What's It Worth ?

Hi all, just thought I would gather some opinions before taking the plunge into Galaxy ownership ( again....). Several years ago, I owned a MK1 2.0 petrol Gal and found it pretty good. I upgraded that one to a new shape 2.3 Zetec auto and was delighted with that one, but things changed and I needed something even BIGGER so I bought a Mazda Bongo ( !! )

 

I'm now in a position once again to think about getting another Galaxy - I'm looking at a 2.3 Zetec auto, Ghia model, on an 02 plate. The dealer wants

But with 6 previous owners on a 02 plate - that equates to nearly a new driver every year :lol:

I agree. With 6 owners, I bet its got a chequered history. Best to stick to one or 2 owners. I prefer to buy from a owner direct as I can gain a lot of history and can judge whethyer I trust the seller. Unless you do a low mileage, I suggest you look at the diesel, The 2.3 auto drimks lots of fuel. My brother in law has a 51 plate, lives in Croydon and gets only 25mpg. He has also had lots of problems with the car. My MK1 diesel is still going great with 198K on the clock. I will probably get the new Galaxy out in 2010 with the powershift autobox.
