Who owns a Mondeo ST220 / ST TDCI?

Yeah, I'd doubt the dealer could be convinced to drop the price by £500+ either.
Only estate I've seen lately is a black one near Glasgow with TERRIBLE aftermarket alloys so unless it's that....
Wow, your area really does suck for cars close by.....
Only ones I could find besides the black one you posted are This (which is over budget) and This which is 2002 and black wheels
Only other way to get a good deal is to travel. Plenty of bargains out there.

In my area? That second one is in Sunderland which is 280 miles by road.
It's beginning to look like I'll just have to take a day or two off work and spend a night in a hotel and just have a good look around England. I like to take my dad with me though as his knowledge is waaay better than mine but he dislikes travelling so far to look at a car.

I think it would be easier to get a passenger seat out of another car and take the element out of that wouldn't it ?
I have stripped the driver's seat down on mine once it was a PITA but not difficult. I had same problem as you, I repair mine and the repair has lasted about 10 months before giving up the ghost again.
I want to get a passenger seat pad as that is likely to have had less use (or at least that is my reasoning)
Going to get my ST220 today, got to go up to Huddersfield to get it later on this afternoon (about a 3 hour drive from me). Will put up some pictures when I get home.
Can't wait, having been stuck with a Galaxy for the last couple of months since some little person decided to write off my 3.2 V6 Vectra.
Anyway, the ST is a 56 plate and has done 57k miles. It is silver (would have preferred blue, but the rest of the car is how I wanted it, heated leathers etc).

Cleaned the car after work. Seem to of picked up quite a few scratches in the last 2 week. Funnily enough it is since I have stopped parking at the back of the carpark or taking 2 spaces up etc.
Almost at 80k now so 3.5k miles in a month n half.... No wonder my pockets are feeling lighter lately.

This estate could tempt me back into the ST220 fraternity. Stunning

Youre probably right fella. I bought mine for 3k last year albeit with 69k on the clock. Is this worth double? Obviously not. Still a cracking looking ride though.
Picked up the car just before 5pm tonight and literally walked in the door about half hour ago, been a long day! I will get some pictures up tomorrow once I have taken some.
The only fault so far I can see is that the CD player will not read any CD. You load the CD in and it just comes up with Check CD. I have tried numerous CD's just incase one was scratched, but no joy. I will phone the dealer tomorrow, hopefully they can suggest something as I really don't fancy a 4 hour trek back up north to have it looked at!
Other than that it drove beautifully. Didn't really go any speed as I had both my kids and wife in the car, but was very smooth.
Yeah the tax isn't nice, but we have just gone down to 1 vehicle from 2, so in theory the tax we are paying out in total will be about the same. Wife wasn't too impressed how much the tax cost though.

Not a fan of the red seats but that's a matter of taste. Otherwise it seems like a great example. Low mileage which is getting rarer and rarer on these cars (obviously). Xenon headlamps and parking sensors look to have been added which are desirable.This estate could tempt me back into the ST220 fraternity. Stunning
I agree with Rybo that it's overpriced though.
Don't worry too much about the stereo - it's not that great anyway (both in sound and features). Spend £300 or so on a nice new double-din with bluetooth support. Maybe could get the garage to contribute a bit towards it.
