Buying guide. Zetec tdci
I went to look at an lx tdci 2006 estate today and was disappointed.
As the guy turned up revving to turn round it was puffing black smoke. Had a loud fuely knock at Tickover. It went as soon as the revs picked up and body work tatty so I walked away.
I have seen a few of the 130 tdci Zetec mondeos but they are always a bit cheaper. Is there a reason?

Probably because they're the lowest spec (apart from the Edge). Mechanically all TDCi130s are identical and as there are lots of TDCIs about you can be choosy - so although it's an arse shop around.
Generally the Ghias, Titaniums and especially the Zetec S models command a bit more money. Try and get a facelift, 6 speed one.

There are some 90bhp models, but they're rare, and rubbish, so ignore them. Plus there are the TDDi models which have their own pros and cons.
Oh and I was wrong above, the LX is below the Zetec in the range, but there aren't massive spec differences.
