What do you think of the price of this Ford Mondeo?

I've spotted a 2009 Ford Mondeo Ghia priced at €14,750 with 55,000 miles on the clock and it is an automatic. This seems a bit pricey to me. What do you think yourself?

Can you guide me on a price for this BMW 3 Series?

Can you suggest a guide price for a 2011 BMW 316d Special Edition with one lady owner and 30,000 miles on the clock? What generally is a guide drop price between a forecourt price and a private seller's price? If this car is still for sale in Jan 2014 how much should the price drop by?

Thanks

Should I wait until January to buy this Focus Estate?

I have a Ford Focus Estate with 170,000 miles on the clock. I intend to change it for another Focus Estate with 55,000 miles on the clock for €11,000 this month. There is only a choice of two near me. Both about the same mileage and price. Should I wait until January 2014? Will there be more choice then? Will a 2009 car drop in price on 1st January if I gamble on it being still for sale then?

Thanks, Green wood worker
