CPJ's Wifes New Mondeo

[cpjitservices]

My Wife has picked up a new car!

2007 Mondeo GHIA TDCI 2.0 - 150k, drives like its almost brand new!  No knocks, bangs or untoward noises! Runs very sweet and smooth. It pulls very nicely indeed! Needs a cleanup, which a frine of mine will be detailing on Tuesday and weather protecting it.  Full MOT

Big Car!

 

Not bad for £1k.

Bargain! Even mk3s are still fetching that kind of money if not more. 

[Eyersey1234]

Looks like a bargain you have there CPJ. 

[Broadsword]

Great price for one of those. Handsome cars and no doubt drive great like previous generations of Mondeo.

I know, Bizarre! Whether it's supposed to have Alloys I've no idea. I suspect so.

The guy we bought it from got it at car auctions bit was too big for him, so I suspect someone nabbed the Alloys before Auction.... 4 recent tyres though... Loads of tread in all the right places!

May have been kerbed to Hell so swapped for whatever they could get, don’t think the originals are particularly sought after. But on such a bargain who cares?

[Snipes]

Not winter tyres are they?

[Bren]

They are a very nice car. My father has an identical one. His has the problem where it will randomly cut out - there does'nt appear to be a cure.

Would like an estate but you can't get a decent one for £1k.

This was on Autotrader for 1150, I haggled him down to a grand.
Bargain.

very nice for a bag of sand... almost same i paid for my late mk3

[Wingz123]

Seem to remember a friend of mine (who is a mondeo nut) saying that these have plastic cambelts due for change at 120k? I really am racking the old memory bank there as must have been about 3 or 4 years ago he told me that.....

Good value for money these cars. 

[sierraman]

They do but he might be on about the two belt system on the 1.8td which people never bother changing.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard that. Or ‘wife doesn’t like it’

Where’s the “bullshit in car adverts” thread when you need it?

still, if it runs and drives well you can’t go wrong

LOL yes drives absolutely fine to be honest!

THe only thing the wife doesnt like is, the mirrors are not wide enough!

[sierraman]

Get it sold then! ?

[Wingz123]

Buy some caravan mirrors for it LOL!

[sierraman]

Chucked some mirrors for a Foden rigid in a skip last month. They’d have done. 

[cpjitservices]

Im sure she will get used to it lol, mirrors on the Passat are fairly wide! Which shes been driving a lot.

[myglaren]

Brother had one and liked it a lot, he was particularly tickled by the satnav, which was exceedingly polite.

Not without some regret changed it for a CR-V to drag a new caravan around with.
