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.

Its still a Mondeo at end of the day lol...Goes round corners like a snow plow and has no personality......

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.

Sorry to see you selling up, but as others have said needs must.
It is a good price for the spec, but as already said, there are currently lots of cars out there in that price bracket - hope you are not after a quick sale and can hold out for your asking price

No disrespect, but seeing cars that have sold on ebay, autotrader, etc, surely its only worth 2200 tops, WITH belts and power steering hoses done? as above no disrespect, just an observation-question ?

I commented on it saying about the hard work gone into it and they shot me straight back down.
