Well my ex-girlfriends mum is selling her Mondeo, which she knows i have been after for a while. Its an X reg but the new shape mondeo, not the bubble shape. Its covered 130,000 miles has tax till November and Mot till February i believe. Its the 2.0 Zetec with all the mod-cons like all colour coded handles and bump stripes, air con, cd player, 4 elec windows and mirrors etc etc. The body work does reflect it being a used family car with age and milage. Some deep key marks on bonnet and wing, and a few small car park dings here and there. I will need to tinker with small things like glove box and parcel shelf and will need a new rear light.

 

Basically, shes willing to let me have it for £550, i'd still offer £500 if i took it.

But looking on eBay and the likes, exact same model cars with equal or higher milage are going for £1,000+ still.

Found an identical one in the area with 140,000 miles sell for £1,250 with same tax but a years Mot.

 

Anyway what do you all think?

I know they are more expensive to run than 1.6 escorts.

But is it a bargain? Should i get it as i've wanted it for a while?

 

It would be a project in my garage to tidy up till February in my spare time.

I need opinions quickly as she needs and answer today.

 

Thanks evo =]

i would say its a bargain
you answered your own question with the prices, even to sell on its worth it :)
If it's a mk3, are you sure it's a Zetec and not Duratec engine?

I think he was saying it was the Zetec model...

 

Definitely a bargain I wouldn't say no to!

Defo get it m8...

 

I got a 2002 Mk3 the other week and its the best car i have ever driven!!! And your be suprised, the fuel consumption aint really that bad!

Mondeos are very good cars..

The mk3's are excellent. Very comfortable, great handling, tons of grip and reasonable economy for a car its size.

Me and my missus love ours...

 

Its an effortless drive...

back in 2005 i owned a 2003 TDCi Ghia X. It was a good car, not out of this world, but good enough. To be fair though, it only took a 1996 BMW 525tds to make me realise it wasn't that comfortable....
Go for it, you wont be dissappointed, they are a bit boring but for motorway driving etc i cant fault mine :thumb:
Ive been offered a Y reg (New Shape) Ghia x 2.0 petrol for £1200 with 80k ... im snapping his hand off! just hav to sell the focus for the funds..... lol

Go for it!!

 

Ive got a 2005 mk3 zetec and its ace!

 

Im buying back my old Y reg mk3 2.0 16v and might be breaking it for spares, the clutch is gone and im giving 400 quid for it!! so its deffo a bargain!!
