Goodbye (for now)
The 147 has finally gone after 168,000 miles over 4 years 8 months - for
princely sum of £1600. A year of Ford ownership while the economy sorts itself out (touch wood) and lease prices come down to something resembling sensible for 40K pa users! |

And a fairly decent sale price, given the mileage. > A year of Ford ownership while the economy sorts itself out (touch wood) and > lease prices come down to something resembling sensible for 40K pa users! I've had a Kia Rio 2 hire car for a week.... now, I believed it to be a heap of ****e when it was delivered, but I've caned it to within an inch of its life this week and almost enjoyed it. I can see why Ford are in trouble, as the list price for it is £4k less than that of an equivalent Fiesta. Anyway, back to my point.... I've got a Focus 1.6 TDCI cominf tomorrow morning, as all new car orders are on hold for a few weeks, so I had to take something from the pool. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Alfa 156 TSpark Sportwagon Veloce Selespeed Alfa 75 TSpark Lusso - Ducati 750SS - <Company car pending> |

Yeah, I was quite please - was expecting a grand or so. > >> A year of Ford ownership while the economy sorts itself out (touch wood) >> and >> lease prices come down to something resembling sensible for 40K pa users! > > I've had a Kia Rio 2 hire car for a week.... now, I believed it to be a > heap of ****e when it was delivered, but I've caned it to within an inch > of its life this week and almost enjoyed it.

Yep - these days the gap between cheaper brands and expensive has come down massively in terms of quality etc... but the price differentials are still there... > > Anyway, back to my point....

Not too bad really (although doesn't compare to the 147 of course!) and it'll do for a while.... |
