What help do you want - you appear to have already made up your mind
that it is a good deal?

A car with only 4k miles per year must have been owned by a little old
lady who only used it on Sundays to drive to church

Who is Reg Vardy?

In the experience of several people I know, just about the worst
dealer in the country!

Ah, so I'd double-check very carefully if the few miles the car
has, do really match or if there has taken place some
manipulation? Smells somehow...

Yes it does sound good, and I have done a valuation of the Ford on What Car.
It came out as being worth around £6900.
I'm just concerned about the after sales service etc with Reg Vardy having
such a poor reputation. Should I wait & try to get one from a Ford dealer? I
did actually have one lined up at CD Brammell Ford, I had an appointment
yesterday to test drive again and finalise the deal. When I got there, they
had sold it!!
Are all dealers as bad as each other?

Bad luck.;(
 

Dunno, had a hard time finding my Focus at a reasonable price
some years ago, usually Fords are pretty cheap used, only the
Focus doesn't seem to play after this rule.;(

The main problem was I wanted the 2.0l engine in a wagon with
sunroof, which was mostly not available used. 1.4/1.6/1.8l all
over the place, mostly 1.6l, but alas the 2.0l was sold (new)
quite seldom over here.

Finally got one exactly like I was seeking for at some DC
(Daimler-Chrysler) Dealer for a good price and he was more then
happy to have the non DC car finally sold. OK, it took about 3
month searching...

In case of problems with your just bought used car, it's likely
if you bought it at some Ford dealer, they'll fix things fast and
with a little luck for free.

I thought about looking at other dealerships just in case they had one. I
know they are not keen on having other cars on their forecourts.
I think I will give it a couple of weeks. I am hoping there will be a surge
of used ones when the new Reg plate comes out next week.

Found mine through internet searching, the dealer was about 100
km away, but the price was pretty good, so it didn't matter at
all.

Good luck
