If you buy private you should get a st3 of the same age/mileage for the same inflated price of a st2 at a car dealers. But most of them i see for sale are the ST2. Seems like most people buying/leasing them brand new scrimped on the spec. A car of that value new should have leather recaro's standard and electric rear windows like my Mondeo

looking around at the facelifts most good 58/09 plates seem to be around 9k

would rather buy a well looked after low mileage 2007 for around 7k if i had your 8k budget
