Meh company Ford Mondeo ST-Edition !!!SOLD!!!

[DJdan]

well then.

 

i have spoken about it earlier but here is my company car :D

 

this also is a temporary replacement of the E36M 3.2L

 

this is actually a rare car

 

its a 2002 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI ST-Edition

 

it has all the options modern day BMW's have such as

 

Automatic Gearbox

Automatic Aircon

electric seats which are heated too

satnav which works

Xenon headlights

cruise control

Ford Exclusive audio sound

lowered by Ford

Original ST bumper kit

 

apparently only 3 were fitted with these ST-edition packs in holland.

but its the only one with all these options at the time because were talking about a 10 year old car.

 

according to Ford the car should do 190 kph because of the Auto but mine does 215kph

 

also it has pretty big 225 18" wheels at the front and originall rare 245 18" wheels at the back

 

but for now here are some shots i took when i just got it

Looks like it has the wheels like you'd see on a Zetec-S over here.

 

I like that shape Mondeo more than the new one. If I was to have one I'd go for the full-fat ST220 though, obviously the ST doesn't make much sense as a company car with it being a petrol and a V6 one at that :lol:

 

Nice car :)

That's an awesome looking Mondeo! I remember we rented a Mondeo wagon when we visited England, it was nice.

How much do you have on the clock? These cars have a lot of kilometres on it.

Why is there wider tires at the back of a front wheel drive car? :D And those wide tires are bad for fuel economy aswell which i would imagine is the point of having a diesel. But if the company is paying then who cares :D

 

I'm not a Ford fan but i suppose these look alright, and special editions are nice to have :)

thanks for the comments here

i wondered this as well but according to Ford this performance pack lowered the front more and gave it wider wheels at the back in order to fight understeer.

 

and it kinda works since i can go faster round a corner than the average 5-series here and when you do push it the rear breaks out first!!!

 

so its kinda weird how this car handles as a FWD but meh who cares as long as i can beat BMW's and MErc worth over 5 times as this then i dont mind.

 

also the is fairly economical though it uses about 10L/100km at this point (26.0 MPG (UK)) and its my own bussiness so i pay for it however i dont have to pay the taxes over the fuel and such

That doesn't make any sense at all :P

 

10L/100 is a lot! My petrol 406 uses about 8L/100km. 5-7L/100km on a diesel is alright tho, anymore than that i don't see the point in having a diesel at all. Maybe taxes and diesel is cheaper over there, idk.

 

Im not being mean im just saying what i think :D

its okay

 

but i was puzzeld by their thinking too.

 

i knew that lowering the front makes the car less prone to under steer but the rear wheels make no sense but its rare and who cares :D

 

and the reason for this diesel is that i get about 90% of my taxes back and per litre i pay about €1.30 instead of €1.75 for petrol

[RX_37]

Okay. Well if you're interested in some stats the fuel price for diesel here is about 1.42 € and for 95E petrol it's 1.55 €. Which is way too much :(

[DJdan]

wow diesel is cheap here i know that but thet patrol price is like dream to us dutch people..

 

anyway i did a new fuel consumption test and i now can do about 8~8.5L/100KM

 

the change is because the Diesel filter was replaced :D

[RX_37]

Ah, that sounds nice :)

[DJdan]

a great plot twist here.

 

around mid december i made an announcement that would get a BMW M car

 

unfortunatley i am going through the worst time of my life right now hence the reason i barely come here now.

 

however as of today i have sold this Mondeo as a lot of trouble came up such as a faulty turbo. i decided to sell it while the next owner wont notice and buy a different car

 

however i will be picking up my new car somewhere upcomming week and it isnt a BMW M car since i dont have the funds for it however it kinda is a car which i always loved.

 

more about that car SOON

Hope your problems will be solved! ;)

[DJdan]

Hope your problems will be solved! ;)

 

yeah im working on it but considering the damage en problems i have i will probably take me almost entire 2012 to fix it

 

but atleast im bought a new car

[DJdan]

new car is to arrive this week or the following week

 

and i cant wait for the BMW
