02 Mondeo Auto - What to look out for?

_Kaiser_ · 2010-11-13 11:07:07

Hey all, Looking around for a new (to the other half) car as the one she has is costing a fortune given the mileage she's doing now and that it's petrol. Other things too - it's a 1.3 Honda Fit (import version of the Jazz) that really isn't intended for much beyond city driving imo. I find it a bit "unstable" at motorway…

Hey all,

Looking around for a new (to the other half) car as the one she has is costing a fortune given the mileage she's doing now and that it's petrol. Other things too - it's a 1.3 Honda Fit (import version of the Jazz) that really isn't intended for much beyond city driving imo. I find it a bit "unstable" at motorway speeds for example.

So I've found a 02 diesel automatic Mondeo with 70k miles on it that seems very well priced with full Ford history, just passed it's NCT and I'm seriously thinking of going to look at it and possibly taking it if it checked out.

Few questions:

- The guy says its Zetec spec but the specs/pictures don't show front fogs. Were these not standard on that trim level or was it in the newer models that that was introduced? It has e/w, alloys, metallic paint etc

- What should I be looking out for when I go looking at it?

- Any other options within a €2500-3000ish budget that meet the requirements of automatic, diesel and saloon?

Cheers!
