Any Ford dealers in the SE want to sell me a Focus ST?

Very close to 'pulling the trigger' on a facelift ST1, Great price on drivethedeal, and pretty close to their price with my local dealer, but pushing to match DtD before I commit...

If there's any keen Ford sales guys reading this and fancy a free hit for a bit of a discount then pm me!

Cheers, see to me those additions don't sound like £1200's worth. I know a bit of the value (negligable) will be retained in the resale value but its still not worthwhile to me. The only options I'd like would be heated screen, seats and premium audio but it would cost me £3500 to get that (plus the other stuff)! On the previous shape the ST1 and ST2 interior differed quite a bit due to the Sony stereo, but thats no longer the case. The big 8" screen is only available on the ST3.

My plan is that it should cost me around £3500-£4000 in depreciation over 2 years, if you start bumping up the options (which will loose more of their value proportionally), then I might as well gone for one of of the golf R lease deals at circa £6500 over 2 years.
