Welcome.

Hello and welcome

I would also like to know how the hell you afford a ST3?

I am 24, work my ass off and earn a good wage. I do have a mortgage (!) and a 1,000 mile commute per month (these are my problems) but why can I not afford one! (YET)

Two words "fleet policy". After looking at buying the car . i did what we all have to do call the insurance companies and i was getting quotes of £2500 a year. but luckily I work in a family business. So i had a chat with my dad (director) and phone call to the company doing our fleet policy it was sorted. it does help that part of my job is to deal with vehicles. so now it cost me £200 a year with a £500 exses.

Sorry for been a nose parker BUT

Does this mean that Dad/the company helps keep the monthly cost of the car payments down or is this all sorted for you? I think I just need to quit bitching and buy one.

Fair play anyway. Bloody lovely motor and with 300bhp I am sure it pulls like a cracker.

Roll on the 300BHP 4WD version later this year - I dearly hope that ford get of their fat lazy arses and make this car. I am sure that a 300BHP 4WD version would sell even better than the standard ST however this will obviously be proportional to the list cost. COME ON FORD HELP US OUT
