After getting whined at by my partner as I was using her car all the time I picked up this for £300

1.8 Zetec "black top" 129k miles

Insurance was 110 quid TPFF

Yep that's a bargain mate. Enjoy

300! Fingers crossed its good for you

Looks tidy for that amount. What's wrong with it?

[TW]Fox · 9 Jan 2010 at 11:37

300 quid? Whats wrong with it? Even a ratty heap of Mk1 is worth 300 quid with an MOT let alone a late Mk2 :confused:

£500 can buy you Ghia X's! :eek:

Well no, not really :confused:

Good little workhorse for £300, good find.

Locky · 9 Jan 2010 at 11:39

Nothing wrong with it lol, drives fine, Just had new disc, pads, and CV boot.

if everything is in one piece underneath and under that bonnet then that is indeed a bargain

How come it was only £300? You could 100 quid of that back by Ebaying the CD player alone!

I saw two for sale on AutoTrader one day

Yea great, but the quality varies hugely - that looks at least half decent and it's also an X reg one - the very last and most newest of the Mk2's. The fact you can get a shabby P reg Ghia X is a little irrelevent really. I'm confused as thats a £995 car all day long :confused:

I fitted the CD player and hands free, didn't come with one.

Ricochet J · 9 Jan 2010 at 11:43

Aye, they would be crap at £500. I was merely stating what £500 can buy you regardless of condition. Irrelevant post was irrelevant...

Looks like a billy bargain mate, if it lasts you a year then you have saved a hell of a lot of cash!

Bargain

Nice buy!

Its a rare sight these days to see an old type mondeo without tape holding the bumper together and no rust riddled rear arches.

PinkFloyd · 9 Jan 2010 at 17:33

Damn nice buy, its what I'm trying to find around Bristol at the moment :/ (need to look properly/harder lol)

Adam · 9 Jan 2010 at 17:53

That's awesome. I need to advertise my W reg Mondeo Zetec with 90k on the clock. I had it on autotrader before christmas for £950 and that generated some interest. Unfortunately the bad weather got in the way and it's still sat on my drive.
