ok..

What did you pay for it...
How old is it...
How many k's on it....
And any marks or damage on it....

Then we can work a pricing from there.
Ask something reasonable for yourself to start with then slowly go lower.

Also if selling the car... depending on if the paint has swirls or not.... would possibly benefit a detailer going over the car. Make it look amazing so the people looking will want the thing on the spot.

OK ive just had a look at the market on www.carsales.com.au

I'd say you are looking around the 18grand to 22 grand mark roughly if lucky. Possibly less.

Example of your competition:

Yeah, unfortunately base model fords get hit hard on resale value. But you've got the colour coding, smooth pack etc so you might do alright. I'd even be tempted to keep an eye out for a set of LX 16" or Zetec 17" rims which pop up around the place for very cheap and sell the 15"s.

Only 2500Kms? are you missing a zero in there?
