    If I was in the market for an almost new car I'd consider it.

    There will be a nice Mondeo for sale next year if you are in the market then:D
    Keep me in mind!

    Went to look at a mustang in Ford Finlay motor group today, A fairly overpriced one at that for a 2016. I must look like a chav because as soon as I mentioned mustang he went on a rant about how they didnt actually own it, they were selling on behalf of a customer and therefore I couldn't look/drive. That was a disappointing 1.5hour return trip :mad:

    I had something similiar happen in Kearys BMW. A complaint to the dealer principal or even the distributor might soften their cough.

    Couldn't be arsed. Like they could've just asked for a credit card deposit, or transfer of insurance.. I dunno, it's not that much of a high end car tbh, maybe they get a lot of people coming in to take cars out for fun. Not sure how you'd sell a car with that attitude tbh.

    Guys in Kerry will get prob my business, very good to deal with so far and that's just on the phone. A long drive to Kerry though and I don't plan on making the journey twice but I haven't test driven the bloody thing yet :pac::pac:

    I'd say they thought you were a test pilot with time to kill looking to get a spin in a Mustang.

    Old man has one. Build quality of them is shocking. Leather seats tore a little after 2 years of use, and much of the plastic comes loose or rattles. The A/C pump is badly placed so it's common for them to get busted by a stone coming through the grill, but don't expect Ford to pick up the tab on that €700 bill.



    You'll get a Golf R for near 10k cheaper, and it'll be worth more come sale time. His Mustang, a 161, is currently being traded in and the most any of the Ford garages will offer is 23k.

    He doesnt' happen to be in the market for a passat?? :D:D:D
    Yeah I know the inside is a bit ****ty, I'm kinda buying for the fun, and the exterior look of it. I've read and watched every review, I think at this stage the only thing that will put me off is if I don't like it to drive

    Yeah, around 57k if I remember correctly.

    Do you know what kind of mileage he has up on it?

    That’s a savage amount of depreciation.
    I thought being a niche car and in high demand when new it would have retained a lot more.

    Trying to buy one isn't so easy or cheap. Although I'm not gonna worry depreciation so much, the one I'm looking has an 200k/5 year warranty. I'll be keeping it for as long as possible
