A silver 16 plate Mondeo estate titanium - 22400 miles from Ford dealer. It's a petrol so much rarer at the moment than diesel (and no-one wants the 1.5 diesel). I did see others better value but they are hundreds of km away and local buying is more useful when things go wrong.

Downside is we need to borrow to buy so the dealer HP or highstreet, the later is cheaper by over £100 a month but HP is secured on the car so can hand back if payment issues and can pay early with no fees which we hope to do around Oct/Nov. But fees are now controlled.

We didn't want to borrow but my VM shares are no longer growing as they were in Jan and we need the bigger car before October. My wife's Fiesta would be too tight for our camping holiday.
