...I've bought a new car!
Well, as I said before, the MK6 Escort had been bought as a summer hack about and I had always said I would very possibly change it, and that time has come!
Sadly I think it will be getting broken up and sold in bits to recoup the maximum amount of money, but some parts will go on to help get the MK5 running, so all is not lost.
Anyway, I knew I wanted something newer, and with the amount of motorway miles I was doing, it absolutely had to be an oil burner. I wanted a MK3 Mondeo, but was struggling to find something, but when this came up, I just couldn't say no. It seems to have been an absolute steal at the price I paid.
Only one picture for now...
I know I know :lol: Anyway, it's a 1.9 CDTI SXI, 04 registered. Ex-fleet car so quite high mileage, but seems to drive ok (though utterly hopeless off boost). It's quiet, comfortable and massive inside.
With the price I paid, I'm sorely tempted to tidy it up a bit and sell it on to get a Mondeo TDCI, but I'll see how I get on, it's only a daily driver after all. Newest car I've owned by a long long way!
Will add more pictures tomorrow perhaps. Body work needs some attention in areas, but it's all easily dealt with.
I'm sure I'll get plenty of stick, and I probably deserve it, but oh well
