Advice on value of v.low mileage Mondeo - Ian D
I have been tasked with selling a Mondeo on behalf of a retired friend who is in his 70's. He and his wife also have a Polo and are going down to one car, hence the Mondeo has to go. Any advice on what I should ask privately appreciated, I was thinking £2500 but am I dreaming.?!

The car is:

1998 R reg 2.0 GLX Mondeo Estate Automatic
Air Conditioning
Metallic maroon
30,600 genuine miles
One private retired owner from new
Full Ford Service History (serviced annually, stamps in the book at 5119, 10696, 15405, 20280, 24801, 27860, 29626 and 30462 miles)
10 months MOT
4 months MOT
Very good condition, few minor scratches here and there as you would expect but sound, drives perfectly.

Thanks!

You might be asking a bit too much even with such a car.

Here's one example of a W (2000) similar car which is stickered at £3k: and has done 55k

It all depends on whether you can find someone who actually wants the vehicle and is prepared to pay the price as there are so many from which to choose.

and they are both on sale at a dealer.

i would have thought £1500 as its still fairly old. without the low milage and history you can get them this old for well under £1000.
