Today I will be going to my local Ford dealership to make full payment on a Ford Direct fiesta that they have bought in for me. I have not seen the car yet but to keep the PX value they gave me on my current fiesta, I have to pay the remaining balance before Tuesday.

I am a little wary of having to do this, but a 1 year old Ford Direct car should be ok. My current car was a ford direct car (bought at only 8 months old) and that has been fine.

Pics will appear when I have seen it or got it home.

It is a Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost 125ps Titanium in Deep Impact Blue.



So you don't even get to see it today ?

I don't get this. As good as it should be. How the heck can someone be expected to sign up to so much money without seeing it ?

The car was bought specially for me from another dealership group which might not actually got the car at the location it was advertised to be at, which was a bummer as it would have been 3 miles away (could have had a sneaky peek) but the dealership that has got it for me is 13 miles away - but they gave me a great PX price - over half the price of my new fiesta - but the PX value will go down after Tuesday. They say it will take up to 10 days to get the car but I am hoping that it is there today as it is so near.

"To keep the PX value", typical sales ploy.

Mine was a Ford direct car with 5355 miles/10 month old.
Even so i travelled 83 miles to view it.

You need to eyeball it before laying down any money that is not refundable.

My guess is that an official ford direct must be up to a certain standard. Not sure if as new or not though. Im sure you'll love it though. I have deep impact blue and is amazing looking though mine is the 100ps version.

The new car is paid for & got to wait for it to arrive to view it. If it is not what I want, I will get a full refund. Cannot wait to see it.
