Safe to buy this Focus?
Hi, Hope your doing good. I have shortlisted Ford focus 2012 titanium model Petrol. Mileage is 158400Km and the current owner has imported it from Japan however it has now Ireland registration. He has all service history. I would like to know if it is safe to buy the car at this stage given that it was imported earlier. The price quoted is 6950 EURO however when I checked the valuation of the car on the website, it shows 7500 euro. Appreciate your response. Many thanks
Our answer:
Hi Pravin,
Cars imported from Japan are usually in good condition, so that alone is not cause for worry, especially if it has a good service history. Ideally you'd get a good mechanic to check it over for you.
Assuming you mean the valuation on the Carzone website, that is only an average estimate based on the information you provide, but a seller can ask for any price they want. It's not an exact science.
