To make way for my new motor, I'm looking to send my disco wagon off down the road! It's a Ford Focus C-Max 1.8L (petrol) Zetec on a 55 plate, and has a shade under 66,000 (mostly motorway) miles on the clock. This car runs well, is pretty economical, has a really comfortable driving position and handles like a regular Focus. In terms of load space, in the boot with the seats up and parcel shelf in place, I can fit two Wharfedale passives (don't know the dimensions, but they're bigger than a pair of Mackies), my playout box (19" 2U Kam Kase), 2 amps in sleeves, 2 laptops and my cable bag. Sitting on the back seat, Powerbar, DSB and cloth, speaker stands...the point I'm making is that it fits in a decent show with back up gear comfortably and still drives beautifully. It's also a great family car, and has had both front and back brake pads and discs replaced this year.

So, things wrong with it...a few paint chips on the passenger door thanks to the Mrs spatial awareness when she opens her driver door. A small scuff by the front fog light on the drivers side thanks to my spatial awareness reversing out of a hotel car park with a very small ornamental wall that I missed. All in all, in good nick for its age.
According to What Car, you'd pay £3,400 from a dealer or £3,200 privately. I'm looking for sensible offers around £2,750.
Cheers
Jon
