Ford C Max - considering a Ford C Max - TriciaA

I viewed a C Max a while ago, I'm unsure of the exact specifications but it was a 2011, turbo diesel, 6 gears, good space in luggage/dog area :) pretty good on fuel and road tax was £30. Ice been trying to find a similar one on the internet but in black. The one I viewed had already been sold, it was priced at £10.600. Mileage was around 12.000. Good price?

Sounds expensive for a 2 year old one.

Was it a private sale or a dealer?

There was an engine problem with the Ford 1.6 diesel - hopefully someone will remember which model years it applied to. In any case the 2.0 is worth having if you are sure you need a diesel.

I'm considering diesel mainly because of more mileage.

This will be fitted with the Ford/Peugeot tdci engine found in various makers models.Early variants from around 2005 -9 commonly suffered with very expensive turbo failures due to poor design and/ or maintenance.Good engine,I have not seen any later cars wth problems.The 2.0 diesel is also a Ford/Peugeot design.hth
