Nice, assuming it’s an st3? Any optional extras?
ST-3 yup. It has the sat nav/climate bluetooth system thingy (blaupunkt?), rear view camera, sunroof and is completely bone stock so no remap, exhaust etc
Seems to have been well looked after. Obviously has the age related paint chips etc, but full ford service history (service every year at dealer). 2 previous owners, 1 of which was ford UK for a few months and then the same person for 8 years after. Previous guy has fitted P zeros all around which told me it had at least a bit of money spent on it!

Same spec as mine, very rare.
Ah, not quite the same spec! Auto lights & wipers aren't an issue, the reversing camera however is another issue completely. I'm convinced on mine it's a wiring fault as I've replaced the camera, the control module, the wiring and the reverse parking sensors. The head unit itself isn't at fault as I've hooked it up to a DVD player (from the boot) and it shows a picture, from that I can only guess it's the power (or lack of) getting to the control module.
I doubt it's the camera, I replaced that for a new one.
Mine is a 2009 60 plate, Bluetooth streaming works as standard, the only downside I've found is that the track names don't show up. I've used it a few times with Spotify, mostly I just use USB to play music and Bluetooth for phone.

OK hopefully mine has it enabled too however I think bluetooth streaming became a thing in 2010 for most cars so fingers crossed!
Forgot to check yesterday but not a deal breaker
How much and what mileage if you don’t mind me asking? Is that from a main Ford dealer your buying? Seems a far better example than that high mileage 5k one you linked to a while back
Went over budget a bit but never mind... £6650 with 2 years evans halshaw warranty. It's on 100k at the moment but I checked the warranty documents of course and it covers pretty much everything including cracked liners, cambelt failure before interval, suspension etc so I have no doubt it'll fill it's £450 price within 2 years!How much and what mileage if you don’t mind me asking?

They also knocked the "admin fee" off (£100) but I was never going to pay that anyway.
It is probably over the actual value of the car but for the sake of a couple of hundred £ the warranty gave me a little peace of mind. Won't be modifying for a couple of years either due to insurance.

That age and mileage, time for the cam belt and water pump.

Might be interested in the pollen filter if you've still got it?
Well I suppose some of them do come with stripes on! Anyway, sorry to hear that, I guess they're repairing it?So the valeter decided to scrape it against a van 4 hours before I'm supposed to pick it up
14k for a 2008 ST-3 and they think it will go up in value, just lol. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201703293820527
Yeah respray of the whole front bumper. Apparently it could be done by just polishing the small area as it is just a graze but they are getting the full panel resprayed. Guess it is a good thing as it was quite reasonably stone chipped!
