Price adjustment, car is now MOT'd!
There seems to be an increase in the amount of knob heads on ebays these days, 3 out of 4 auctions I've had recently have been won by idiots who obviously don't want the things they bid on! I think I'll avoid listing items on there from now on....
Anyway, my latest ebay failure is my Dad's 1998 Ford Mondeo ST24.
Its been his car for nearly 2 years and its done him proud. Its deffinitly the sportiest my dads looked in years
Anyway I'll kick off with the bad points;
It has an occasional erratic idle, can idle fine for 5 minutes, then will decide to rev between 1400rpm and 500rpm and can sometimes cut out. Probably just a dirty idle control valve.
Central locking plays up, remote on key doesn't work, you have to unlock the passenger door to unlock all other doors, sometimes needs a few attempts with the key to operate.
My dad had a very low speed bump in to the back of another car on a roundabout, the front bumper has a crack in it along with the grille and the fog light surround is missing.
Paint is a bit flat in places but it is red afterall!
Slightly scabbing on rear arches.
But on the plus sides, it drives well, engine is healthy and pulls well, has 4 legal tyres, the alloys are in a decent condition, the interior is in decent nick, has age-less number plates, had new alternator, battery and clutch within the passed year, oil, air filter and spark plug change within the passed 2 months. I'd imagine it would go through another MOT with ease but as a replacement car has already been purchased a simple quick sale would be prefered.
Will these be one of the price boom Fords of our times?
*Now has 12months MOT* The Tax is until the end of February.
