Good price for Mondeo

Richard571

Hi All,

Looking for a well specced Mondeo - the link below is a '09 Titanium X, approx 49k miles asking for €13.5k - this seems a good price - is 2.0 D not sure about the engine but I know it has higher road tax.

Is this well priced? Any issues with the car?

It seems well priced, miles are low too and its in a nice colour. The think the co2 on the 2.0 is 156 so it will be band D, but it has good power

The Titaniums 2.0TDCi were tax band d upto early 2010 which means they are just under €500 to tax. Seems well priced, its a UK import so make sure you do a detailed background check to verify the low mileage.

I'd say the price is resonable considering the spec very high titanium is top spec as far as I know

Titanium X Sport is actually the highest spec available in the Mondeo but was never sold here.

Im not that keen on that grey colour -not that it would put me off if everything else was good about it though

The Reason they were never sold here is because they were nearly €50,000 new Some car all the same....

She is a cracker! What would be the MPG on it?

Might take a spin down Kerry to have a spin in her!

If you are really interested in this particular car then contact the dealer and get the original UK/NI reg from him. Contact any main Ford dealer in UK/NI and ask when the car was last services and at what mileage. They will have it on their computer.

I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with it, but just check and make sure.

Also, how easy is it to see the kph on the clock in both daylight and night time. If it's easy then no problem, but if its hard and you are tryiung to concentrate on driving, it could cost you penalty points if you mistakenly exceed the speed limit.

A diesel Mondeo is not an expensive car to run, even the high powered diesels. I don't know how you can get expensive to run from that - surely it is more expensive to sell it at such a young age and lose a lot on depriciation? A car like that will do low-mid40 mpg all day long.

The Car is for sale by a Garage they imported it to re-sale Not a private individual,

Actually around the corner from me, I pass it every day on my way to work have to say its a real looker, they seem to have all fairly fresh nice English stuff.

You are right in some cases that may well be so, but I called into the Garage one evening to oogle over this and the salesman said garage bought this car directly off Ford UK themselves, seemingly one of their demo's used for their photographs launches of new vehicle etc , a while back same dealer had a 2011 1.6 Diesel Galaxy from Ford with only 50 miles again a launch model, so someone didn't get rid off it beacuse it was too expensive to run,

Hi All,

Thanks all for your comments - went in and did the deal for €13k so happy enough with that. Its got a full service history which checked out and v.happy with all the toys and engine which is very nippy.

Maybe it's just me but I find it hard to believe that Ford UK would sell directly to a garage that is not part of their network, has no landline or even an address more detailed than 'Kerry'

From the ad, it's some of an address :

Gerard Flynn Car Sales, Flynns Garage, Castlemaine, Co Kerry.

Its not a brand new car car so Ford could not give a hoot who sells there used cars..
