Spec me something different

[Deleted User 234324]

Got an 06 plate Focus ST-2 at the mo, looking for a change, lovely car and cost wise its fine but looking for something different.

Ideally after something sporty that has similar or better performance to the ST.

Has to be comfy to drive as i occasionally do long trips (~150 miles each way)

Budget wise, no more than the part ex value of the ST-2

Would it Part-Ex for about £8.5k? How many miles on it?

Value is around 9-9.5k, 36k miles full ford history, 12 months tax. Car is performance blue with ST side stripe.

Sell it privately then change.

Looking for a level part ex is going to send you backwards.

Any suggestions on something different though ? if I have to sell privately I will.

..rightttt.

Get a Leon TDI FR or a C30 T5.

Get a Leon TDI FR or a C30 T5.

Or the petrol FR.

A diesel Leon and a car that you'd need around £15000 to buy. Is that the best you can come up with?

OP, are you looking for a hatchback type car, a coupe, a saloon?

Get a Leon TDI FR or a C30 T5.

Which C30 would he get for 8 - 9k?

 

[BD10NNF]

Oh my mistake I thought that he was going to have the same amount in cash as well as part ex. So I took £7.5 p/x and £7.5k cash so he could afford £15k.
Sorry

350Z is the first thing that comes to mind.

Hatchback or Coupe are fine, had considered the bmw 330 but the miss's don't like em and as she uses the car occasionally thats a no go.

Couldn't agree more.

Oh, missed the "comfy" part.

Then I'd adjust my suggestion to a DC5 + a prescription for a pair of testicles.

hate to sound like a stuck record but if you want someone for <£10k with similar performance to a focus ST but a better more comfortable interior you've just described an e46 330i or Ci pretty much perfectly

Get a Leon TDI FR

Or the petrol FR.

From a Focus ST? That would be quite a step back.
