Went to see an old friend yesterday. He and his wife have a 2015 Fiesta. Every car they have had in the last 50 years has been a new, red, Fiesta which is probably a record.
This one has only done 25,000 miles. On the advice of the mechanic that regularly services it, the wet timing belt has just been changed at a cost of about £1000. I gather this is a fair price.
Very wise I think. Regardless of mileage, the belt has still been pickling in oil for 10 years.
Almost all new cars now are financial time bombs. Fair?
