Wow 7.2k for a 2006 pre facelift 
Even though it's obviously a very well cared for example and has all the extra's the vast majority will just look on AT and see that a 2006 can be had for 5k which really limits the potential buyers. Good luck selling it though!
What are U replacing it with?

Crazy trying to get insurance on the ST at 24yrs old... No one wants to insure you or they do a stupid prices. Managed to get £433

How is £433 a crazy priceI'm paying £900 for mine in my late 20's.
£433 is not crazy, Hastings wouldn't insure me which were my current provider and when I tried their other underwriter they wanted 2k
it jumped from £800 to 2k very quickly

I sold my 56 reg for £6700 start of the year. I got quite lucky though, I really think it was a lucky sale. I put it up for £6995. I wouldn't even contemplate asking £7200 ask price, that is facelift territory. You need to be £6995 max.
If milage is low, see what Rev It Up UK will offer you. Offered me £6250, car was on 71k. You should easily see £6400 or so
And that will be the quickest sale you would get. But despite the condition and miles you won't get a sniff at that asking price

Stormster, slightly off topic, is that your 1 series in your sig? Can I ask what spec and any pics? (Or link to previous post or thread would be good too)

Does look smart there - especially in performance blueA few naff ford photos, as I have just put the PH advert live and she is looking smart.

Always thought the pre-facelift mk2 ST looked a lot better and stood out nicely compared to the facelift version. Took me a fair amount of faffing and cosmetic tweeking over time to get mine looking decent (to me) compared to my previous 56 plate ST3.

It is, it's just a 120d (I hear the crowds seething lol), M Sport with a few options - heated leather, professional audio, odds and sods. Nothing too fancy I'm missing a bit of proper power but I am enjoying 30 quid a week fuel bills opposed to 80!

Looks nice
A well specced 1 series coupe was on my short list, something like a 125i but in the end I just couldn't find a nice enough one within budget. I REALLY wanted Xenons and it seems most don't !
May be next time
Still want to own a RWD car.

You can get the near same performance with a bluefin at a fraction of the price. It will void your warranty though.
Had mine 6 months.
I wouldn't bother with more power. It is not easy to use the power you have at stock. The torque steer and wheelspin is pretty bad.
Its great as a daily driver with a bit of right foot.
I can change mine in three months but startign to wish i had waited for the Golf R. I saved myself £10k but its not as fun.

The Golf R is very fast, but I didnt find it very fun. It seemed like there was no skill involved in driving, just point it in the direction you want to go and floor it (and hold on!)
Maybe im getting old but on the road thats what i want.
My days of RWD arse out action are well over.
I would much prefer that to wheel spin and pulling to the left. I had more confidence in the golf i think. I have had a few moments putting my foot down and going no where.

That makes sense, and probably explains why I keep looking at the Toyota gt86
