looking at an 02 fiesta, my first ford :P

is there anything i should look out for, from what ive heard they are good reliable cars, low with insurence and good fuel consumption.

no point asking a garage as they will just be out for the sale so who better to ask then people that own the cars themselves

please as much detail as possible, last car was a fiat and dont really want to go through another nightmare of breakdowns and problems left right and centre.

I'd recommend taking a mechanic friend along or failing that get an aa/rac inspection done.

On a 02 plate one major thing to look for is rust. My mates Fiesta of a similar age is an excellent runner, low servicing costs etc BUT it is starting to have more major rust issues.

its more the underneath and suspension mounting points etc you need to keep an eye on.
