Should I repair my Mondeo before trading in?

I have a 2008 Mondeo 1.8 TDCi with 230,000 kilometres on the clock that I was planning on trading in against a new car. There are a couple of nasty scrapes on two of the wheel arches that I've been quoted €977 to repair and the rear axle bushes need replacing, which will cost another €350. Other than that the car is mechanically sound with all servicing and wear and tear maintenance up to date. The car has a full service history through a main Ford dealer and I've owned it since new. Given that at best, I'd expect to trade it in for €3k or scrappage, is it worth my while getting the work before trading in, or would I be better off taking the hit as part of a trade in?

Should I trade my Polo for this Ford Focus?

Hi,

I would like to purchase a 2005 Ford Focus LX manual model from a SIMI dealer who is asking €4,950 for a trade in with 55,000 on the clock, NCT just passed, timng belt done, with all Ford service history and a three-month warranty. I have a Volkswagen Polo 1.4 automatic with 62,000 miles on the clock in average condition. Offer price: €2,450, so I should pay €2,500 more? Is this trade in worth it?

How much would a 2007 Ford Mondeo be?

Hi,

How much would a 2007 Ford Mondeo be worth? It has 84,000 miles on the clock, an NCT until April 2017, heated windows, parking sensors, new flywheel fitted. I'm wanting to update a few years for tax reasons but went to few dealers and it was an insult for what they were offering. Really I think it's because I'm a woman on my own going to a garage, but one dealer told me to sell it private so I'm looking for some advice on the price.

Thanks

How much is a Peugeot 307 estate worth?

Hello,

Thinking of selling my car but price on the websites vary quite a lot for a similar car so finding difficult to see which price to ask. It is a red Peugeot 307 estate (five seater) diesel with 74,000 miles on the clock and in very good condition, with full service history and NCT until August 2017.

Thanks for your help
