After a few more enquiries we have decided to keep the Territory for a while longer. The trade in values at the moment are a joke. Not that I expect a million bucks but when they are in the mid to high teens for a 3 year old car with 30K on the clock im pretty disappointed. I'll go the private sale route and see what we can achieve that way.
It seems that after the "mid year" sales the dealers seem to be complacent and one dealer even went as far as saying "if you don't wanna pay that, someone else will" !!!! I drive a hard bargain but I don't think I was being unreasonable by any measure.
Anyway there will be a nice Moondust Silver or Frozen White Zetec TDCi wagon waiting for us around xmas methinks, or am hoping anyway. Reading some of the UK forums there are some horrendous wait times (6 - 7 months) for Mondeo at the moment which would no doubt flow on to us. I just hope this isn't the case as the old supply vs demand certainly keeps the prices high.
