    Im considering buying 1 of these and this 1 has caught my eye. Its in a Volkswagen dealers. Its the older TDDi engine and not the TDCi as advertised. But the TDDi is a good reliable engine so im not fussy which engine i get, The TDCi in the van is 100bhp compared to 90bhp in the TDDi so theres only gonna be 10bhp difference in the 2 different van models.

    Is it a bit expensive, i`d prefer if it was nearer the 10grand mark but i know its from a dealers and all but still. Im looking for a red 1 so cant afford to be too picky. I wont be trading in against it.

    Any feedback for me? And any opinion on that particular dealer even?
    Cheers :)

    Its defnitely the TDDi, you can see it on the badge in the picture. I also emailed them toa sk and they said its the TDDi. Often with car/vans the changes that the cars get like a newer engine dont occur in the vans for a year or so later, etc...

    Tell them they can keep the "rear head rests" as stated in the ad and knock €750 off the price because of it.:rolleyes: :D:D

    Just did a search on carzone and any 04 focus vans in red come in between €13,950:eek: :eek: and €12,000 with the same or similar mileage. So at least in comparison that price ain't too bad.

    Very rare to find a MkI Focus van with the TDCi engine.

    Haven't dealt with Newcastle West Autos myself but I know a few people who have bought cars from them and as VW dealers go they are not bad.
