MarkCup's Fiesta ST

[_Tom]

Pictures really do nothing for these cars imo.

Saw a PB one on the road Saturday in the Sun and was almost a little jealous. Looked lovely.

 

[MarkCup]

Didn't realise you were an older chap Mark

LOL - I prefer wise.

Just saw this, at 504 miles, oh dear...this is what happens when Ford convince the insurance companies that the ST is a warm hatch leaving 17 year olds queuing up to insure them...

And they are all over on FSTOC.

 

[Lal B3N]

lolz, look like it held up fairly decent though.

 

[Harpham]

It turns out the only thing wrong was that I forgot to tell them not to wash it. Grrrr.

I know dealers aren't really switched on with how to wash a car & that, but why would they wash it before changing the oil etc and getting the mechanics grubby mitts on lol.

I need to get a camera to rig up when mine goes in for any work. Will save me from waiting around for it.

 

[_Tom]

Lol at all you perverts. I think i'd rather not know tbh..

I'm the same.

 

[Cliotoby]

Like them in blue for sure.

 

[Gally]

FML!

 

[Toastfrenzy]

I enquired about an ST1 just last week, 5K down and 105 per month, I am tempted (along with the mountune). The Focus ST1 was also 5k down and 140 per month (both 24 mths) this was direct from the ford dealer in Peterborough.

 

[MarkCup]

They still seem willing to do a deal if you can find the right dealer and catch them at the right time!

I saw only my second one on the road this weekend...Molten Orange. So that's mine and two other orange ones I've seen...nothing else. I don't know where they're all hiding.

 

[Gally]

One local to me now Mark, girl driving it. Looks superb in the sun.

 

[Sir_Dave]

I saw a white one in my car park yesterday. Ollie82 had just collected it & driven it there though Lovely, really really nice in fact ... Id still have blue though i think!

 

[_Tom]

I've seen a fair few local to me. All blue or white though. They are really growing on me tbh.

Can get a full spec ST2 in blue for £150 a month with 5k down over 2 years online.

Yep, cracking looking car.

The blue oval boys have nailed this one tbh.

I never thought I'd say that.

£5k is a lot to put down on a PCP or Lease deal.

 

[Waitey]

Yeah it is, but £105 is nowt.

for what I want it for- anything above an st1 would be wasted! lol.

 

[Toastfrenzy]

7.4k over two years isn't though...overall.

 

[Gally]

Agreed. 6.5k for 12 months if on £105 per month deal.

 

[Lal B3N]

for what I want it for- anything above an st1 would be wasted! lol.

Fair enough, in that case the standard ST with no options at all is £55 per month over 2 years with 5k down lol! Shockingly cheap!!

 

[Lal B3N]

£45 a month according to this site for a standard ST-2, 10k per annum, £5k Down and over 24 months! Bargain!!!

Wow!

So it's that or, as an alternative, £5,465 down and 48x £209 for a Clio 200T.

Erm...

the charges and interest and total car price are a fair bit higher than the ford dealer figures I got, £880 was the total on top of the car price for interest and charges with them. But as wouldn't be keeping it so the charges disappear? Pay 5k plus 45 a month for 2 years hand keys back walk away - this how it works?

 

[Thrust-Rated]

5k down and £45 a month!!! Tempting or what?!

 

[Cliotoby]

Piss cheap that. Deposit aside thats like a mobile phone contract !

 

[Gally]

Although 5k is a lot on the whole... £45 for 24 months trouble free motoring. Impressive stuff.

 

[Gally]

6k to rent a brand new car for 2 years. I reckon you wouldn't even put tyres on it if you drove it sensibly.

Does that deal include tax and servicing?

 

[Martin_172]

would it depreciate 6k in 2 years though if you bought it yourself? (ive not looked at 2nd hand prices on them so not sure how they are holding)

 

[Gally]

Mark only really factored in the 5 year old one. Dave's thread on his BMW compared lease to buying better.

Will an ST be worth 9/10k in 2 years? No chance imo. Bare in mind it will still be in warranty.

Lease it for 3 years would probably see you break even with lease vs buy.

 

[Martin_172]

I like the idea of lease/PCP I just 1. get bored too easily and 2. I can commute 5 miles a day and then suddenly my work decides im going 100 miles a day so millage limits are a no go!

im watching the prices of 2nd hand Twingos closely to see if we can justify swapping the Mrs 1.2 twingo for a fiesta ST

 

[Jaff.]

Mate of a guy in work just got his in molten orange... 2 days later, woman Into the side of it! write off!

 

[Gally]

Ouch.

The 1.0 ecoboost Fiesta Zetec S is also a really good lease just now. Great looks, chassis, steering, gearbox and pennies to run. I fancy a white one.

Thought they were bat s**t expensive?

 

[Gally]

To buy? Pretty much ST money. Lease is pretty cheap for the facelifts.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Aren't the titanium x's higher specced than the ST too?
My mates just had a gloss red 1.0 ecoboost Titanium X with a zetec S body kit. Looks great!
I'm sure he said it was more than an ST though

 

[Gally]

They are. Titanium spec is Ghia remember. Mega bucks.

 

[MarkCup]

I had a spare few hours this gloriously sunny afternoon so did this...
