Ford Mondeo Mk2 2.0 Ghia X Saloon


My Ford Mondeo Mk2 2.0 Ghia X Saloon
Purchased 14th December 2005

This is my newest purchase and the newest car I have owned. Like all my cars it took a while before I found the right one. I wanted a saloon as you do not see as many as the estate and hatchback versions. In the end I found this one for sale in Autotrader and it was based in Chigham. This was the first time that I'd bought a car at night, so went equipped with a torch to have a good look. It was in really good condition and had just 86k on the clock with a full dealer stamped history.

Just like the Granada it's got all the toys and is really comfortable. The heated front windows and heated seats are very nice on a frosty morning as there's no more de-icer needed! As it's a Ghia X these are some of the extra's you get..

Full leather

Heated front seats

6 Disc CD changer

Electric Sunroof

Climate Control

Traction control

Cruise

16" Alloys

I was undecided if the boot looked a bit bare without a spoiler (Ford RSAP), but I've left it as it was mainly because of a lack of time and money.

The suspesion really needs to be dropped as it looks like its on stilts and wears the outside edges of the front tyres badly. I know some of the bushes on the front end are worn as well, as it all feels a bit loose - i knew i couldn't ignore the lower wishbones forever.
