Well we bought an MA in 2009 and kept it for 9 years (private sale in 2018). In that time the only abnormal thing that happened was a drivers seat belt buckle switch went faulty. Fixed under warranty.

In 2018 we acquired an ex Ford executive MD (see sig) and have been enjoying that for 18 months now. Put a manufacturer's extended warranty onto it that will run out in early 2022 and the plan was to look at another Ford executive car in mid 2021. Mondeo again.

But it appears that will not happen owing to Ford Oz's decision to stop importing the car (maybe cease manufacturing?).

I'll take a look at what might be available in mid 2020. There might be some Ford Exec cars coming onto the market that were put into Ford's fleet in the early half of this year that they dispose of.

Clearly we are Mondeo people, ideal size for us, and very comfortable on the open road.

If a Mondeo isn't available then probably a Skoda Octavia wagon. Two neighbours have one and they are quite happy with them.

We shall see.

Cheers
