2003 Mondeo 2.0 (pez) Zetec

Surprisingly clean and tidy inside and out and bodywork very good.
Seems to be completely standard (inc. radio cassette!)
Four electric windows, alloy wheels etc.

Last owner recons the n/s/r wheel bearing is just starting to show signs of needing replacement.
Two tyres almost on limit (though spare is ace)
N/s/f door has to be locked/unlocked seperately
Handbrake doesn't work

Come and have a test drive and good poke round it or ask someone to do so in your behalf.

£350  now  £300!

Christ. My Swift, a car designed to be cheap over all things, had a CD player from new. Surely putting a cassette player in a mid-sized saloon at the time was a bit tight?

Just done comparethemeertwat and the cheapest insurance is £437 and the priciest is..... wait for it......... £10, 600 with some cunts called Autonet!  Really? Fucking really?

 

It is a fucking 2 litre Mondeo. That is gold paint, not actual fucking gold. What fucking planet are these companies on? I am gobsmacked, utterly gobsmacked. The Rover 75 cost around 120 quid.

Decent. These things seem to be solid, the MOT man will no doubt find it rust free.

 

Sounds like it needs rear new rear calipers for the common FAIL handbrake, and don't expect more than 30 mpg from that 2.0 Duratec. And it won't be fast.

 

Yes, I would.

Work and back in mine does 32-34mpg. If you've driven one and it felt sluggish there must have been something up with it. Not necessarily quick off the mark but mid range it really shifts. Does have DMF but not especially prone to failure. Unlike the diesel.

I'm with Autonet PBK, and it's less than 300 for my 2.5 Volvo.

 

Misquote perhaps?

Better test drive reveals a slight drone from the near side somewhere.

I've genuinely tried to be subjective and fair, but I just cannot get on with it like the Vectra, and I find it cold and sterile.

It's mega clean inside and out and the dashboard is a nice thing to look at.
