First of all, Hi, new member here

I have seen a nice Mk3 Mondeo Graphite (03 reg) online for nothing short of a grand. I may consider going to check it out next week at some point if it's still available is there something I should be looking out for? The price seems pretty cheap to me, so I'm slightly suspicious.

Also would like a few views one what the cars are like to own.

21 is closing in, and I would like something with a bit more power

Thanks

That's the car in question. It will have to be a 1.8 petrol for me since, at my age, and area it's the biggest engine I can get with affordable insurance.

 

the 1.8 petrol aint bad imo
thats a cheap car if its tidy and genuine milage
its always worth doing the checks ie hpi report

 

Get it bought.

Welcome to pf.

 

seems quite cheap that, could just be a bargain, as said do a hpi check before buying, your best off going to have a look as those pics arent much to go by

 

Yeah, before buying I was going to HPI check it. I've just seen a 2.0l Bora for the same price as well, and it would be cheaper insurance! argh, decisions...Mondeo would be quicker... hmm

 

bora is a good car, but gen lower spec then the mondeo

 

Yeah, annoyingly enough, but at the moment I'm having to go for financial practicality, I'll have to test 'em both and see which I prefer.

 

Just bought one. 2007 in Performance Blue. Love it. Has anyone Bluefinned one?. Is it worth doing and does it improve fuel consumption as makers claim?. It is more comfortable to ride in than my ST24 or My 3 door cossie.
