Title: What is a Galaxy 2.0 TDCi Ghia 'Individual'?
Post by: DeeVee on April 10, 2014, 09:07:36 AM
Good morning,
This is my first post and I do hope it is in the correct area so please be gentle with me.
I have the option of buying a 59 plate Galaxy auto 2.0 TDCi Ghia, but when I went to see it, there were chrome sill plates with 'Individual' engraved on them and all the leather interior also had 'Individual' embossed in the seats.
I am struggling to find what this 'Individual' means and what spec it is and how different it is to other specs.
I am hoping somebody will be able to give me some idea of what it is.
Thanking you all in advance.
Cheers for now

DeeVee  :)

I believe it's to do with certain 'customised' options you (as the customer) can specify on a new vehicle, and are fitted either at the factory on built to order new vehicles or by the dealers before delivery to the customer. Basically, it's Ford's way of allowing customers to 'individualise' their vehicles with different styling/ colour options, it's not a set trim/equipment spec like the standard 'Ghia', 'Titanium', 'Zetec' etc.

Hello DeeVee and  welcome5

Have a look through the Link (http://www.brooksidegarage.co.uk/brochures/galaxy_brochure.pdf) I think this will also help.

Thanks Chris for the welcome and the link to the brochure. Excellent stuff.
Next question:

How easy is it to remove the front offside wing? as this is damaged hence the decent price I'm being offered the Glaxay for.

Cheers again
