Yep, that`s my opinion too. But I was in need for a quick solution, and FORD was the only option. Not that they are very expensive. The local "FORD Pusher" offers to pay the difference, of you can have a better offer on repairs, within 25 km distance, using original FORD parts.

The ST was priced approx. 23000,- pounds in 2005 in Denmark for a standard edition.. The tax on cars is 180 pct on import price. + 25 pct. VAT..

Hmm, have some friends im Germany.. Yes, cars and services on cars are still cheap, compared to Denmark. One of my friends still takes his SMAX to service in Flensburg(A very nice city, by the way). He saves approx 1/3 compared to a DK service :-)
