We bought a new car!

Ford Territory TS awd 2007

After quite a while comparing models and features and hunting around for a good deal, we’re now the proud owners of a Ford Territory. It’s the best car for our growing family, with 7 seats and enough room for 3 baby seats.

Our particular model is a 2007 Territory TS AWD, an ex company car with low kilometers and an excellent service record. Rory, as we have already named him, is in great condition and should see us through quite a few years before we need to change cars again. He’ll be a suitable replacement for Annie, our little Subaru we bought a few years ago.

We’ve looked at plenty of vehicles over the last 6 months or so, both new and used. When we found this one at Titan Ford in Brookvale, we knew it was the one for us, well worth the trip to take a look. After a test drive—including a delightful scenic trip along the very Territory-esque Wakehurst Parkway and through Oxford Falls—we got to bargaining and didn’t leave until we’d made a deal.

Our first trip to test out the long distance comfort, 6 speed ZF gearbox, and all wheel drive road-holding will be a trip to Canberra for UX Australia, followed by a few days up in Thredbo country.

    You bought the wrong one! where is the A-team superspecial Japanese car with the mag wheels and the rear spolier. Very very dissapointed.

    Are you getting a kick back for that advetorial?!

    No, but if there are any representatives of the Ford Motor Company reading this, the going rate is $100 per paragraph. If you want me to include “it was rooly, rooly good” that will be an extra grand.

    Rory isn’t boring! Besides, if we bought the freaky van I’d be forever explaining to everyone what it is.
