sobriqueWell, I've asked the garage to procure me a car for viewing.
They're bringing a Mondeo Ghia X, Estate. 03 reg, 25k on the clock, and in 'platinum' (Which isn't really, it's more a slightly gold colour).
They're quoting me a price, that funnily enough seems to rather nicely intersect with the Parkers price, and a reasonable trade in on my Focus. (again, in line with price, but the milage adjustment and 'outstanding work' drops it somewhat).
I think it's the 2.0 TDCi (Diseasel) so has a useful fuel milage. Power output (base) is a little higher than that of the Focus, but there's not much in it - which means it'll not be quite as zoomy, due to just being a bit bigger and heavier.
They'll sort me out a seven day insurance policy, and a tax disk. (It's a lower emissions category, so only 130 on tax).
Looks promising, but all subject to having 'had a go', and checking it out.
