No, it'll be very nice. But against the 50mpg+ figures quoted for the diesel, 35mpg looks pretty unappealing.This is largely what governs the market value.
That's not the whole story though. For some users the petrol makes much more sense.
Its not all about mpg and petrol v diesel though is it? Its short sighted to say 'its a petrol it should cost £4.23' because that'd be stupid. I think its a fair price because 2.0TDCi Mondeo's on a 58 plate with under 40k on them are going for about £7,500+
The petrol one the OP is looking at is unlikely to have been a company car - the fact its petrol and only done 34k in 3 years suggests that - so its not a car thats been worked hard, its only just out of warranty so there should be no problems, the dealer is supplying it with a 12 month warranty and its obviously priced to take a possible p/x into account. Also dont forget low mileage users wont want a diesel, theres also far more diesel Mondeo's to choose from than petrol's on the used market.
By the way, 35mpg looks quite high to me!
