you can get closer to £6000 off an st3 in reality
Doesn't matter how much discount a person can get, because somebody will always say they can get more.Hey my local Ford dealer paid me £2 grand to take a brand new ST3 off their hands cause it was just cluttering up the forecourt.

I know you can get £6000 off because i bought one and got that level of discount.

I was attempting to be funny. I know you can get £6000 off because i bought one and got that level of discount.
That is an amazing discount on a new ST3 so well done, but I'm sure the majority of car buying public would get nowhere near that....with 4 grand being much more realistic.
Hey at least you never said you "brought" one.
Sorry....just me attempting to be funny again.

Drive The Deal offer £5,180 off an ST3 with navigation atm.
An interesting point...When I tried Drive The Deal back in June I was only getting around 2 grand off a mildly spec'd ST3 via Stoneacre Ford in York.
This didn't include the £1500 deposit allowance available at the time, but I'm assuming your figure includes the current £1425 allowance.

Apologies for the crystal-ball question, but what's the thoughts on these holding their money? I want one, but have another car coming so might look at one in a years time - just wondered what they will be like on the used market - availability and price like? Also - any idea on how long Ford will produce them??

That's the only thing that puts me off an RS. Do I have better things to spend the £7k difference on... I suppose the only thing that matters if I sell is depreciation though and the RS will probably fare pretty well there.0000 said:

Popped into the dealer yesterday who stated he had 6-7 firm deposits and was not worried about delivery dates slipping past Spring next year despite rumours of late 2016 and even early 2017 !
I looked at a couple of the colour swatches and thought the magnetic ( metallic gun metal grey ) looked nice but difficult to tell with such a small item. The stealth looked like the same colour as what Porsche call "Agate" grey and I knew I had seen the Blue colour somewhere but could not put my finger on it , and then it came to me ......
Volvo Polestar !
White is OK. Where are the lairy colours ??

When they're at least a grand new each direct from Recaro, I'd say it's a bargain
They need to be worth at least £1145 more than the standard Recaro seats to make it a bargain.The standard seats may well be more comfortable over longer distances though.
I was hoping to hear the reason why they "NEED" to be ordered as was stated?
