This is my partners sportKA, we bought it early in 2005 for a large amount of money, it had less than 5000miles on the clock. It was preregistered by ford and sold to a ford employee. It was pretty much as new when we got it, the floor mats were still in there wrapper in the boot. Its been a good little car, fantastic fun on the B roads and reliable transport to get her to and from work.
The car has done 51,000 miles, it has a full ford service history apart from this years service which was carried out by FST automotive; a local ford specialist. The car is taxed until January 2010 and has MOT til march 2010. It is due its next service in the middle of February or at 53,000miles.
The interior is in very good condition, there are some feint lines on the driver bolster from age, but no cracks rips or scuffs on the seats. the steering wheel has some slight wear where your hands naturally sit, but its not worn through or torn just want to mention it. all the electrics work as they should: mirrors, windows, boot pop, stereo heating/aircon controls, light stalks etc function as you would expect. The genuine sportKA mats are still in good nick! the gear knob has a few marks on it from use but nothing major.
The exterior is good for its age and milage, there are some small stone chips on the front end, a small scuff on one mirror casing, the front badge is not fitted, we preferred it without and the rear badge has some paint missing (i wanted a smooth colour coded rear lock panel) the worst fault with the car is the rust that has broken the surface around the petrol cap, theres not much but to have the panel repaired and the side of the car blown in hartwell ford quoted ~£250 - this is pictured
Mechanically the car is great, after we;'d had it a few years the exhaust started blowing so we had a stainless steel cat back system constructed by our local powerflow dealer, this has a lifetime guarantee and is in good order, it barks when you use full throttle and is almost silent at motorway speed, at the mot in 2008 it was discovered one of the springs had snapped and i was unable to source a replacement quickly enough, pumaspeed had some genuine ford RS eibach sports springs in stock which lower the car around 30/20mm. I still have the original springs if you wished to refit them. The engine has always been filled with premium oil - currently millers and revs freely, the car retains all its standard parts and has never had an induction kit or non standard panel filter fitted, the restrictor in the airbox has never been removed. The auxiliary belt is squeeking abit when the car is cold this has been checked is nothing to worry about, it is only apparent when started from cold and goes away after a few minutes. The clutch doesn't slip and engages easily, the gearbox is still tight and precise. the car had a new steering rack fitted in 2007 as the old one developed a leak and ford would only fit a complete rack. The wheels are in good order given that its been driven almost entirely by a woman, there are a few light scuffs to some of the outer rims, the front two tyres had done a few thousand miles and are goodyear eagle F1's the rears are pirelli pzero neros, one has about 4mm of tread and the other is down to 3mm so will need replacing within the next few thousand miles (1.6mm is the legal minimum)
We have a fully stamped service book, most of the car bills to back this up and both the car previous mot's - the car is hpi clear has never been involved in an accident, it was bought on finance which was settled several years ago, its not had a private plate on it. We have both original remote keys with the car and the current V5 logbook.
the car is located in North Lincolnshire and is ready to go, the price is £2,800ono the car will be missed.
