<2yrs Conti, <$50k.

Yup. The X Type is based on the Ford CD132 platform. Essentially a year 2000 Ford Mondeo.

They claim that it's still more polluting than petrol. well, they have their own standards. We just suck thumb, follow. no choice.

 

anyway, back to the topic..

[Rickster]

Mondeo should be a reliable car. A good workhorse...but I don't think it qualify as a 'Luxury Sedan' by any measure.

 

The term "luxury sedan" is often misused. On sgcarmart, many jap rides that is 2L or above are termed as "luxury sedan"

or anyone here selling ur less than 2yrs old Conti can PM me oso,

(if u can meet above $$$ criteria)

 

 

 

Luxury Sedan???? what is the advertiser thinking?

Sometimes I see Nissan sylphy advertised as luxury sedan too.

Or toyota Camry too or MAzda 6....

 

Under sports car also so many normal cars not paiseh classify as sports.

 

 

Classification really super loose in SGCarmart.

[Altum]

To be classified as sports car in Singapore, only need to have spoiler and

paste some Type R stickers can liao.

haha, so it seems, Altum, so it seems........

bro, bcaful of the warranty thingy... some AD are famous of voiding their customer warranty within warranty period jus for a small issue like servicing or modification... check with the AD on the validity of the warranty b4 u buy the car...

[Nighthawkcity]

i only know the 5 yr warranty.. 5 yr servicing.. hmm.. norm is first 60k bah..

[Samshio]

I'm a current ford owner and I only know of the 5-yr warranty or 100,000 km.

 

It does not cover wear and tear parts.

 

the Free servicing is only for the first 3 servicing only, and covers workmanship costs, but not spare parts.

[Sturtles]

There is a 5yrs maintenance package, but it is an added cost which you or your SE may like to pay upfront.

 

It may be discounted, but essentially, you still pay for the services, so its not free.

[Ah_veo]

thanks guys....

juz called Ford Agent to verify....5yrs agent warranty confirm have.

and oso there's this 5yrs maintenance package paid by 1st owner.meaning dun hv to pay a single cent for oil/labour svcing till 5th year,only pay for wear and tear parts. but somehow...duno why....i still dun feel comfortable. any 'catch'?

any other Agent offers such packages? if its too good to be true,i gets more worried.hehe....

[Samshio]

ok lah. currently my focus is in the 4th year. every time servicing only abt 200-300 max including parts. Service twice a year max only. workmanship usually costs around $70 each time.

 

Quite reliable (touch wood) so far.

 

mondy should be the same.

[Blackyv]

if im changing car today, i will go down and pay deposit for this mondeo today...

[Eyke]

Mondeo is new model so may have some teething problems,

compared to the Focus.
