Hi everyone . I am a newbie and looking to buy new/nearly S.
Have done some research/lurking here it seems Bob Gerard looks good, and the service sounds exemplary.
I will be interested in part exchanging my 16 month old focus ST

My questions are aimed at those of you on here who have used BG.
1) Would they take a car like mine part ex?
2) Would they offer a fair price?

Thanks for your help.
By the way. Excellent forum- The enthusiasm for the S really shines through,and lurking on here has convinced me to take the plunge

Cheers

1) Yes.

2) Maybe.

But you'd get more - as is almost always the case - flogging it privately. Of course, if you're up against it and really need to shift it, I think its a good fallback position to part-ex through BG.

You can give 'em a call or email from the relevant link on their website. They'll probably have gotten back to you within a couple of days.

I doubt they will give a good part ex. The premise of their pricing is to keep the cost low.
