Cheap Ford Galaxy – Perfect If You’re Visiting a Fortune Teller
I have a few irrational fears: spiders, which counts me out of “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!” when I’m a z-list celebrity, hospitals, even when I’m just visiting someone and finally carnival folk. On the latter, I have no doubt that the majority of carnival folk have skills that merit being able to travel from country to country performing to packed big tops, it’s just the ‘kooky’ nature that makes me feel uneasy and their games where you can win “A Cheap Ford!” but never do. As for clowns, well they’re just damn scary aren’t they?
What possessed me then to not only go to a carnival last week but to join in and ‘have fun’ I’ll never know. Needless to say I went with a wallet stuffed full of cash and left empty handed and with the lightest wallet known to man. Before I left though I went to see a fortune teller. Now you don’t have to be a regular reader of my articles to know that I don’t like being told when things are going to happen, I’m laidback and let things take their course. The fortune teller was very authentic though with her tent complete with Homebase table and chairs, Carpet Right rugs and crystal ball that I’m sure I saw in Toys R Us.
No matter, I crossed her palm with silver and let her have a feel of my hand. It was at that moment I realised that I had awfully dry and chapped hands for a man of my age and I really should buy some moisturiser. No matter, she continued unabated and told me what life had in store for me. Currently I am single, have a good job, slow car which looks fast and a loving family. Life therefore is pretty good, although nothing a Lamborghini Gallardo and Olga Kurylenko wouldn’t improve.
The fortune teller unfortunately didn’t advise that Italian metal or the latest bond girl would be arriving on my doorstep but she does reckon 2009 will not only be the year I find love but will have the first of a load of kids too. Blimey. Well if when I’m deep into December 2009 and I’m clutching a baby whilst I write this I’ll give her credit, but it did make me think what if I had a large family and had to choose a car to fit them all in.
Obviously the days of the sleek two door coupe will be gone and I’ll be into MPV territory. There are a number to choose from but my personal favourite has to be a cheap Ford Galaxy. Don’t be put off by me writing ‘cheap’ it’s just you get so much top quality metal for your buck with a Ford you’d be ill-advised to go elsewhere.
The Galaxy is available with either a 2 litre petrol engine or the diesel route which offers 1.8 or 2 litre derivatives. Personally the 2 litre diesel would be my choice, with a frugal 43.4mpg and because the latest Galaxy is surprising light (well compared to an Elephant) the 140bhp gives a top speed of 119mph and a nippy 9.9 seconds to 60mph from standing.
Of course practicality is priority one when buying an MPV and Ford boast there are 31 cubby-holes in the Galaxy. I didn’t have time to count them all when I was in the car but I’ll take their word for it – there’s a lot. There’s seating for seven as is de rigueur for any self respecting MPV, with the rear two seats offering ample room for a six-footer like me despite being in the boot.
The best news for me and Olga when we’re carting the kids to football and school is that despite the Galaxy being a large seven seater, it drives superbly. The windy roads I took the car on have tested others that are meant to be sporty to their limits. With the Galaxy it took the bends in its stride with minimal body roll.
My only minor criticism is that Ford claim that to drive the Galaxy is to “travel first class”. I’ve not experienced first class as much as I’d like but I know that when I flew to Chicago in first or travelled to London in the posh bit there certainly wasn’t a diesel rattle in front of me.
So there you have it – the best car for me and Olga Kurylenko is a cheap Ford Galaxy. Put the kettle on love I’m famished.

Converging on the Right Price For the Ford Cars You Buy
Several models of Ford Car are popular with the customers across the globe. However in the fiercely competitive commercial world to day there is every chance that you might be deprived of your hard earned money by paying more. An insight into the pricing of your favorite Ford Cars will give you an idea about how to go for it.
For instance you might have heard but do not know what exactly the factory invoice price means. On the other hand your dealer might be asking for a price higher than the advertised price.
The factory invoice price should be the basis of your deal
This is exactly the point where you should check up what the factory invoice price is and how much difference is coming up in the price quoted by your dealer. Whether you are buying your Ford Car at Ford Wales, Ford Scotland or Ford USA, it does not matter. The dealers pay the equal price for the product to the Company.
So when a dealer quotes you the price of a Ford Fiesta or Ford Galaxy that is higher compared to the price you see on the ads or quoted by some other dealer you could check up with the Company invoice price to know exactly the deal you are getting.
Ordinarily the sale price of the Ford cars is around $100 above the factory invoice price. Adding the taxes payable on it and tags concerned you will arrive at the highest price for the car.
On the other hand it is very difficult to find out the lowest price for Ford Cars because the rebates used to fluctuate time and again. Moreover, all customers are not eligible for equal rebates. Price of Focus C-Max at Dovercourt Ford and Ford Wales may not be the same therefore.
How do you know the best rebates for the car you buy?
When you decide to buy a Ford Car or any other car you will come across a host of factory advertised rebates and incentives. These are big parts of the new car purchases. You may come across many special private offers that are provided for the select groups like the active military service men, business owners, and persons under disabilities.
However each time you go for a new Car you must check the website of the company to know whether any fresh rebates have been introduced or fresh offers are there for you.
Such rebates may not be available for used cars that you wish to dispose off. For example you may be wishing to dispose your used Focus, Used Fiesta or Used Mondeo and have a new one as replacement or direct purchase. There will however be offers that would be most beneficial for you and you should always be on the check out for such offers that would give you best advantages.
Competition in the automobile market is so intense that every company is trying its best to attract the customers with offers of discounts and rebates of various kinds on new purchases. At the same time companies like Ford are also trying to make the exchange deals more attractive and customer friendly by offering better options. If you do a little home work and check out all the pros and cons of every offer you get. The ultimate result would be beneficial for you.
