Is this Ford Focus a good buy for my daughter?

I'm thinking of buying a 2002 Ford Focus 1.4 for my daughter. The seller is looking for €1,950; do you think I'd get it for cheaper?

Hi Brid,

You might be able to but I'd suggest if you're buying it for your daughter you may not want to! Make sure you get a good one and be aware that the Focus didn't have anti-lock brakes (ABS) as standard back then and many cars were sold without it. Worth tracking down one with that life-saving tech.

Let us know how you get on or if you need more help
