Hello all... just joined as I'm seriously looking at the 6 MPS to replace my current Mondeo ST220. The ST has been a great car (helped by a few tweaks) but things change and we need something with AWD, but I like my cars relatively discrete. Prices and mileage seem to vary massively... there can be as much as £2000 difference for a same age and mileage car, but at different ends of the country! I'm reading the buying guides and threads on here, but any extra advice or pointers are appreciated. Spotted a couple at a dealer (Avon Valley) and just wondered if anyone knew either car?

I'm amazed that one dealer has two 6MPS. You are lucky to find two per county. Best of luck.

The one in the picture has 6 disc changer. The other has an extra line of buttons, that has the 20gb hard drive, which is about as useful as the 6 disc, if not a little worse.

Thanks for the info. I don't suppose there is anyone in Northamptonshire that fancies taking me for a spin sometime? Happy to return the favour by way of a blast in my toy car
