cpjitservices Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 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. privatewire, Stevebrookman, scdan4 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Bargain! Even mk3s are still fetching that kind of money if not more. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Great price for one of those. Handsome cars and no doubt drive great like previous generations of Mondeo. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpjitservices Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 steels on an ghia 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! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthbay Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 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. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingz123 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 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. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 They do but he might be on about the two belt system on the 1.8td which people never bother changing. Wingz123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 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. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
