There are lots and lots of car buying websites such as We Buy Any Car popping up month after month. These websites state that they offer a no hassle sale of any vehicle and that you are given a price upfront.

Most mechanics will have experience in working on them and parts are relatively cheap compared to BWM, Mercedes and Audi etc. Although all cars are individual and can develop faults at any time, the Focus is quite reliable and it also well known for its safety which is often...
