Is our Focus worth anything?

Is our Focus worth anything?

Hi, I have a ford focus. 2005. It has a bout 170,000 KM. It passed the NCT recently apart from the back brake pads which were subsequently fixed After fixing it the Power Steering went as the pipe is corroded and the fluid was draining out. Also the bearings in the two back wheels are nearly gone. So we are buying a new car instead. Can you advise if this is still sellable and if so how much we could look for it?. We don't intend to do the last lot of repairs and it might need to be towed to a garage but we have that cover in our policy.

Our answer:

Hi Margaret,

A dealership may offer you a token amount for the car as a trade-in versus another, but I think that's your only hope of making money out of it in its current state. Nobody will want to take on the potential repairs in my opinion.
