Have to agree with this.

I think that Mondeo looks fine... Although I do think I want a diesel, and the fact its so far away makes it a no. Am working loads at the minute so need to find something more local as I don't have time to do 140 mile round trips to look at cars, sadly.

My current car was outside a house on a residential street with a sign in the window... So no forecourt overheads to pay. Just a family that had a new car and an old one to flog...

just posted as an example of what is out there

You say that you want a diesel then make sure you are aware of all the problems that diesel motors can give

whatever diesel you buy now chances are it will have a dual mass flywheel and it not really a case of will it fail more when will it fail, I had a transit dual mass flywheel fail at 37K cost a fortune to put right

make sure that the diesel you buy doesn't have a DPF diesel particle filter even a dpf that has been regularly regenerated will be very near the end its life when it gets to 100K and also EGR valves will be a potential problem area

good luck with your search lets hope you find a good un

Alright Chris, don't know if you're still after a car but I know someone selling this Audi A4 2.0 TDi 140, S-line spec,estate, full Bentley service history (Bentley rep car) just had cam belt, water pump and service done a few miles though

This was a text I received off a workmate... Turns out the mileage is 192000 and the price is 2.5 grand and it's a stunner.

Mileage might be a bit of a facer, though.

What do you reckon, team?

You're sure it's not an A3 S-Line but with SE bumpers, right?

Nope!

Don't even know what you're talking about to be honest.
