Is there a free website where I can find out the cost of my car when it was brand new?

I don't know of a specific website which answers your question, but if you look on this site at Reviews....Car by car reviews....Ford....then scroll down to Used Reviews, you'll find Focus (1998-2004) including the following, which will give you a broad idea. Then as now, Ford list prices are high, but they are usually heavily discounted.

12-02-2002: Ford Focus gets facelift The 1.6 LX acquired standard alloys, a/c and CD player radio. Common rail TDCi development of 1,753cc diesel developing 115PS and 250Nm torque at 1,850rpm. This gives it a 0-60mph time of 10.5 seconds, a top speed of 120mph, a combined economy figure of 51.4mpg and a CO2 output of 145g/km. List prices started at £14,595 for the five door LX.

This is a 2002 price list on ebay.

I have had a look, but even on my wife's large screen computer i can't make out for certain all of the prices. But i think the 1.6 3 door auto is £12745 (on the road). And my best guess looking at the top two prices (which appear to be 1.6 3 door followed by a 1.6 5 door) suggest a £600 difference between 3 and 5 door, so if that is correct, and carried on through the focus range, that would make the 1.6 5 door auto £13345.

Thank-you very much for the help, I had spent ages on Google searching but obviously was not looking in the right places.

Thank-you Avant, that is a useful site.

Thank-you badbusdriver and you have very good eyesight :)

Thank-you Car, just what I was looking for.

I was just doing some sums to see what sort of discount one could expect from buying a car at auction.

I bought my car in 2006 when it was 3 and a bit years old (ex Motability car) and paid about 41.15% of the new price according to the link above including the buyers fee, of course the new price could vary depending on the dealer who originally sold it.

Back then the buyers fee and V.A.T was 4.16% of the hammer price.

I do not know if I bought the car for much less than I could have bought it at a Garage or privately.

I just had a look and now if one were to buy a car for £7250 hammer price the charges will be at least 9.55%

The buyers fee has increased significantly and there is also a cash handling fee and a DVLA fee, if you want to buy online there is another fee.
