Default another euroford?

Well it looks possible I might be getting myself into another euroford........sort of. Mrs b2tf is in the market for a new car and she's pretty keen on a Fez.

Looking at around $16-17k onroad, I know that limits us a bit but hopefully we can find something decent for that kind of money. Auto is the first choice but wont say no to a manual, and model doesnt really matter. Obviously want as low kms as we can too.

Oh, and much to my disgust - it cant have mods. Cosmetic stuff is fine, as are wheels (she's mad keen on 16" MP3 style ones), but no engine mods i.e. exhaust etc. Open on colour but ideally black, silver or blue.

So I know thats a bit of a wide range, but hopefully someone can point us in the direction of a good one!

Cheers

b2tf

may see if a dealer can do you a good deal on an LX fiesta. 3-5 dorrs. 5 door is 1000 more i think. you can get the 16" as an option. apart from that try trading post. 16" from the factory is a rip off.

I got my brand new WQ Fiesta LX 3-Door, Auto... no add-ons whatsoever for $18,500 on road. You could probably get the manual one for $17,000 on road.

Are you looking to get it brand new or 2nd hand?

thats a great deal! i think used would suit us a bit better, let someone else pay all the costs :. I'd like to be able to get one drive away for around $18k.

You wont have any problems whatsoever getting a 2nd hand auto Fiesta when you have $17,000 laying around the house.

well, it looks like we may have found one already. after a few PM's on here we found we'd JUST missed some fantastic deals, but thats how it is.

At this stage we're looking at a 3dr WP Zetec, black, 5spd manual and the optinal 16" rims. I wont mention price until the deal is a bit more secure as the owner is on this forum.

So assuming all goes well, there will be 2 black Fords in my driveway soon.
