Lovely, lovely car Phil

Do you mind if I ask what price bracket that was in? I still get it in the neck when the wife tries to put our nipper in the rear of the csl and 4 doors would solve a lot of grief

You'll get one only a few years old for around 20-25K if you hunt about.

New mondeo money, stupidly good value!

I disagree really, even a tired high milage example is going to fetch 20K, and he says he paid 28K, losing 8K over a few years of luxury motoring isnt really too bad, and realistically if he keeps it tidy and doesnt do mega miles, it wont even drop that much.

Its the first owners who get stung
