Focus price check?

Guys looking @ a

New 2010 plated Zetec.
Leather
Manual
In the red (colarado red iirc)

On road for $24 200....

Going by the net and the usual car sites it seems like a cheap option over a 2nd hand one without the leather hovering around the 20+k mark. Besides alot of the 2nd handies are silver or white :(

Not much on the Focus market so is the above car a good buy?

Not bad,
I bought an 2007 LS Zetec with 50,000kms in blue flame in 2009 for $19,000
at the time a base model new was around $27,000

there is this 2010 LV LX in red for $21,785 on carpoint

to be honest I drove 2 Xr5's but for the money the squirt wasn't enough to combat the klm's and lack of cruise, the zetec was nimble and pokey enough for the task at hand...

The garage is all but full atm with a modded BF2 xr6t and 2 BA GT's + a 4 Runner but as the other half is not as tall as me the Focus/Mazda and Alpha mini cars were worth a look.

Your car sales link is a good buy, but is the LX/LV without leather worth 3.5 less than the zetec with leather??

the deal is penciled in but without a huge focus knowledge I wasn't even sure what I was buying....

Bit of a trap...

Check whether it's a Mark 2 LV or a Mark 1. The mark 2 isn't like a full upgrade, but it has bluetooth and voice recognition (for those that want that sort of thing, though they'd be good for resale value). I'm fairly sure the Mark 1 didn't have those.

If it's Mark 2 you've got a reasonable deal. If it's Mark 1, it's around the going rate.

yes MkII on the paperwork
