I've just had another text from WBAC and they've now upped their offer on my extremely rare 2.2 Mondeo to £755!   £955!!  ::)

I'm tempted to go along just to see how much they knock off when they actually see it!  ;D

WBAC have been on to me again!  :)

They offered me £3750 for my astra. I was passing their portacabin , yes, portacabin, and decided to pop and ask the lad there what he thought they'd knock off for the few scrapes should I decide to go ahead. He had a quick look round and said "About £800 mate".
No thanks.

I'll wait until I get the oil warning every morning and I might drop it down and ask for an immediate bank transfer  ;D

Prices are still going up, wifey's is valued at £9,500 today. Looks like I'm going to have to stop looking at the trader for a while.

I was looking at 2.0 diesel insignias around 17 plate (new shape). But, at around £13.5-15.5K, I think they are too much money. The high milers are more reasonable, but the one I've got is not that much different to them.

This is identical to my Mondeo. £3195!  :o

Well... I say identical it's got 35,000 less miles and looks in better condition, but even so, it's still a 14 year old Ford Mondeo!  :-X  :-\

Yep!  A local garage had an 08 silver Mondeo for about £3000 in the summer, 1.8 petrol, fairly basic spec as well.  It didn't hang around for long.  :)

Might put a cheeky ad on Gumtree... £2250?  :D
