If you can get that much for it you'll be doing REALLY well. Last year I got my Dad a 1 owner 53 plate Mondeo TDCi Ghia X with 72K on it for £2100, and reluctantly have to admit that it's better built, better equipped, more refined/comfortable and more economical.
He's now not getting the use out of it because he's nearly 85, so has said he'll probably let me have it this year because he'll get a mobility scooter - providing I give him half what I get for mine. It's a no-brainer really when mine has 152K on it - I'd be daft not to.
I love my ZS - it's been a fantastic car to me, but I have to be realistic and acknowledge that if it hadn't been for it being a bargain in the first place, and because of owning a ZR TD previously I know that they cost peanuts to run, I doubt I'd have made it here.

Shame it has come to this considering the amount of work and effort put in, but needs must etc. Good luck with the sale, has the best of everything right there.

I must see dozens of mondeos everyday, I hardly ever see any ZS's and very rarely a Mk2.

We used to call my dads mondeo "the pea green boat"
It was pea green and handled like a boat.

Come on fellas - this isn't a thread about Mondeos....
Good luck with the sale - plenty of time and effort spent on it.

Thanks for the comments guys. At the end of the day I won't let her go at a stupid price ( no matter what the other half says Lol). I do think it is a fair price for the amount of time, effort and cost that has gone into making her what she is today certainly has been a hobby.

could be interested, i think i will watch for a bit, see if anyone else states an interest, as it is a keen price for mileage and age, with a cam belt change due, and leaky power steering hoses,
it is a very nice car though!!!
