Low mileage for age, but still £6995 for a nearly 10 year old car. That just shows crazy prices of used cars since covid.

Never be embarrassed Matt! You take a car that’s been run into the ground and neglected and give it the full treatment and breath life into it. So any profit you make is well earned 👍🏻

I've got a 14 year old 1.4 zetec, in 12.5 years of ownership has only needed a battery, 1 spring, 1 wishbone and brake pads and tyres, got to be the most reliable car I have ever owned

[MarkHiggins-hqst]

It shocks me that people are happy to spend more on trainers than quality tyres which could when needed save them. have explained this to a few younger people and the logic hits home. i think the premium car companies do not hit home with this fact.

The 1.25, 1.4 and 1.6 N/A engines are all very reliable. Other wet belt engines not so much. Can easily get miles and more in the zetec s/se/Duratec engines. They do however consume oil at a fair rate past about 100k so as long as you keep on top of that they should give you minimal issues! ❤️

I stumbled across this channel at the start of December 23...its became a bit of a daily dose of car sales for me....😂....been on the lookout for a wee runabout / dump car etc....and found a 2008 Ford Focus with 20k...yes 20k on the clock....😊

[soulman]

The 1.25 zetec is an absolute workhorse of an engine looked after . Know a few driving instructors who have put serious mileage on these cars with few problems including myself who took one to 170.000 miles 👊🏻love them 👌

As a Fiesta owner/driver, put new plates on it and fit the front one about 5mm lower than almost everyone else does, so that the lower chrome strip on the grille is not obscured to give it the full "Aston Martin" treatment. Recently replaced the (4) original Conti tyres on mine with Michelin Crossclimates and it's made a notable improvement to ride and handling

I hired one in Germany, when I lived there to drive back to the UK back in 2010. I think, I absolutely drove the socks off it, my God did it handle well and was just a tiny 1.25 petrol. I far better proposition even as a diesel than the later eco-boom ones.

Matt you’re obsessed with cleanliness obviously your parents did a good job bring u up. Most cars are filthy part filthy or neading a good clean. In my day we had more pride with our cars, part of the weekend was dedicated to cleaning the car. Value was more appreciated cheers Rickie

[anthonydavidson]

Matt if you use a dremmil or similar to cut a groove in the screw you can use a flat blade to take plates off without snapping 😉

[tbridgey]

Its great your flipping sensibile cars Matt, much more appealing to the average buyer, providing a safer bet for you toward your profit gains.
Great start to 2024 so far. Love it. Keep up the great work/content

[MegaVector]

Had one the same colour, same year, looks good polished up. Titanium 1.0, 125 bhp petrol - great little car, handled like a go cart and never missed a beat. All the ecoboom stuff is a bit harsh, it's a complicated engine and needs to be properly serviced. If you are a nerd and want to know where your Fiesta was made, it could have been Spain, Russia, UK or Cologne in this era you can tell by the letter and number combo on your VIN plate.

Ok anyone else here notice that as soon as Matt stops massively overspending on every vehicle - the entire UK economy experiences a serious downturn as reported by the ONS (Office for National Statistics)? Biggest drop in sales in 3 years, someone please line up Matt for some more Range Rover goodness. Your country needs you Matt.

I had my driving lessons in a 2016 Fiesta Ecoboost. Wonderful car to learn in and drive in general. In the middle of selling my first car (2010 KA) for a Fiesta. Can’t wait.

[nathanbowers]

We had a 59 plate Style+ with the 1.25 duratec and was a brilliant car. Went to Kia afterwards to avoid the Eco-boom era and now have one of the last Bmax. This is a good car and was £1000 cheaper than an identical spec fiesta, probably because they tend to appeal to the National Trust card carriers.

[juanpablocorreiaecheverria]

My mother had one for 6 years. It’s been absolutely amazing.

[instruMENTAL]

Owned a pre owned eco boost from the same year. It looked the same inside and out (apart from being black) and I genuinely couldn't fault it. I think it's the best looking ford (apart from a mustang or GT) and felt solid and tight. Not a ford fan but I'd own another fiesta... If it was an ST

[malcolmjones]

Love your videos Matt. On this Fiesta you didn’t say what the rear hatch dent had set you back. Keep up the great work. Thanks

Cracking little car. Just thought of a new High Peak Merch idea - "I have massively overspent" with crossings out to read "I have marginally underspent."
