I part ex'd it but possibly.....depends if the dealer would take the px value as cash in lieu of the car. I have actually done that before with no trouble.

So my ford galaxy looks like this now.



So far so good, apart from kerbing a fekin alloy in the first 24hrs (gutted).

Did you change the grille, or did you buy it with that grille?

Until it goes wrong, which it will. Then the Ford clutch cost will seem like pocket change

Bugger off 😀

It came with that grille? It's a special edition sport model so that could have some bearing?

What makes you say that out of interest, what do you think will go wrong?

Lovely car OP.

Cheers dude

I think he's pulling my leg. As far as I can gather they really are very robust. Much more so than an equivalent beemer or Audi anyway. Obviously if it does go wrong in a big way it'll cost a few quid but that's the chance you take.

It essentially drives like a new car and with the 2 seats in the boot works brilliantly when you have 3 kids.

Thousands of German Taxi drivers can't be wrong!

Cars are all money pits and will always cost you money eventually, one way or another.

You can either embrace that and just buy what you like and can afford. Or you go down the shed route and drive around in death traps, spending as little as possible until they die.

OP, I hope you enjoy your new car. It looks nice.
