Veeky Forums, stop me from buying one of these bad boys

If you by one of these you also buy a Trenchcoat and a Fedora. Dude its a car for 40+ dads. Not for a 20 something single man. Get a sporty or more practical car.

this car probably need some repairs/ huge maintenance

Don't know what prices are like where you are, but they are cheap as fuck in the UK. Easily get a decent one for a grand and there are hundreds of them about in the classifieds.

Biggest issues are the transfer box (look for leaking and listen for funny noises) and rust. The sills have covers on them, make sure to look under them as it can hide and send the car to an early grave very quickly.

They are good cars though, nice interior, drive well, and pretty reliable.

The S-Type is more of a true jag experience with similar running costs. The only downside is that they're all automatic, but if you're considering a jag in the first place that shouldn't be an issue. Cheap as fuck to buy too.

Enjoy your FORD MONDEO.

Reminds me of all the people that think they are cool by buying Fiat Puntos, just because the text on the rear says MITO.

Convincing enough?

You say that like it is a bad thing. The Mondeo is a seriously good car. Plus the interior is totally different and the mondeo didn't come in AWD (besides a few very early and limited MK2s)

The mondeo is just another boring rep mobile.

Not a very reliable one either.

I have a an S-type with the 4.2 liter. It's super quick and handles great, But it seems like maintenence is going to be an expensive issue. I prefer my 2002 540i M-sport though.

so all these awards mean nothing? not a loaded question, genuinely asking (OP here)
