You'd have to be mad to trade in a car of 7 years old for £1000.

I bought one in July, its not a bad car and it has 5 doors, electric heated wing mirrors, as well as the front electric windows, mileage not too bad , about 43mpg, car tax £20, only downside for me, because of giving reasonable leg space to back seats, boot is on the small side. I paid £6,999 but got the air-con and reverse parking sensors included. That was from Perry's in Preston.

A tough sell, Vauxhall dropped lift time warranty, so this model is has just 3 years of cover (its 2016....)!
They i10 and Suzuki Celerio seem to review better and the i10 has become the go to car for people looking for cheap durable transport that is well rated.
The smart money will be at the local Ford dealer over the coming months trying to see how low you can get a price on a Fiesta as its a decent car the new model is due out next year. The prices I am already seeing suggest Ford have got plenty to get rid of!

I'm curious what price you think these might drop down to? I'm after a Fiesta and might wait till next year if you think it's worth holding off?

The Suzuki Celerio is a fab little car. Have now bought three of them for various family members.

Wife has recently acquired a Hyundai i10 1 litre Premium and I'm amazed at the quality of it. Really well screwed together, quiet, economical and (at last) a decent looking Korean (via Turkey!) car. Very cheap to insure/tax also. Plus the 5 year warranty and 5 years breakdown cover is unrivalled at the price point. Seriously now looking at an i30 for me.

I agree with you.
When I stop using Thames Link to commute to London, I plan to buy i10 2017 to drive to work locally.(Between me and my wife, we already have a large SUV family car and do not need another.)
VW UP is not an option as its automatic version is very bad. I only want an automatic car.

You won't get a Fiesta for £6 though. Double, if you're lucky. Whilst this isn't a great car, it is the same price as a base Sandero that has no electric windows.
This will be great for someone who doesn't need 5 doors.
Oh, just noticed, and this is something that OP should have put. You need to trade in a car less than 7 years old tonget this price. Anything over that age you have to add another £500 to the price.

Got an old motor to scrap (11 years). Tax and insurance runs out end of Feb. Would I be able to get a decent pre-reg for £5-6k?

*£1000 swappage already included in price.
*£1000 swappage allowance for your old car available on cars under 7 years old and £500 swappage allowance if your car is over 7 years old with a valid MOT and registered to you for 3 months previously.
So it's not 1K scrapped allowance, unless you've got a car less than 7 years old you'd consider scrap!

I presume £1000 is the minimum, may be worth it if you have a bit of a banger that needs some work,
