Hi, could you explain why the mileage recorded at service dates drops over 6000 miles between 2011 and 2014?


Sep 2011 @ 25,950 miles, Feb 2014 @ 18,426 miles, Feb 2015 @ 20,061 miles, Feb 2016 @ 22,195 miles

Many thanks

Hi
Thanks for the question, no discrepancy it’s a typo, the service on my he 22/09/11 was at mileage 16’321 miles. The job number on the receipt is 25950 which is where the mistake has come from, they have read the wrong number.

Hi, to confirm we've corrected the mileage typo in the description. As the seller's invoice shows a job number was miskeyed in place of odometer reading when writing the copy, apologies for any confusion.

Why is this being sold so soon after purchase?

[LuckyThirteen]

And, what was done about this


Currently, I'm bidding. On the assumption however this was properly addressed

Hi
The rear sill area was corroded underneath so the rust was cut out and a repair panel fitted.
Thanks

Can I ask why it's being sold only 3 months after purchase?

[Speddyp]

Hi, of course, I just have no use for it and want to sell. There are no issues with it, its drives absolutely spot on. Thanks

Sorry, devils advocate - if you have no need, why did you buy it ?

[Speddyp]

You sound like my wife 😆
I used to have one years ago and loved it, couldn’t resist buying this when I saw it, it was like a new car with the low mileage, plus original bill of sale, Ford service history etc.
It’s a fantastic example and if I had space I would keep it but simply have too many cars to properly look after and enjoy fully.

To make money, clearly....

[Speddyp]

It wasn’t but I don’t see any issue even if it had of been really?

I'm not saying it's an issue, just saying that someone who buys a low mileage car like this, then sells soon after, is taking an opportunity

[Speddyp]

As I say I bought it to use and enjoy but in reality I’m not going to get much opportunity too and I don’t want to have to store it outside.
