Opinions on this Mondeo?

[Ste99]

Going to look at this during the week hopefully, 51 reg Mondeo Ghia X 2.0TD asking price £3,290, is there anyone kind enough to offer some opinions on this and what to look out for?

Currently have a 2005 Punto, 22 y/o 0 NCB, do around 12k miles/yr

Thanks

Should be able to get an 03 plate for that sort of money.

£3k for an 8 year old mondeo seems rather a lot!

if you're only doing 12k a year, you don't need a diesel

I like those zetec's you linked to, I'll keep an eye out for ones like that local to me. I assumed that the Ghia would have all the toys in however those examples seem to have a similar spec but minus leather.

I've read about the false economy of diesels when doing under 30k/year, petol and diesel are currently both 99.9p/litre by me and even if diesel went back up I wouldnt have minded as I'm after a bigger, comfier and better specc'd car for the next year or so until I can save for something better.

Thanks for the replies so far.
