Sharper Focus

I have seen a pre- registered 59 plate Ford Kuga 2.0TDCI 2WD (34 miles on the clock) it has the convenience pack and appearance pack plus a Sony DAB radio. The franchised Ford dealer is asking £17,995. Do you think this is a good deal? I would be grateful for your opinion.

At that sort of money it starts to make as much sense as a new Hyundai ix35 and does have more Focus-like handling. Though still lacks Hyundai's 5-year warranty.
