Default Ford Mondeo 2008

I was wondering If anyone if anyone has any thoughts on the Ford Mondeo Zetec model from 2008? Did it give anyone problems that other Zetec drivers had? Also, what is the max price I should pay?
Similar to this one, only in silver;

Hi,
I have a 2008 TDCi so it has all of the Zetec spec. You should be able to get one for around the $15k mark depending on higher Km/s and Petrols are a little cheaper. I Love the car but will think of a few annoyances for you:
-Tramlining but apparently fixable with better tires, see the thread.
-A/C takes a couple of min to figure out that that the temp has changed since last you used the car. eg. from a hot day to cold night it will pummel you with super cold air until it wakes up to itself.
-The rubbers/plastics between the doors and windows are loose (mine at least) and need to be pushed down depending on window usage.
-careful lifting the hatch after rain...

The Mondeo I had was one of the first imported into the country. It had an issue with water entering the hatch area after rain. I got the replacement window with lip that sorted this issue.

My understanding was that after the second lot were imported Ford applied the lip to window and sorted this issue out. Mine was an October 2007 build.
