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
