10 years, buying a used vehicle rather than a brand new one can be the smart move. Before you take the plunge though, make sure you check out your prospective pur­ chase thoroughly. Here are a few tips to help you: 0 Do not look at a car in the dark or in

the rain. 0 If you do not know much about cars,


take someone with you who does. 0 Test the car on the road, checking the


performance of the brakes as well as listen­ ing for rattles and unusual noises. 0 Check if the car has a current MOT.


If it is more than three years old it must have one. 0 Check the service history of the vehi­


cle. Ask to see the receipts. 0 Ask if the mileage is warranted, and


if so ask to see the written confirmation. 0 Ask to see the registration document


and check the number of previous owners. 0 Inspect the caS- thoroughly, including


the underside for rust and welds, the exhaust ss^stem, the bodywork and fittings as well as the condition of the paintwork. 0 Check the rubber seals are intact as


repairing leaks can be very expensive. 0 Check the seat-belts for wear and


ensure they run freely. 0 Carpets can hide high mileage, so


check that their condition is commensu­ rate with the car's mileage. 0 Check the engine compartment. If


you do not feel qualified, then ask one of the major motoring organisations to do so on your behalf. 0 Check all finance agreements thor­


oughly before putting pen to paper. 0 Never be afraid to ask the “awkward


question” . P I I OOOs o f

Open season on diesel _________ by Andy Enright_________


h e diesel engine has been around for a long time, but it has only been in the


last handful of years that tech­ nology has progressed to such an extent that you could conceiv­ ably fit one to a drop-top car. Diesels used to be agricultural,


smelly and noisy and to drive around without the protection of a roof would have given any driver an insight into what it must have been like to be a stoker on the flying Scotsman. Much has changed in recent years


and the development of smooth; refined common-rail diesel engines has meant that open top driving while your car squashes its heavy oil is not just possible but increasingly desirable. Ford has pitched in with its con­


tender in this rapidly expanding market. And the Focus Coupe- Cabriolet 2.0 TDCI is a belter. As well as having a diesel engine,


the Focus Coupe-Cabriolet also has another feature that is mushroomed in popularity -


the folding hard-top


roof, making this a vehicle that reflects the current leisure-oriented fashion for those with a bit of dis­ posable income. Prices start at £19,270 for the CC-


2 model and top out at £20,210 for the CC-3 variant, so it is not pocket money, but rest assured that this model will be in demand for quite


some time yet, thus plumping up residual values nicely, in turn driving down the cost of a typical three to four-year ownership tenure. The 2.0-litre diesel engine is good


for 136 b.h.p. and is acceptably refined. There are smoother diesel units out there in this class, but few that offer this sort of response and broad spread of torque. It is almost as if you have got a big, unstressed petrol under the bonnet so lazy and muscular is the pick up. In this way, it is not wholly unlike


the old Ford 3.0-litre Essex engine, a unit that, coincidentally, also made


136 b.h.p. Even with the roof of the Focus Coupe-Cabriolet safely tucked away in its chunky rump,


•there is little in the way of engine din, the wind and tyre noise being a good deal more voluble. Even these sounds are not overly


intrusive though and 70 m.p.h. cruis­ ing with the roof down is not going to leave you feeling as if you have been 12 rounds with Amir Khan. The bald figures make respectable


reading. The Duratorq diesel is by far the most impressive power plant in the line up and makes 60 from rest in 10.3 seconds on the way to 128

m.p.h. and a combined fuel figure of nearly 50 m.p.g. Hood up or down, the Focus


Coupe-Cabriolet is a neat piece of styling. The two-piece electrically- operated hard top roof operates at the touch of a button and takes just 29 seconds, with no catches, latches or levers needing to be manhandled. The Focus Coupe-Cabriolet looks


set to mow down many of its erst­ while rivals in the hurly-burly of becoming the biggest selling drop top car in the UK and this 2.0-litre diesel model is going to account for a hefty slug of those sales.
