would never get a car on finance,finance is the reason the country is in such a state at the moment.what i was stating was that cars that were £10k a year ago are now £5k and its a bit annoying when you have shelled out your hard earned.fair enough that the car your are likely to buy to replace the one you have has also fallen in value but its still a bitter pill to swallow

I always thought it was uncontrolled financing and borrowing which led to this. Getting a loan to pay for a car is perfectly reasonable if you know you'll be able to pay that loan back.

It was people getting finance on everything, using their house as an ATM and borrowing living outside of there means which has messed a lot of things up.

I'm selling mine in the new year. A facelift 53 reg with 45K on the clock and fully loaded (I think) apart from no touch screen nav. In the current climate I'd be happy with 5K for it.

Neil.
 
if it were me Pete, i'd hang on for a performance blue one, they look much better than any other colour :D
 
For comparisons sakes I picked up an 04 ST220 (Performance Blue) with Xenons, Sat Nav and cream leather for just under £5.5k a few weeks ago.

Difference is that mine has done just under 90k but you couldn't tell by looking at it.

It does have a few little niggles like most second hand cars, but for the money these go for now you certainly get a hell of a lot of car. Plus I really liked the cream leather. :p

Make sure to rev it all the way when you drive it, you get a nice kick at the top end. :D

I prefer the discretion with a silver one. Blue is awesome but also grabs attention.

not bad attention though, everytime i see one, i think how lush it looks, the colour always looks saturated and it looks stunning after a wash / polish, it also brings its lines and definition out better, also, performance blue is an exclusive colour for the ST range so you know straight away that it's an ST, Other colours don't have the same effect on me. Just another mondeo at first glance.
 
m8 has picked up a 57 plate black one and has got me thinking that this might/should be my next choice of motor, especially after seeing how little they are going for!
 
part of me still wants a blue one, even though i've just bought a new car recently, i could sell my audi and buy one and get half my money back :D

Do it! :D

Anyway. Signed on the dotted line tonight so hopefully pick it up tomorrow, if not then Friday. (Damn new year! :()

Can't. ******. Wait! :D
 
None of these mega cheap ST220's seem to be within 100 miles of me. IMO I think the OP did alright for a low mileage example. Part of me wishes I'd waited another year and bought one of these instead of the Octavia... the other part knows the fuel economy would cheese me off :p
