Swap or not - Charliecat
Have 2.0 si Mondeo M plate 72k (annual mileage 13K) good condition /Maitained. I can get 97/98 Primera 2.0 Se all the whistles and bells automatic with 30K on clock one owner fsh for £5.5k. My outlook was to keep the ford 3 more years and pay 6k cash for newercar then. I can afford 3K cash plus watever I can get for the ford??? My philosophy is to keep a motor 10 years if poss.Is it swap time and how is the best way to get rid of the ford??

This is The Backroom, not honestjohn. The 'R' reg Primera is over-priced by about £500. Your Mondeo is worth about £2,500. In the circumstances, probably better to keep the amortised Mondeo and just hope you don't need a clutch.

Best place to get rid of the Ford is the local breaker's yard!! Only joking.
If it's time for a change (life is short, live it to the max) go and treat yourself to the Primera (very reliable) knocking £500 off the pirce as HJ says.
1994 Mondeo a bit long in the tooth now, go on, change it!!!
