ST220...Less than 2k now for a sub 90k car!

[BigsimonY]

Going to take the plunge. Less than 2k gets you a 03 ST220 with less than 90k on it with a F/S/H...... Set aside a 1k bork fund...... Surely a good buy now. What should I out for?

[HertsBiker]

Tyres are at least £90/corner.
Gearbox and clutch. Loads of electrical toys to fail. But an excellent price!

Sooo much car....

big end lunching itself if its been starved of oil.

Not really, it's still a Focus you could buy something better and faster for much less.

I didn't know the Mondeo was based on a Focus platform??

Buy a silver one and everyone thinks you're an undercover motorway patrol car

A grand.... A GRAND! Providing that hasn't been written off at some point I call SOTW*

I've got one, facelift estate which I've had a year next month.
really nice to drive, done 8k miles so far but paid 3500 for it.
I've not seen anything decent for 2 grand, so you did well to find that.

I'd disagree, it's an extremely simple and very common car.

Any monkey can fix it and many mechanics will know them inside and out.

That one's got the optional factory HID lights too.

Cash strapped Norfolk constabulary have been using one up until very recently - how do I know this? Been stopped by it!
