Default Time to sell the old girl...

Well as the title suggests, it's time to sell my focus, as much as I love her, with a company car there just isn't any point keeping it. On the plus side there will be a bit of cash to buy a new bike once I'm off my bike ps.

Trying to work out a $$ amount to list it at, do people think that rims, exhaust, cai and sway bar will attract a few more dollars, or will it just e an added bonus?

Hey Casa,

Sorry to hear about you selling the Focus :( I would recommend looking on Carsales and doing a comparison on what the average selling price has been. As far as what price to ask, a lot will depend on the condition of your car, kms travelled, service history etc... All the extras you have fitted may not necessarily get you any extra cash unless you sell it to an enthusiast who can appreciate what you've done and the cost involved If you still have the stock bits and pieces it may be more worthwhile for you to put it back to stock and sell the mods separately for some quick cash Best of luck with the sale

Just did a quick valuation on Carsale for an '06 LS CL manual hatch (not sure if this is your model ?)

It has taken me a while to come to selling it, but it's no point just sitting there, and whilst I can still get a bit of cash for it, I may as well.
Don't have any of the original bits, so will have to go as is. It's in good nick, relatively low Kms and good service history, so should get toward the higher asking end of what's on carsales... I hope!

Some people might not like buying cars with mods too so you might lose some people there, maybe put the standard wheels back on, standard intake and don't mention anything about the exhaust.
