1. Spend time researching the vehicle- good points, bad points
speak to people such as enthusiasts off internet forum's for
tips and help.
2. I arrange to view a couple of cars on a day so speak to the
sellers on the phone/email/text and obtain as much information
about the vehicles as possible (the information you get from
them, gather the information and write it down this is a good

The interior is in great condition for age and mileage wear, the front recaro's hug you as you drive round corners, in my ST24 I have a half leather/fabric interior which also helps with the comfort factor of the car. The car ...

Advantages: Acceleration and speed Disadvantages: Air conditioning and CD multi-changer
I drove a Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 24V Ghia throughout the summer as a company car. My first impressions of the car were that it was very understated, indeed there were only two small V6 badges on the sides of the car to signify the car's potential to would be joy-riders. I found this to be a major advantage both on the road, where other drivers were often mistaken into thinking that I was driving a run of the mill 1.8 or 2.0, as well as when the car was ... ...position under the passenger seat to be awkward and irritating.
Overall, I think that the Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 24V Ghia is certainly a car to be considered. It represents good value for money if you do not mind the stigma of two blue ovals parked on your drive. ...

Advantages: Plenty of power and comfort Disadvantages: Quite thirsty
I've had my ST24 for more than a year now and all in all it's not a bad car. The model I have is the estate version which itself is quite rare because if your going to buy a ST24 2.5 V6 you will probably be expecting a 'fast/sporty' car and opt for the saloon or hatchback.
This cars intension is a work horse, when the seats fold down you have near enough a flat 6 foot length and the height is a great advantage for fitting larger more bulky objects. ... ...ideal for a dog or two but you will require the rear seat guard. So as far as the size practicallity the engine has plenty of grunt, the estamated speeds are approimately 7.9 sec to 60, this is for the lighter more aerodynamic verison, I believe the estate wil be around 8.3 sec to 60. But who cares about the 0 - 60, this car is designed for mid-range grut, moterway driving is excerlent it is as smooth as a nut, this is what the car excells in. On ...

Ford dealers don't seem to be any better or any worse than the rest, but they are cheap. 'Minor' 12,500 miles services are £130 and even the major four year services will cost you less than £200. I had a few things replaced under warranty, included a heated rear screen. Tyres are expensive, and their life depends very much on the brand.
As I said, don't buy a 2.5 anything if you want good petrol consumption. Otherwise the ...

Advantages: Quick, comfortable, value for money. Disadvantages: Fuel consumption, insurance costs.
I have owned a v6 Mondeo for over a year now.
I find it comfortable and easy to drive. It’s also fun at the lights when you leave unsuspecting BMW drivers in your wake.
This car is not a sports car but it is fast enough for a bit of fun. This is a heavy car therefore don’t expect too much.
It is also expensive to run in my experience you can expect no more than 34mpg, and when pushed expect that to drop to less than 23mpg. Insurance ... ...NCB and I pay over £700 per year.
If you can justify the running costs the Mondeo offers excellent value for money, the extras you get on the ghia are outstanding. I have not experienced any major mechanical problems, but have had a few minor electrical problems, nothing to put me off buying this car.
In conclusion do not buy this car if you are on a tight budget as the running costs are to high but if you want a comfortable, quick and good value ...

Advantages: Comfort,speed,low running costs Disadvantages: Parts pricey if you use dealers
I bought this Ford Mondeo 24v Ghia X over a year ago.
Having previously owned both the 1.6 and 1.8 hatchbacks I thought this would just be another Mondeo. How wrong I was, this is luxury motoring at a fraction of the cost.
Anyone who likes speed with comfort and relatively low running costs will benefit from owning this type of car. A word of warning though, source replacement parts from independents rather than dealers, this will save you in the ...

Bought one 18 months ago, then not quite 3 years old for £6K, imac condition, 80,000 miles thought it high at the time but we've had 20k on top, all trouble free. Bit pricey to insure but shop around and even in the city 900 quid buys you fully comp. Loads of fun to drive, best at 5,000 rpm when it sounds great. 60 is had in uner 8 secs, still feels confident at 140, 30mpg on reg lead free. All this with 5 reals seats, air traction, recaro's...... ...
