It is worth it if your not confident you will pick up everything.When I got a full one for and other car a freind was looking at they picked some things I didnt but they also had no idea about some things I did. Real idiots in a few way but genrally was worth the money.

Mildman Member 149 Member For: 19y 7m 11d Posted 09/11/06 09:50 PM Share Posted 09/11/06 09:50 PM Try and get a good trade in deal when buying your T (as Ford dealers are pretty desperate at the mo'). If the trade price is more than your pay out figure you've got it made!Selling cars privately is really hard and really slow!
