I Might Be Coming Back Again!

Hello all,

 

I owned a Mk2 1.9tdi until February when the clutch collapsed and it wasn't worth replacing. I was determined to go to another vehicle and considered a Volvo XC90 (spank me now!!)  but kept pining for a Galaxy

 

I've now learned about the 2.0 TDCi Zetec Powershift Galaxies that Addison Lee (huge contract cab company in London) sell off at about 4 years old (2012 plates) with about 100K miles on them and for about £6.5k to £7.5k

 

My son in law drives a van for them and tells me how insistent and fussy they are about servicing their vehicles on  time and fully, sometimes being over the top as it's all tied in to the special warranty deal they have with Ford

 

So my question is what do you think about buying from them? 

What should I  look for and ask? They are very open on what has been done to the car and will give me a full service and repairs print out of every thing changed from day 1.

Is there an after market warranty worth considering out there or should I just put the equivalent monthly payments into a savings account?

 

Will they make a good tow car? I know they won't have pulled anything before which is a positive and apparently have plug and play electrics already in place.

 

Thanks and hopefully I will return to the fold or should that be ford?

 

Jon

main issue on these Galaxies is the Powershift Gearbox we do Auto transmissions and deal with these a lot. Ask them if the car has had a new gearbox fitted try to get one that HAS. Fords are very gentle with Addison Lee any Problem with the Box and they send them a new one. If you need some more advice call me on 078 77313910 we do a lot of these Powershift gearboxes
