Chris Put down a deposit on a 2008 V50 D5 with some good options and 69k on it today. Even my wife gets this purchase
Chris Thanks Mike. Better let my wife get the hang of it first before a tune, she drives a 1.3 litre Yaris
Chris Thanks guys, I was pretty pleased to get the combo of D5 with low K's in a good colour with options like leather and rear PDC among others. Couldn't get the dealer to drop much at all but I was OK with the price anyway and these are not easy to find so I didn't hang around.
Chris So, picked up the V50 yesterday. Generally very happy and the missus has approved so that helps. Performance in standard tune is strong and I'm told it has a nice burble from outside. Had an on site bumper repair at the dealer though and the overspray is epic, so guess what I've been doing most of yesterday and today? Wouldn't trust the idiot who did it to rectify it so decided to fix it myself. Now respectable. The bigger concern is that I listed my Focus on Carsales and got not one bite. It is fairly priced against the competition and should have appeal given the k's and condition but nope, nothing. Maybe the manual is scaring people off even though the dodgy PowerShift on the petrol autos is one to avoid for sure. Hope this changes soon.
