Hmm what's the saying "A Watched Kettle Never Boils" know how you feel hope your baby turns up soon. I believe there are problems getting hold of diesel wagons at least there is one consolidation ,you be getting the latest model off the line

Have you been advised of your wait time?

Joe5619 · 17-09-2010, 09:52 AM

I haven't see any Titanium Wagons at any of the Ford dealers I drive past.. Are any here yet??

Smoke Pursuit · 17-09-2010, 11:02 AM

Wouldnt you wait for the MC?? Id want to be getting a good deal to take an MB now.

There are a few Titanium wagons on carsales.com.au

Black looks sleek!!

White does not look to bad either.

Do all these come with the new 120kw diesel and 6 speed dual clutch gearbox?

I know, all I'm waiting for is for the car to come up from Melbourne, so it depends on the Freight Company they organized it with.

apparently there is only 1 in NSW, but mine's from VIC. My Leasing company pulled their finger out and grabbed a black one from a dealer in Melbourne

funny thing is, I signed the Lease the day Ford announced to bring in the MC's b4 the end of the year. never mind, knowing Ford it probably will take longer anyway.
besides I got a good deal for it

NEW QUESTION without starting a new thread:
can anyone recommend a good dealer, I live in the Blue Mouontains NSW. Is Sinclair Ford still ok, as I have used them up to 3 years ago? cheers

I hope so, thats what the paper work says.
Black does look nice, but I guess I"ll be spending every spare minute cleaning it

I can understand black in UK or Europe but here in the Sunburnt country its bloody HOT! then again I'm just assuming from my school days in science class like cooking an egg on the bonnet figure of speach

I get you, but I had a black Commodore [

Company Car], and really I dont think it makes that much of a difference. besides the Mondeo has that neat Global Down feature to let some of the hot air out, and I live in the Mountains.

XtRmn8 · 17-09-2010, 06:00 PM

I like the look of black cars and the Titanium wagon in black looks very good. Having had black cars in the past I can say that there is a massive difference to cabin temperature even on a nice sunny 25deg day.

I just hope the new MC has better aircon than the MA.

NZ XR6 · 18-09-2010, 03:59 AM

I have a black wagon and it's really not a problem in summer. I open all of the windows when I unlock the car (hold the unlock button down) and leave them down for a few minutes if I can. The aircon's a bit better since it was recharged last summer but the real key I think is to get a decent tint applied.

Only trouble with black cars is they look look good for about a day after you wash them!

Bucknaked · 18-09-2010, 08:10 AM

Wow. I love the white. It's the best looking wagon I think I've ever seen. It's great to see a nice body kit on a wagon. Rear diffuser looks quite nice.

My line of thought exactly on the tint. can anyone recommend a good one as the dealer option wouldnt apply for me as the car comes from Melbourne

Joe5619 · 24-09-2010, 10:02 AM

I saw one of them on the road this morning!! Very nice looking cars.. Almost makes me want to go out & get a wife & kids so I have a reason to buy one!!

Almost!!

apstar · 24-09-2010, 10:32 PM

Don't have to marry them if you get them into the wagon
