Ford focus zetec 09 1.6 petrol - Deal or no deal? How much to negotiate down...... - kennysarmy
I am trading in my black ford focus zetec 1.6 petrol with 62500 on the clock against an 09 silver ford focus 1.6 petrol zetec 1.6 petrol with 15500 on the clock.

Dealer has offered me £3500 trade in on mine which matches the glass's valuation.

His car has a screen price of £8999.

How much do you think I would get away with asking for as a reduction?
I always assume there is room for a bit of negotiation when it comes to buying cars second hand but obviously if I ask for something ridiculous off it is just going to make me look stupid.

Thanks

I just bought a 1.6 Zetec on 09 plate 6 months ago for £8995 so this price is a little high now.

I would say try for £1000 of the price if you can and negotiate from there. You didnt say how old your old car is though so its not possible to get a view on wheteher the £3500 is good.
