What do you reckon ?
I have just bought a second Ford Direct car for my wife and I think there is a bit too much fuss over the non-refundable deposit to be honest. True Ford dealers would rather you buy their own used stock, but a Ford Direct vehicle in my book should be as good as new as apart from the fact that they are usually under a year old, they guarantee that any defects on the car are sorted to an as-new standard with Ford Parts and I think it even says that tyres over 50% work are replaced with new.
I went over our new Focus with a microscope and the only thing I found were 2 professionally repaired stone chips in the bonnet which no normal person would ever have seen. Both cars we bought had circa 10K miles on them and neither gave any cause for concern whatsoever.
The only thing I would say is negotiate hard with the dealers and use the car supermarkets to benchmark prices otherwise they will have you pay too much. Also, you shoudl ghet it cheaper from a dealer than the online Ford direct prices.
