    In the press yesterday my local Ford dealers were advertising the same deal on KA's £4995 for basic model and £5695 for one with power steering.

    Don't understand this as they have fitted power steering to all models for a few years now as standard.

      Thanks for that Poppy. May I ask which dealership was promoting the offers please?

      Cheers

      Just looked on Autobytels website and it says that the 1.3i ka, the basic one at £4996 + Metalic paint does have power sterring, can any one confirm this ?
      Also have seen an ad for a local ford dealership offering a 1.3i 16v for £5495 http://www.gkford.co.uk/newcars_ford.htm is this a better deal?
      thanks

      It was in the South Wales Evening Post Motorpost and is headed:

      Can't read the small print it's too small!!

      I don't know and don't care. I only ask if I'm interesting in buying a particular car. Musts for me are central locking, electric windows and power steering, oh and CD player!!!
