Default My first AU but no user manual.

Hi
Just purchased my 2000 AU forte. Ive been told that there isnt a users manual with the car... is there somewhere i can download one, in PDF format or the like?

2000 model 120,000km on the clock for $10,000, owned by an old couple that did a fair few trips between Brisbane and Sydney - so mainly highway kmś which is good. Talked them down from $11,000.
Have attached some pics of my purchase - before you ask, dont mind the shiny hubcaps - yes im picking some nice new 18¨ wheels on the way home when i go to get the car. Otherwise the car is in mint condition.. not a mark on it, with the nice black interior too - im not a fan of the grey.

When myford.com.au was up and running, it had downloadable manuals for your Ford. Just waiting for its return (currently being revamped).

Very nice Szeps. Just got mine a month ago, first Ford ever. Love it. Same colour and model as yours but in a wagon.
Well done....
Just a thought, presuming you bought her from a dealer, can they put you in touch with the previous owners. They probably still have the original owners manual. Just a thought

Ask the dealer to contact them for you. I hope they haven't spun you one.
Dealers and I have a long history of not liking each other very much because
I hate dishonesty and decietfulness.
Put some pressure on them. JMO
