At the bottom of that CarSales article re XR5...
Ford in Europe has ceased production of the turbocharged Mondeo XR5, but Ford Australia has secured enough stock to meet customer demand for the next four or five months.
This is contrary to what my local dealer (x2 salesmen) told me a couple of weeks ago......No more, none ever). So I went home and found numerous on the internet ...but interstate. Email enquiry 4pm Sat, response in 15mins, couple of phone calls checking numbers, and sale completed by 5:30 Sat. Full marks to Dale Ford in Sydney.
I'll be driving home next Friday after a week of business in Syd. Woo hoo!!
When my lease runs out, Ford OZ may have provided an XR5 substitute, or I'll go shopping elsewhere. No brand loyalty to modern cars, just my insanity for ancient 40 yr old V6.
