Bad! What a rip. £10-11 max.
its too old, for that much, you have to ask for more for that price.
bad deal.

i can see that it aint worth that much and i dont know alot about used cars
I'd want to know why the mileage is so high personally i always look for low mileage as less wear and tear. Average mileage is apparaently 8000 per year so this is way over and check for full service history and HPI/RAC check it as these are really important for verifying condition and other details.
price is ok.. At about 30000 to 40000 miles it will be in the garage for more repairs than you can imagine. Buy Japanese.
The seat Alhambra & V W Sharan are all the same..
price is ok just, but I wouldn't buy a galaxy.
offer 11grand cash
I reckon that's not a bad deal if it is from a good dealer and includes a good warranty. I use car giant as a bench mark as they are usually cheap and they are selling vw sharans of the same age for a bit more. Worth a look
90, 115 or 130 bhp ?

I hope this helps.
bad idea. spending 12 grand on a second hand ford will leave u empty handed when u sell in 2 or more yrs time. depreciation is bad esp on second hand, worse because its a ppl carrier which are the worst cars to buy.
for 12 grand, brand new vw golf is smart, depreciation is low, safety is great. the car won car of the yr! if however its too small try a second hand audi a4, solid car, residuals is top. maybe the new mini 2006 at 12 grand, when they first came out, seconds were selling at higher price than new!
stick to german makes.
It sounds very nice but howmany people live in your family? There are 8 in mine & the Galaxy is really only any use to a family of 20+
That would mean taking Aunts & Uncles aswell.
It would be ok if you have a corner shop though.
