Hi,

My Dad's ancient (but incredibly reliable) Mondeo has finally died, thanks to a huge lump of metal in the road that my Dad unfortunately thought was a dead Pheasant :eek:

So he is wanting a replacement and has his heart set on a new shape Focus. He doesn't need anything sporty, just something that has good economy and can comfortably pull his boat on a trailer and wants to spend around £10,000.

Trade Sales in Slough list a "New Shape 1.6 TDCi (110) Sport 5dr Hatchback Manual" 06/2006 plate with 16K miles for £9,499.

Is this a good price? Are there any other Focus's that he may be better off with? He hasn't had a diesel before, but is there any reason why he shouldn't go for one?

He lives in Nantwich, Nr Crewe. Are there any good car supermarkets around there? I assume he would be better off avoiding the Ford dealerships?

Thanks for any thoughts :)
 
i drive my dads 1.6 115BHP new shape focus (06 plate)...(its a ghia... :o )

They are great cars, although his is a petrol.
