Electric Orange Focus ST

1. its not state blue - it's sea grey 2. you can't get it in "rs" blue because it is performance blue and not imperial blue - they are different colours 3. how you can say it doesn't look much different from the titanium model i beg to differ. the front and rear bumpers are much chunkier, the side sills are chunkier, the wheels are chunkier etc. etc. in fact i saw a road going performance blue 3dr new ST near Dunton only yesterday. From the rear 3/4 it looks really muscular and more mk1 Focus RS-like than mk2 Focus Titanium-like.

Great find! :D The white looks wicked!!!

Yeah these have been up on Martin's www.rs-i.net site for a few days now. Interesting that the car has a white rear reversing light and a white rear fog light on the other side ... looks like even Ford have started modding their cars ... :D The Sea Grey looks nice but those cloth seats are awful!

It varies between 15% and 30% depending on Model and Derivative. newFocus STs will get 20% discount.

The Whatcar depreciation index is their estimate on the future trade-in/ part-ex valuation of the car. Not what you can expect to pay for one on the forecourt. I would guess it depends on numbers and waiting lists, and how many dealers get demo vehicles, and if the market gets flooded with Ford Management Role cars. Mondeo ST220s drop from 23k to 14k in 12 months, so it is possible that the Focus ST-3s will drop from 19.5k to 11k in 12 months. One good thing in the Focus's favour is that the Privilege discount is only 20%. A lot of dealers take the attitude with the Mondeo's that a new one

It's 20%. No figures are up on HR Online yet but all the dealer's have the figures. Speak to James if you want a deal put together - he's really helpful and knows his stuff. Cheers, Ben

I hadn't seen these ones before today ... and trust me, I've found most of the ones out there! :lol: http://shows.autospies.com/gallery/show ... lleryId=23 Enjoy the pics of my new ride ... :D

Mikiew, Gryphon, I know exactly where you're coming from guys. I nearly bought a Tom-Tom for my Fiesta ST, but my mate Peter has a Tom-Tom in his Porsche 911 but it just isn't as good as the DVD Navigation system I had in my ST220. Besides I prefer the UI for the radio/ cd/ climate control via the touch-screen, and it looks cool! I'm gonna sound a right * * * * saying this, and I don't quite know how to word it without sounding so, but I get Privilege and by the time you've taken into account the DEATC that comes with it, the DVD Sat Nav system is only a tad over a grand which isn't a lo

If my Mondeo ST220 was anything to go by ... NONE! As James said, add extras to your car because YOU want them, and YOU will benefit from them, as come trade-in time you won't get anything back for them. Cheers, Ben Yea but £2200 for sat nav brand new surely will add some value! Well James may be able to answer this better than me, but when I was trying to trade my ST220, and I have mates who sell cars so I know what CAP / Glasses / Parkers state, and not one of 11 dealers would give more than book value for the car, regardless of all the options that were added. I've ordered the D

I had a look on Whatcar.com the other day, and the Depreciation Index comparison between the VW Golf GTi and the whizzpopper Astra VXR was astonishing! .............. VW Golf 2.0 FSI GTI 3dr ... whizzpopper Astra VXR 3dr Year 0 ... £19,995 .......................... £18,995 Year 1 ... £15,999 .......................... £11,400 Year 2 ... £14,400 .......................... £ 9,700 Year 3 ... £12,800 .......................... £ 8,139 Year 4 ... £11,275 .......................... £ 6,754 Being closer to the front-line than we are James, in your honest opinion how do you think the Focus ST w

Was that body-kit standard? Car looks stunning btw! Especially like the de-chromed front grille! :D
