I've had my 2006 Ford Mondeo for 4 years and got it for a bargain price, been happy with it but the last two MOTs have cost £400 or so and the next is due end of March.
I recently put in a new drive shaft after hitting a pothole, there are various problems with sensors and the clutch so I feel the car has reached end of life and no longer wish to MOT or keep it on the road.
I've saved up some and have decided to treat myself to a new car for once, a Ford Edge which I've had my eye on for over a year. The problem is there's an issue with my credit file, a mistake which I'm chasing up and is going to take around 2 months to rectify.
In the mean time, I don't know what to do. I can't get the 0% finance from Ford until this issue is rectified and need to be on the road to get to work until it's sorted.
I'm not good with cars hence am seeking advice from you all, so thank you in advance.
Can you recommend any makes/models of used vehicles I could buy for cash and look to trade in when I get the Edge, without losing too much money in the process?
What price range should I look at in the hopes of not losing out too much?
