After 8 years of very dependable service our Focus came to the point where, for once, it was starting to cost £££ to keep it going. So we went out and bought another one.
Another Focus Estate, this time a diesel.
New ones went up £2K in April, so 'used' was the (and should always be) the way to go. We'd looked around the usual places for a used car and were horrified at the lack of choice. :-(
Ford do their own on-line used car thing called Ford Direct. I can highly recommend it, just select the dealer you pick up your car from... the final price includes shipping and admin, so dealers charge more than others. We saved £300 by using Gordons Ford in Wigan over our local dealer. ;-)
