That is a bargain. Couple of things to think about with the diesel. (Had an old mondeo TD and got burnt)

1 - Does this model have a dual mass flywheel. (Google it, but basically when is starts to go it is pricey to fix.

2 - Generally more expensive if they go wrong, £1500 for a fuel pump, injectors are something like £100 a pop as well.

On the motorway if driven sensibly my 1.6 petrol did over 40mpg and always over 35 round town. I decided i didn't do enough miles to risk the big bills!
