U will buy a 2008 mondeo diesel here in Ireland for approx 8000 to 9000 euro which with the current euro to sterling exchange rate is fuck all

For example and on uk plates already

At 6400 euro it's a steal, spend a grand replacing a few bits and you have a car for fuck all

Or an 09 for similar money
