The wiles of the used car dealer.

There is 24v Ghia Scorpio on ebay (300882810669), Here A very nice clean low miler,it belonged to an acquaintance of mine who traded it in for a Jaguar X type diesel,he thought that the deal was good because the dealer allowed him £1000 on the Scorp,which as we all know he would have loaded onto the Jaguar first,in the knowledge that he would most likely be stuck with it and would bang it in the block.As you see the car is for sale as a"part exchange to clear"at the knock down price of £1995  .Incidentally,my acquaintance admits that the Jaguar/Mondeo is not a patch on the Scorp for comfort,but is better on juice !!!

Looks nice. He swaped that for a x type? was it because of the mpg? shame, but we had to sell our 24v and one reason was the petrol

Looks a nice car. Why would you swap it for a horrible Jag though? The money spent on the swap would never re-pay the change in fuel consumption.

24v with cloth seats and manual air-con
That has to be a rarity in itself.

I don't think it has aircon Rodders,were it not for the low miles it smacks of one of Elderly William's pursuit cars,as you see it has 12 spokes rather than the Ghia pattern alloys.
