A deal has been done the vRS is leaving me forever
« on: July 07, 2010, 05:03:00 pm »
as you mightknow ive been looking at selling up for ages, but change my mind a few times.

I recently was looking into getting a Mondeo St220, however i was slightly peeved that the insurance for a £5000 standard 220Hp ST220 was £45/month more than a stage 2+ vRS with loads of modifications worth £10k.  they also refused to add my wife to the insurance for anything less than £200 a year

anyway was looking about another garage and they have offered me £8700 for my car and they wil do all the servicing, brakes and tyres off their own back,  so realistically they have offered me £10000 for my car, which im over the moon with. 

Ive just put a deposit down on a 55 plate mondeo TDCI130 ghia X.  Shocking i hear you say, however it leaves me with just about enough money to buy something like a clio 172 for track days.  which to be fair was my original plan.

Should be in possession of the car at the end of july, as i'm going away next week with work and cant sort it out sooner.

if it helps im already in the process of sorting a map via ben @ sharkperfomance as the STS handset can be used on the ford as well.  so should be able to run it at abut 155-165hp which isnt so bad :sad1:

was quite amusing i took it out and thrashed the hell out of it, and managed 34.7mpg, same route after in the octavia left me with 17.1mpg
