Mondeo - Should I Buy Another Mk2 Or Mk3 Or Mk4?

Hi Bryan here, I am a 74-year-old Ford car fanatic. I think I have owned or driven virtually every model of Ford car ever produced. Ford is the only make I would ever own.I have a MondeoZetec MK 2 1.8i 5dr hatch back 2000 X Reg that I have over the past 2 years restored to concourse show condition. So it’s not for normal daily use. I have a 98 R Reg Escort 1.8i Zetec powered 5 door hatch back which I use as a normal road
car, and which at my age I don’t like driving (too hard suspension etc). I want to buy another Mondeo to use as a normal car for every day use. My question is should I try to find another MK2, that has the body style (Dolphin nose) that I love, same as my X Reg, or should I go for the MK3 or MK4 model where I don’t
really like the body shape and which I am told have been mechanically something of a problem. I want the car to have at least full Zetec options or maybe full Ghia options and would perhaps go for 2 litre as an option. I think Petrol not diesel would be my choice. What advice can any of you offer regards my buying
choice bearing in mind that I normally do all my car maintenance and repairs myself so the latest computerised technology has little appeal for me. Would it be an impossible task to find a high spec Mk2 X reg Mondeo mechanically sound with near perfect body and interior or do I have to go for the 2001 to 2010
range? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
