They are good, actually any colour looks pretty good but everyone has different tastes! For example a customer just put the Sea Grey on hold! So there you go! But if you would like a quote send me your details through a personal message and I will get someone to help you out.

i think thats it!

So let me get this right Photn. You are going to waltz into the local ford dealer and say ''who hasnt sold many cars this month???''

:

If you dont get laughed at you will probably have the manager approach you and consider you a woodduck and try a finance close at full till.

Sounds like a decent length TEST DRIVE to ensure all parts in working order there.... my last spanking new car had 2.2km on it... Was well impressed by that.

Mmm, I wasn't impressed at all! I reckon that all the sales guys had a thwap of my car!
Wasn't until I'd done 2000 kms that I discovered the spring cocks had been left on the car...
Good PDI procedure huh....WHAT PDI???

Hey Mikey B,

I am sorry that was the case with your delivery. There is no exuse for the spring chocks, but as the vehicles come from a PD department we put spring chocks in them so the truck drivers do not scrape the from bumper and not because we did not do a PD. We would much rather not have the front bumper damaged. Obviously no one took them out for you which is not good at all.

Went on a small car drive day today, XR4, XR5 and TDCi, it was great! Except for the rain. Nothing beats the XR5 for fun. But I tell you what the TDCi is a great little thing as well. I also so the Mondeo in the flesh and it is one nice looking thing! You should see the liftbacks boot space!!!!!
