Title: What do you think?
Post by janspeed on Jun 18^th, 2005, 1:15pm

???
I have seen a Ford Scorpio 2.5 TD Ghia Estate.
Its a 1998 R plate face lift.
Leather, fast glass, A/C, towbar. basically every thing i have been looking for.
The only thing is the milage, 150,000 miles. :o
The car is in good condition and has obviously been looked after.
So, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I can't speak from experience, but I have seen Scorpio Diesels go on and on and on...

One was on eBay not long ago with 430,000 on the clock!

Yes, four hundred and thirty thousand miles...

Wow Nick_H, that is high miles. where have they been? ROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS?
I know it is not just the engine that has done 150,000 miles, the running gear, gear box and the like have done the same.
I have had a look on the help pages and the guide to buying a Scorpio page too. very informative and a great help.
Is the one i have been looking at worth the money?

Hi
Have you had a look at Equipment Specs on main page
cus from sept 96 the GHIA became the base model, with
GHIA X the intermediate, and ULTIMA as top model,i for
one dont fuss over the mileage,the car could be 10years
old and only have 20,000 on clock and it could still break down and prob paid a lot for it cus it was low mileage.
