I have just found out my Polo has been written off and am hoping now to be able to spend £7000 on my next car. I have opted for an ST as I took one out not too long ago and thought it was a good laugh. Wondering if you guys can advise me on the best places to look, pros and cons, what to get/not to get etc etc. Thanks

Take a look on the fiestastoc.com they have alot of info and their classified section.

I bought mine for 8k in march last year with 6000miles on the clock mint condition 07 plate from allen ford as they offered me 4.5k for my 55plate zetec so I snapped their hands off...

You should be able to pick up an 07 57 plate for 6500 7000 privately.
I originally wanted no stripes but still haven't managed to pluck up the courage and get then removed.
End of this month honest!

Get over to fordfiestast.co.uk

Main problem people have is seat release breaking
Great car though I love mine
Noisy on motorways though
Plenty to choose from with low mileage on autotrader etc

I found them decent to drive, but just not quick enough. Also the wheels are too big! cough*182*cough

They may be french, but they are also utterly brilliant!
