Anyone want a Bargain!

[lozz]

Anyone want a bargain,

this is a one off,
my mate as got a 03 reg ford mondeo deisel he paid £3k for it 3 years ago,
its never missed a service, new exhaust brake calipers front springs its had loads spent on it and its not been abused,

hes selling it due to health problems,

He wants £700 for it,
its alovely clean motor and its been his pride and joy but it has to go shortly,

this car is lovely im tempted to buy it my self and make a grand or so profit by selling it on or keep it but id feel greedy doing it id sooner someone else buy it and not have my mate see it if you know what imean it be a bit like rubbing salt in wounds,
ithink,

anyone interested give us a shout

[lozz]

Im going to sleep on this one me thinks confusion time
if the mondeo doesnt sell imight just let my 406 go for pennys and buy the mondeo,

if no interest in the mondeo wouid anyone be interested in my 406 2.0 hdi it is low mileage and as 6mths of each remaining ?

tax.mot,manual,spec,miles etc?

Go for it.

Your mate set the price that he is willing to accept, so IMO you can buy it with a crystal clear conscience if you intend to keep it for a while.

I was tempted to buy it unseen, but I'm 400 miles away so the logistics would be too much hassle

[lozz]

Oh feck it,
iwill keep my 406

sorry amoment of confusion there,
isort of like the mondeos but ilurve the hdi engines so im going to stay put with my 406 me thinks,
And then theres all that Polava of changing insurance over etc mondy wouid be cheaper but its too much hastle,

No its not right mate idont think itwouidnt feel right me having it and then theres all the insurance polava change over to sort out,
its a shame idont have a picture of the car and you wouid understand what imean
the car is mint its not fallen into the wrong hands and been abused like most mondeos do, my mate as kept on top of it and spent every penny he couid on it. if its ever needed a part its been brand new ones,

ichanged the pads on this last year icouid of got him a set of pads all round £30 but he said no,
it had to have mintex all round £98 just for pads, thats just one example,
one of the wheel bearings cost him £90
£350 for the exhaust .
one garage charged him £130 for 2 front droplinks fitted iwas ill at the time or iwouid of fitted them.
a chap comes every year and services it costs him £150 for a service thats just been done,

so all in all hes losing a lot of money but thats the way the cookie crumbles a spose

tax.mot,manual,spec,miles etc?

spec Lx
mot 4mths,
tax void as tax as to be returned to dvla, its disabled tax,
factory fitted towbar.
miles around 148k
its manual,

everything works elecy seat. cd player aircon etc .
this as cam chain so no cambelt change needed

its the same as this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Mondeo-Diese ... 19c54319e4

but my mates is alot cleaner than that one thats a bad example that one

few questions if i may. cant get on ebay to look at the link so please humour me.

where is the car?

is it an estate?

any pics?

if the car is fairly close, and and estate, i am very interested.

[Gary406]

lurch while lozz is away i can answer 2 of those questions for you.

its a hatchback. he posted a link and said its same as that car (in the link)

and its in manchester , lancashire. on the outskirts of ashton

[no2lurch]

thanks gary. i can see the link, but ust cant open it. i'll have a look later i think. cheers

[no2lurch]

couple of more questions please.

is it the 115PS or the 130PS version?

any rust? bottoms of doors and arches?

[Catflem]

I think I can answer the above questions on Lozz's behalf - I've been discussing the car with him via PM's.

Lozz describes the car as mint, and his word is good enough for me, so my guess is that there is no rust.

It is the 115bhp version that has been remapped to 130bhp.

Its an ex CID car, so some of you may have already had a ride in the back of it , and with a bit of luck there'll be an ounce of grass stuffed down the backseat

[no2lurch]

would you mind sending me the pms? is that too cheeky?

cheers.

[Catflem]

cheers.

I'm not comfortable with sending the pm's without Lozz's permission, and most of what I know has already been mentioned, but I don't think he'll have any problems with me relating any facts that haven't already been mentioned in the above posts.

It's Panther Black in colour
has been de-cated
has a 5 speed gearbox

[no2lurch]

no probz mate. thanks for that.

when is lozz back?
