Hi all,
I am new here - thinking about getting a Cougar. Here are the details of my problem:
So...my Seat Ibiza has served me well. Its the 2004 SX model, my first car, with 52,000 miles on the clock. I have had a few problems here and there, nothing major and nothing beyond my control thankfully thus far.
There is a guy over from Moldova, he has just joined our company and is 23.
He bought a Ford Cougar (2000), it has 30,000 miles on it, but the clock has been changed, as he has receipts of services etc which suggest its more like 60,000 miles...is this something I should be wary of?? He bought it for £1,500
He bought it without checking insurance prices and was stunned to be quoted over £3000.
I went up to the shop with him a spin on lunch and was loving the interior, full leather trim, gorgeous machine and a lot of power in it!
He was complaining about the insurance quotes and I laughed saying something like:
"haha, sure I will swap you my ibiza for this." I said this in total jest.
To which he replied "really? I'll have a think about it."
Now he seems quite keen as he got much cheaper insurance quotes from companies for the Ibiza.
But am I doing myself a mischief here?
I would be swapping a newer car with less miles and paying more in fuel costs and £150 extra on insurance.
The Ibiza's from this age are selling for around £2,500 on auto trader. I highly doubt he would swap me the cougar plus some cash..can't see it.
