RE: Ford Mondeo ST200 | Spotted

[Dombilano]

Helluva mileage for 4k. I imagine the market for this one is about 7 people uk wide

[sjabrown]

Crap and crusty. Might be more interesting at shed prices but £4k seems steep even if rare.

[Darnoc95]

If it was half the money i still wouldnt enter it in SOTW

An interesting business model..

People advertise their cars on PH.

Then get a load of oddbods to slag it off!

[Pughmacher]

Hmm. Nice car to drive when new. Reviews at the time I believe were positive although there is a lack of pace and the brakes were noted as poor by I think Evo (which is what I would’ve been reading at the time). I could never get my head around the fact that after the cosworth YB was retired they didn’t see the need to reach at least the 220 bhp produced in a sapphire cosworth. This particular one is crusty and will be a lot worse under the plastics and underneath the car. It’s an interesting motor for someone. But as with most stuff these days I think the price is steep.

Absolutely spot on,PH's have got a flaming cheek!

[Trebor1970]

Since 2013 it's only been MOT'd 4 times

[David-pzjej]

£4k is a starting point ,mileage is too high for me it would be alright if it was a 1.9td vw golf because 500k is doable.

I was never all that fond of the estate, but I would love the hatchback ST200 version though. I've always really liked the Recaro seats in these as well.

I bought my R56 JCW as a keeper, but having seen the astronomical prices of 'Fast Fords' and other similar cars, Im going to sell it. I don't think £35k is too much to ask.

[BeastieBoy73]

Isn’t SOTW normally Fridays?

[Mr Tidy]

I grew up loving Fast Fords, but went off them when they all became FWD even though I know Mondeos did drive really well.

But I bought a 132K mile BMW 325i Touring with full BMWSH in 2018 for just under £3K that had no rust, had similar power (218bhp) and also drove really well.

Apart from the great colour I can't see much to like about this Mondeo!

[5lab]

I ran a 99 Mondeo estate like this (but different engine) from 2005 to 2012. By that point (12 years ago), most of the bodywork was either held together by paint or replaced with an ugly patch. The rust protection was non existent. It was a nice enough car, but I suspect doubling it's life won't have helped with the rust issues

[daqinggregg]

I thought this was getting an unfair slagging off, then looked at the advert, rough rear arches, how many miles? 4K seems very optimistic.

[wistec1]

Looks like it's just dropped out of a smurfs ahole.

[Jon_S_Rally]

This one clearly isn't in great shape, but I don't get the criticism of these more generally. The Mondeo was a very good car, especially in ST form. No it's not going to be that quick by modern standards, but still plenty quick enough to have fun in. Not everything needs to do 0-60 in 0.8 seconds.

[sledge68]

in line with you having pretty much nothing good to say about any car

Absolutely gopping, especially from the rear doors backwards. I’ll pass

[MrGeoff]

Not a Ford person to be honest, never have been but I don't think it looks that bad. It is incredibly crusty though and strong money for a rust bucket.

[ducnick]

It’s amazing how much steel has increased in price. In the past I had to give cars to the scrap man for free to be rid of them. I guess there is more metal in an estate but £4K for a scrap mondaeo is madness
