FS: Ford Focus Estate, 2001 - #bangernomics

An excuse for a ride to the beach?

£300

Hello,
I'm looking at selling my Focus 1.6L Petrol estate. It's served our family of 4 well over the last 4 years I've owned it, however we're soon to become 5, which means I need to get a full-on soccer mom car in order to fit 3 kiddy car seats in the back...

It's great for me as the boot is massive. If I fold the rear seats down then take the front wheel off my bike, I can then lay the whole thing down, ready to quickly assemble when I typically arrive late to a time trial.

The lazy part of me says to scrap it, but annoyingly we had the clutch replaced 2 years ago, and 2 new tyres have been fitted within the last 12 months...

• 1.6L Petrol
  
• Mileage 90k (on an 18y.o car!!)
  
• £17 tax per month
  
• ULEZ compliant!
  
• MOT'd until 27th Sept '19 (HG51 BWM)
  
• I've just changed the oil and new oil filter fitted
  
• New clutch fitted July '17
  
• Brand new rear o/s tyre and front o/s tyre was replaced Aug '18.
  
• Alloy wheels with some er...'patina'
  
• Electric front windows
  
• Replaced the OG stereo with a JVC unit with 3.5mm aux/USB connections
  
• Smoke and pet-free home
  
  

Negatives

• Tailgate without wiper (weight saving)
  
• Dodgy central locking - only seems to work using the key in passenger front door
  
• Previous owner must have reversed into something denting the tailgate
  
• A/C doesn't work - I assume it needs to be 're-gassed'(?) but I've never bothered
  
• Damage to front o/s wheel arch trim
  
  

In Bournemouth, BH3 7JY - Come for a ride down through the South Downs and New Forest - I'll sort you out with food and drink!

Good price, these a smashing cars that will go on for aaaages with a bit of maintenance. Loved mine.

Is it worthwhile to get someone like quick fit to test the aircon? Quickfit usually have an offer on that they will check the system to see if it holds pressure and then if the aircon still works, and if it doesn't there isn't a charge.

Am looking for a mondeo or focus estate with aircon.

It’s a £300 car and he’s been up front about it. I think that’s pretty fair.

Kwik Fit is the last place I’d take a car for a check.

OP updated with pics!
