New (used) Ford - which sites??
Hi guys
I've been looking for a new car for a number of weeks to no avail as I'm being rather specific in what I want. Its only a Ford Fiesta, but I'd like the 1.6 diesel Zetec S in the 7-8k price range, but on the sites I'm looking at I can only see black or grey ones. I really would like one in Ocean Blue or Colorado Red.
I've used local Ford sites and Autotrader on a daily basis but with my current tax due to expire on 31st May and me wanting to part ex - I'm running out of time.
Can you post any Ford dealerships in your area (I don't mind travelling) or any other car sales websites in this thread to assist a damsel in distress please? 
TIA

Fords of Winsford have a blue 1.6TDCI but it's a bit more than you want to pay: a shade over 10K. They have new motors coming in every day though.

Steer clear of the TDCI. Ford are having a mutitude of things going wrong with the high pressure fuel pumps which is costing customers a fortune.

Too late, i'm now the proud owner of a 1.6 Tdci Zetec Climate Fiesta
On the plus side, its still under Ford warranty and then I've got a further warranty when that runs out
I travelled down to Cannock earlier on today to test drive the vehicle and I'm pleased although i've given some of the luxuries I had on my old (petrol) model. Its bright red and gorgeous

We have Mondeo & Focus TDCi as one of the choices for fleet/company cars - my 58 plate Focus 2.0 TDCi Titanium is up to 35,000 miles with no problems - not to say problems don't exist, just that I haven't encountered any.
