Well its all done
I was a little unsure of how much difference it would be with the Blue Fin on as Standard it is so good....... but FUCK ME
Pulls like a fucking train in ALL gears, and the MPG has gone UP too 
VERY VERY impressed
BIG BIG thanks to Rob for sorting it out, cheers Pal
Managed to say a quick Hello to DanS as he was pulling in as i was leaving

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Tiff,
Sell these cars to me please
Just looked at a few over the last week same year as yours for between Ł12 - Ł15.5k, they do drive well and seem very well screwed together.
BUT......................... I just can't bring myself to spend Ł15k on a mondeo
that no one will look twice at and if they do, assume I'm a carpet salesmen from Slough or similar Also, I figure it'll be worth fook all in a couple of years 
Decisions, decisions

It won't lose anymore than any other car of it's size and value; yes of course it will depreciate but so will it's competitors. Mondeo's have the best resale value that they've ever had; and lots of people aren't snobby about what the badge is - aren't you a bit more of a grown up than to be worried about things like that?
My ST220 done me proud and is an awesome car; so it's it's diesel sister car.
The badge, if that matters to you, is irrelevant - it's a machine and a badge doesn't change a machine's capabilities. Cars such as the Vauxhall Monaro suffer similar things said about them; a shame as they're excellent.

Guys, I'm not a snob and the badge isn't the issue
The issue for me is there are plenty of other cars (from higher end manufacturers) albeit older and more miles for the same if not less cash. I'm not bothered about running costs either so that dosen't play a part.
Just think that Ł15k for a rep mobile with big wheels dosen't seem like money well spent

I looked at Audi A4 TDi Estates at the same time i got the Mondeo.........and imho the Mondeo won in all areas apart from not having 4 rings on the front
If you read the press reviews of the ST TDCi it puts it against the A4 and the 3 Series BMW......And like they said, If your not worried about what your neighbours think then the Ford is THE best buy

I AM worried about what the neighbours think though
I don't want them to think '' look at that twat next door only spent Ł15k on a bloody mondeo with big wheels and max power bolts ons'' as opposed to ''look dear, he next doors just bought a new Audi, BMW, Merc etc'', no other details matter

Seeing as I don't need it day to day I could buy an escos for the same money
