Today I picked up my 2004 facelift model ST220.

It's silver and has 25,000 miles on the clock. The car is in immaculate condition apart from a scratch on the bonnet, but the dealership provided some paint to fix that. (Could have done it themselves! )

I payed a very tidy sum of £6490 which I think it absolutely excellent. I am well chuffed.

Crappy phone pic.



So far only driven about 15 miles as i'm at work but had a huge grin on my face for the whole time

Good man.
Great car.
I done 108k in my old one not one problem in all that time.
When the time comes upgrade to EBC pads and discs well worth it.
Goodyear asymetrics work really well to much better than the Continentals.

Thanks.

It's just had some random tyres fitted before I bought it so i've got a good 3 months of hard use

Definatley sticking some Eagle F1s on it next as i'm told they transform the car.

When I get bored of it then i'll be getting a new exhaust, uprated discs and pads and remap

But at the moment it's a fantastic car as it is

Very nice, and at a good price too!

Welcome to the club

Had mine a year and a few days now, still loving it. Yesterday I got back into it after traveling all day in a Smart, really made me appreciate the Recaros and the performance all over again.

Here's mine, a bit dirty after spending the day driving round North Wales:

Good price you got it for

Everytime I drive mine (which is at the weekends tbh) I always think that it's a great car. Plenty of grunt/grip/toys

Have you registered yourself over at www.stdrivers.co.uk yet?

Well done!

Had mine a few months now, still loving it, and averaging 26mpg - bonus!

Here's a better pic that the one in the OP.

Nice looking car Peter, what colour leather?

My brother's looking around for a Silver car with Red Leather.

I see you're into photography, if you're up for a couple of hours work and fancy taking some shots of my car for me, once the weather picks up feel free to drop me an e-mail to discuss.

Will do mate

I have black leather. I've heard red leather is super rare on ST220s that ain't black

Just imagine, a non black ST220 saloon with red leather. Does that even exist?

Ohh and i've just seen what car you drive in your notes... Count me in!

I've seen a few silver '220s with red leather, so they do exist. In my Ford days also saw a few with red leather and black alcantara seats

Mine's black with black, and it's a cracking and underrated car IMO. Must take some photos of it sometime

Now all we have to do is wait for the BMW owners to appear and tell you how much better their 330Ci is

[cableguy]

Peter, i'll drop you an e-mail/PM once the weather picks up.

Let me know if you hear of any Silver/Red ST220's?

Mines silver with red leather, great combination

Will dee. I'm always looking as I'm just watching the value of these cars drop every week after i've just dropped 6 grand on one

Nice car mate, I too just picked up a 2004 plate in black with black leather, mine has 35k on the clock, and paid £5400
