My fourteen year old Mondeo 1.8TD is coming to the end of it's life. Rear bumper is held on by a bungee cord, the exhaust and rear shocks will also probably fall foul of the MoT in August, the timing belt is due a change and rust is beginning to bubble through on one of the front wings.
In short, it is like Monty Python's Parrot, a long way past sleeping after a long squawk.
Believe it or not, I have never bought a car privately in my life. All have come from dealers, from brand new to death traps at various times in my life. So I need guidance on a replacement, must be Mondeo size or there abouts because of the goods I need to carry, diesel as I cover 15k minimum per year, and most important of all I can't go much over a grand.
So any suggestions as to what to look for, and what to watch out for buying privately would be most appreciated.
