Was that from a main dealer with 3 year ford warranty or one of the online ones offering only 2 years warranty ?

That's from my local Ford dealer, it's not a bad price for a new 170, some dealers wanted the same or more for pre reg 155. The imports can be slightly cheaper but as I wanted finance they don't work out any cheaper in the long run.

I've had mine since July ( 170 ) and only had the odd park pilot error ( about six times )
It's been very good and mine was about 22800 with sat nav ad LEDs etc from the uk . A mate bought an import and he got the two year warranty as he needed twin doors and he loves his too

A bit closer to home than you think :) They come from Ireland I believe, my mate has just bought a Transit LWB, they only come with a 2 year warranty though.
I doubt it's cost effective now with the low pound.

I have the Sport 155bhp and wanted to know how it compares to the new 170bhp. I can get a good deal on the new one and soon this one is out of warranty.
Is it worth it?
Opinions please.

Much quicker and smoother engine.
More torque at low range.
More fuel efficient.
Higher top speed. But watch out guys, it's incredibly dangerous to drive faster then 100mph in the custom! I think that ford should have two keys for it like the veyron. One for 100mph and one for 100+.

Downside is adblue.

Well, it is higher but it's illegal to drive that fast.
Not judging anyone.

Maybe you need to drive your dying friend to the hospital and the ambulance is to far away?
