New Focus ST for £16,669

[Ecosseven]

Looks like there are some decent offers around on the Focus ST at the moment. DTD are offering the basic ST for £16,669 on the road and the ST2 for £17,809. Not bad at all for a 247bhp hot hatch. Some dealers are charging more for second hand cars!

Not shifting me thinks.

A lot of people have been going for the Fiesta ST over it, as well as the Focus ST having a few teething problems.

Says its only for vat registered

Blimey. I have no idea how the price of a decent Mk2 Focus RS is nearly £10k more than that.

Ah, I didn't notice that bit.... Kind of explains why they are a lot cheaper than other internet brokers.

Try driving one and you'll see .

The MK2 RS does seem to be holding it's value very well, as for the MK1 RS that's bottomed out at about £7,000 and can't see it going anywhere but upwards on good examples.

That is very cheap. Hmm, what about the estate?

Love the Focus RS mk2,it just looks amazing, like its just come off a stage. Ford got the styling so right with that car. No wonder why the prices are holding.

What is it about fast Fords commanding insane prices on the second hand market?

I recently had a look at prices of old Cosworths etc, can't believe how much they cost!

Are they really that good or is it mostly nostalgia / heritage etc?

Bit of both - same reason as E30 M3 EVO sports fetch more than double the price of an E46 CSL and ordinary E30 M3s fetch more than E46 M3s....... Plus lots of fanboys .....
See also 964RS and newer generation cheaper GT3s ....... As Porsche fanboys are richer!
