The 2.5 5 cylinder Mondeo is rare as rocking horse kack
I've only ever worked on one or too
And I see lots of mondeos
I think your pay a petty penny for one
If that's what you really want
How about a s max with a 2.5 t ?
If your mum finds it difficult to get in/out

they just want a mondeo, 09 plate or newer as this will almost certainly be dad's last car,he may as well have a decent yr  ,plus they both think the mondeo look's really classy,it's there money they can spend it how they want preferably a petrol,atho there are a lot more diesel's for sale,obviously as lot's more diesel's sold to the fleet market mileage not a real issue,condition more important we have sort of discounted the 1.6 because it will struggle with that heavy body,unless you know better they like the s max but don't want another 7 seater,they don't need one what's the 2.3 engine like, i have seen a few of these for sale  they don't want black,solid red or white, as in there opinion non of those colour's do the mondeo justice |

Well I'd want a 2.0 Ecoboost
But there not within your scope/price range
Don't think they do a 2.0 Duratec on these only the 1.6 zetec
Which would be underpowered and not much fun to drive
