try putting clutch down, and holding it there for 2 seconds, then try putting it in reverse, and lift off the clutch like normal.

As for front bumper, you maybe better fixing it first, as it will put the value up a bit.

Would be more tempted to say £2750-3000. I know its only 3 years old, but its got 56k on it already! - Now I know this isn't a lot, but its way above what all KA's would have at that age been a small little run about.

56K is just about "run in" for a Zetec lump.

IF its a zetec lump yes, fine, but...

As 56k for the 1.3 Endura's or what ever their called is just about "run out"!  ;D Unless its been serviced properly and had its tappets readjusted 2-3 times at least. :-X

You'll probably have to clear a kilo of margarine out from under the rocker cover to find the tappets. ;D
