I had exactly the same experience with a Ford dealer years ago. Mentioned it on the phone, mentioned it again when dropping the car in, and also left a note in the car. But it got washed. The paintwork wasn't as trashed as the OP's but it did introduce a load of marks that weren't there...

'69 plate will be the mk4, not the mk3 that started in 2012. I have a facelift mk3 and I love it, but I haven't had much experience with the mk4. @Janesy B has one, he will be able to advise more.

A high performance sports car that costs a fortune each year in insurance, tax, depreciation, and servicing costs while getting little use? Yeah it's probably worth moving it on. A cheap to run, practical Seat Leon? Keep it. If your partner doesn't drive, you'll soon miss the ability to do so.

I bought my Focus from Skoda main dealer (of all places) and part-ex'd my Mondeo at the same time. The salesman was decent. We had a chat, I told him the cost to change that I would like to achieve, and we shook hands on a deal we were both happy with. I was about £600 better off which isn't...

Had mine for a year now, and still absolutely love driving it. Here's a couple of new photos.

When I had my Mondeo I only paid between £250 and about £280 for my Powershift services. I guess costs have gone up.

Defender driver was going too fast considering how close he was to the cyclists, but other than that, a non-event.

Completely standard ones that aren’t worn out :)

Time for some new number plates now.

That's quite a low amount. After tax and NI you'll probably see about £160 of that per month. If you're going brand new, this pretty much restricts you to city cars. Are there any restrictions on the type/age of the car, should you take the allowance? If not, then you could use it toward a...

I'm not sure it is him who is doing that right now.

Deep Impact Blue is indeed the best mk3 colour

The requirement for it to be black is the stand-out thing here... Talk about a glutton for punishment!

A clean, well-specced, completely unmolested mk2 ST. A very rare sight. Lovely :)

Had the Motorsport Developments 280bhp remap installed on my Focus. A modest 30bhp up from standard, but quite a considerable increase in torque - from 260 to 340 lb-ft. It's transformed it. It pulls quite a bit harder in every gear, especially at motorway speeds. 3rd pretty much feels like...

Nothing is reflective of the market at the moment :D That £2.5k ancient low spec Skoda kinda proves this haha.

I can't believe how absolutely insane car prices have got. I only paid £10k for my Titanium X Sport Powershift (top spec, with optional extras) in 2014!

He's a salesman. He wants the sale. Do your own research and only rely on him to do the actual deal :) Edge is the lowest spec.
