Question Need advice on 05 Fiesta Zetec's

Hi all, I am selling my EL XR8 and I am keen to get into an 05 Fiesta Zetec, what can you all tell me about them and how much is a reasonable price to pay for one with around 30,000 klm's on it?? Will definitely be manual and not too fussed on colour. One last thing, RIMS ! what are my options for a nice set of shoes ? All pics and advice greatly appreciated. Maybe you guys know of one for sale too.
Thanks, Ben.

Hey bud...

I have a 05 Model ZETEC myself. they are great cars and there arent any problems with them at all whatso ever.... a reasonable price for a good one is about 13-16max...

for something around the 16 mark youd want low k's and full featers.. like this one...
05 Fiesta Zetec in VIC
thats a great example. $15,500 20,800 k on the clock with body kit, rear spoiler and wheels.

in regards to wheels if you dont like the model above in regards to wheels, there really isnt an abundance of wheels available for the fiesta. um im not too sure on the offset of the wheels as i have long forgotten after getting mine....

I know speedy wheels do some in the correct offset for the car.

here is acouple pics of mine.... ive got the LR ford Focus MP3 Rims. they are the same as the fiesta ones but are 17" and fill the guards nicely.

$13,000 is a really good deal for a low-km WP Zetec.

Yeah I saw that Seano, no probs in Sydney I dont mind a drive !,
Only thing is it will be a little pricey by the time I get it re-registered and a RWC as well.
Nearly another $800, on top of whatever I can haggle you down to !! : :

It does appear though that I am officially on the look out as my car seems to be sold, for now anyway !~! Here's hoping !

i picked my 17" up for 760... youll need tyres as well...

the ZETEC comes with abs and EBD and all that...

the LX had an option or somethingthing rather for ABS.... suffice to say id didnt come standard.

The Zetec came with 5 spoke 15" alloys as standard. the 16" where optional along with rear spoiler and body kit.

I think the interior is correct, but aren't those LX wheels?

Yes the interior is correct. its a Zetec but it is missing the wheels.

The Color coded mirrors give it away along with the fog lights and the interior door pulls (which are silver on a zetec)

Well it turns out to be a dud, it was the only Zetec around too (within budget that is) looks like it will be an LX now, oh well !
