Guys car for sale locally - Ford KA - 52 plate , original ford alloys and leather interior, have no idea on the mileage, engine, owners etc but at £600 ono and with a decent mileage / mot could this be an investment regards buying / selling it ??

have heard there is a demand for small s/h economical cars just now and just feel at £600 ono its seems a bit off a bargain ??

Ka's are cheap nowadays anyway.

A combination of ford build quality and the sheer amount sold. A very very popular car when new.

With long MOT and no major rust and decent interior could sell that for 800-900 .. I sold a Y reg one with some rust on sills and fuel cap, decent interior, Full MOT, 109k miles for £675

i wouldnt buy it, not enough profit to be made when selling on. fiesta's are abit bigger, appeal to more people and can be had cheap enough now, small economical cars are normally 2nd cars and people wont pay for luxuries like leather etc.

Okay cheers, to be honest still a bit off a gamble. £800-£900 sounds okay but guess its still a good few quid to outlay to find out if it would sell !!

thanks for the advice anyway, appreciatte that guys

They are a pain to sell. Really troublesome for one I did recently.

Only do it if it is dirt cheap. My Missus had an 03 plate air con model with low miles that went for 1100

And only girls buy them. And whoever they bring along to look too is always really picky probably because they hate them too
