His question is reasonable. There are some who would say if you can't tell an apostrophe from a comma, you shouldn't post on forums.

Yes to rear camera. I think Sat Nav is available across the range too, but not 100% sure.

Whoops, I was assuming that the OP meant the MD range.

Definitely not all Mondeos have a rear camera.

Hello.

I am only looking at 2015-16 Camry and 2015-16 Mondeo. Still not sure, Camry was really nice.

Most dealers are saying they want $19,990. I looked on red book and I don't think that is the price. The value on red book is from 13.5-15.9k depending on a lot of things such a diesel. I was thinking to offer the mid of the range (depending on km and condition) plus $1- $2k depending on dealer equality? What is the going amount I should add to red book.

I haven't bought a car in a long time. They are all really good I am keen to get one soon.

What is the main difference between the trend and the ambient ? Does one have more power than the other ? I looked a lot up myself but it is hard to know exactly what is going on. Is it worth paying more for the trend ?

Thanks.

I've owned a 2015 Trend Ecoboost hatch since new and am very pleased with it. The Ecoboost Trend has 177 Kw where as the Ambient has 149 Kw. The torque is 345 Nm for both however is developed at a different rev range.


You would be better to purchase a Trend as it has adaptive cruise control, pre-collision assist detection, lane keeping aid etc. All Trends come with Sat Nav and a rear camera.


I think you will find that the Mondeo is a much nicer car to drive than any Camry and has a higher quality Euro feel to it.


The only problems I've had with mine is a leaking washer bottle which turned out the be the seal around the pump and it now appears to have a very small coolant leak which the dealer was unable to locate at the last service. I will bring it to their attention at the next service.

Hey 123, it sounds like you're in a similar place as I was in the day. 2015 I was looking for a circa-2012 Mondeo so quite parallel to what you're asking.

Back then the trim levels were named LX, Zetec and Titanium (MC), now they are Ambiente, Trend and Titanium (MD). The philosophy is the same, LX/Ambiente is the lowest-spec fleet special (although still quite well-equipped, it's no poverty-pack) and Zetec/Trend is the intended entry point for private buyers (having more of the mod cons and styling options, though pricier for it). Titanium is the fully-loaded option (and getting quite exxy at new car price).

In terms of drivetrain the LX/Ambiente gets a downrated petrol engine while Zetec/Trend & Titanium get a punchier Ecoboost petrol. The diesel engine is the same across all grades.

When I was looking, the feeling I got was a 3yo LX would cost me up to $15K depending on mileage, and a 3yo Titanium would be around $24K (I was looking at wagons which are slightly pricier). In the end, I got a well-maintained 4/5yo Titanium for $22K private sale. I think the Redbook prices are probably the lowest you could realistically hope to achieve, but by all means quote it when you go in to bargain, if the seller is motivated you may get lucky.

The Camry would not be a bad buy by any means, but Toyota these days don't really compete on price and features (they know they don't have to), so you can get more car for your money with other marques. The tradeoff is resale - Toyotas as a rule hold their value extremely well, while Fords in general lose value sometimes quite precipitously. Mondeo gets an especially bad rap thanks to Powershift, but if you're comfortable with all that it just makes it all the more attractive as a used car bargain.
