Focus RS MK 2

[mark35]

Looking into getting one of these any one else got one?

 

[grudas]

rs owners forum would be better... not many people would buy a 28k? hatch?

 

[peterattheboro]

No one on here.

That I know of anyway.

There's a few owners on Pistonheads aswell.

Awesome cars I personally think this thread shouldn't turn into a omg it's 28 grand thread though

 

[Sin_Chase]

Sure, awesome cars.

Just have to be an nutter to drop the sticker price on one because at that point, they are less awesome when compared to other things

awesome yes.. but when you think what you can get for 28k it becomes a bit less "awesome"

just a few examples

i would take any of the above instead of focus rs..

^ Well said.

Yet again, another numpty who thinks that comparing a cars brand new list price against other cars second hand prices is relevant or appropriate.

 

[Begbie]

As said, lovely looking cars.

But when you look at what you could get for £28k, its an easy choice.

Same applies when you compare list prices. Or list price + money left over for improvement.

£28k you say?

OMG what a rip!11

Of course it's relevant and appropriate! Clearly someone who wants to buy a brand new hot hatch is in the market for a 7 year old BMW!

 

[Defcon5]

What do you have at the minute?

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

The RS looks like an awesome car..........but for £28,000 that 335d M Sport Coupe is where I would put my money.

 

[MikeHiow]

Enlighten me, what can you have for around £26-28k brand new that is comparable to and discernibly better than the RS? I bet the selection isn't all that great.

Exactly! I love the RS and looked at one yesterday but I just can't get over the price!

If i were spending that much on a ford it would be:

It is to many, some people have X to spend, X opens them up to all sorts of options both new and old. Only people who MUST have a new car are, as you say, numpties...

 

[Housey]

Though if our OP wants and RS he should go get.

 

[Al-Ectrician]

Hopefully the price will drop off a cliff, for say a 2 year old version.

Personally I would prefer a brand new RS, compared to the older BMW's, I assume a standard 3 year warranty would come with the RS, I dont want a 3rd party warranty.

The cayman on an 07 plate does make the mouth water though.

My vote is on the RS.

Not with Tiptronic, bloody awful ruination of a car.
