Purchased an off-lease, mint condition race red 2015 Ford Transit Connect XLT LWB passenger van with just over 20K miles in June, 2016. Drove by dealership, spotted it (wasn't hard) and made the manager an offer that was below repo value. Vehicle had been on lot for more than six months (battery was dead) and the used car manager was under the gun to convert it to cash. Thirty minutes later he had my 2004 Focus wagon and I was driving off the lot with his Connect. "What is that thing?" As a Connect owner, it's likely you've come to expect the question. Discovered you meet lots of new people in the supermarket parking lot when you drive a Transit Connect. A retired print journalist, have returned to my rock/keyboard roots. The Connect allows me to easily haul a very large Hammond Organ and its twin Leslie speakers - with room leftover for the bass player. Love it.
