2006 and 60K max for £6000, I think that's your problem.

I bought a one owner ex lease FVSH, 2004.5 [Focus platform] 54 Plate S40 2.0D SE [full leather, heated] 58,650 in silver, 12 month AA 5 star warranty, cost me £6000, beginning of January.

I could not find anything with leather and below 60K within a grand of that. In fact the garage I bought it at, also had a blue 2006 S40 non leather, with 60K on the clock for 7K. And he was cheaper than any other offerings anywhere. But all the enquires had been for the S40 with leather. I say that because I was in two minds, which to buy, as Andrew the guy who owns the garage said, he had the same profit in both so take which ever I wanted. Consulted two mechanics I knew, and they both said the length of time I'll keep the car for, go for the lower priced one, as that grand will disappear when I finally sell it.

Since, fitted front and rear parking aids [ for the wife] electromagnetic type fitted behind the bumpers, so you cannot tell it has them.

If I was to sell it, I'd be looking for 6.5k
