mossj88 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 My partner is insisting that it's not "learner friendly" so I'm having to get rid of the best car I've ever owned... I'm looking for £3,500 (or a near offer) or bid on ebay from £2,000: 2004 FORD MONDEO ST220 SILVER | eBay Collection from Leicester City Centre Key Points Low mileage (66,000) Full service history 11 Months MOT, Recent Service October 2014 New DMF and Clutch at 64,844 miles (these tend to go at 70,000, so I had it done early) All four tyres under a year old (plenty of tread left) All discs/pads changed less than year and a half ago, and on Halfords Autocentre lifetime guarantee Apart from air filter, spec is as it came out of the factory (no boy racer modifications) Other nice points Sunroof and A/C for the warm days Heated front seats and front/rear windows for the cold days Red Leather Recaro interior Sony 6 CD multichanger/radio with Auxiliary port in glove box (factory fitted) Dog cage in back (although I never used it for dogs, so no dog smell) - can be removed if buyer wishes Loads of paperwork detailing work over the years and all the owners manuals Estate car so insurance won't bankrupt you http://i.imgur.com/wslDd6J.jpg
mac_shinobi Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Maybe if I had the money but just wanted to say I love the location of the photo with the Morrison's sign behind saying "Miles better value" !! Not sure if that was done on purpose or not lol ?
mossj88 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 I wish I could say it was on purpose but I only noticed when I started editing out the number plates...
Oaktech Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Not learner friendly... Pfffftttt... My friend learnt to drive in her dad's Jag XJS. Didn't do her any harm!
Gibbo Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I learnt in a Toyota Carina estate, instructor said it was much better to learn in a large "powerful" car than over a piddly little thing then be out of your depth when you passed.
mossj88 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 Because I live city centre the physical size and height of the car is the real issue for her. Even for an estate it's on the large side (it's longer/wider than stock Mondeo estates which aren't exactly small). I've already bought a cmax which is a little smaller and a little higher (and a lot easier to drive), once she gets used to that and a year or two no claims I might go back to an ST if finances permit.
