Title: Cheap Ford Fiesta: What to pay?
Post by: I_want_an_Omega on 11 August 2010, 15:03:25

Hi,

My neighbour wants to sell a Fiesta & has offered me first refusal:

1996 (N) 5 Door LX 1.3 with 72k miles. No Tax or MOT.

Looks in fair condition for its age, minor rust around arches.

Neither of us has any idea what its worth. Any ideas guys?

Thanks

No tax or MOT I would say is only worth scrap value, about £100 if that.

yep same as all above, they rust for a past time... not worth the hassle.

Thanks guys - might be worth getting in in for an MOT and see what its like underneath.

Just scrapped the wifes fiesta (96 1.3 LX) because the sills were shot exactly where Henry said. It wasn't worth spending money on the repair got £70 for it (collected)
