Buying Focus ST

[cupra-r rob]

Planning on getting an ST2 and wondered about any problems or things to lookout for.

Hopeing to get a 2006/7, white, 15k miles for about £13k, is that reasonable?

I hear bluefin is the easyest way to get a bit more power, how much are these, can the mapping be hidden for waranty work ect, what power gains are seen, are the boost levels safe?

Thanks for any help.

Yea mate, seen a few for a good price but struggleing to find a white one. Still waiting for my conformation email from focus st forum.

Cheers, im trying to get on there now, £13k is about all i can afford thats if i get the asking price for mine.

Seating possition was something i was worried about as i like to sit low. I guess parts are not that expensive if they do break being a ford?

ST-Rob my user name. Are you a moderator then? Generaly getting about 23-26mpg on mine at the moment, probably new fronts every 10k max, much simaler on focus?

Its a bit more thirsty then, i'll have to stop going on as many aimless drives. I only use Tesco 99 or v-power on my cupra so im preety much used to that.

Cheers mate, can get on classifieds now, that white one for £13500 is exactly what im looking for, very much doubt it will still be for sale in 2 or so weeks when im ready to buy tho.

Yea, need to get my self to a dealership, think i'll have a look tommorow. I'll bare the paintwork in mind when i find one, every car ive had seems to of had swirlmarks, want a good one this time.

It wouldnt be a deal breaker, ive seen pictures of what the detailers can do. Thanks for your help mate, i'll let you no over on st forum if the seating puts me off, doubt it will tho.

Thanks for the info, been haveing a good read of all the mapping options, just the warrenty that concerns me a bit if i decide to do more mods.

Still need to get rid of mine, seems to be a difficult time to sell at the moment, maybe im over priceing.
