Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

What about the camber on the rear wheels though? That was a problem when I lowered my mk2 Focus ST. You end up with loads of negative camber on the rear wheels because they can't be adjusted, unless you use mods.

They had a few in stock but I wanted a factory order. Gives me plenty of time to sell my current car :)

Ah, shame they couldnt find an unnasigned one with that spec on the factory build schedule ( or maybe DTD can't do that?). My dealer managed to find one about to be finished in germany with the spec i wanted when i bought mine.

Oh well, it will be worth the wait! I guess you wouldnt want one till March at the earliest anyway because of the new reg.

Do you mind telling us the cost?

Of course :)

£16,100. I put £3k down and the term is 24 months. Monthly payments are £183 and the residual/balloon is about £8,750.

Where's the interest? :confused: That is a much smaller balloon payment than mine after the 24 months.

Edit - just seen interest is 0.9%, but still

Yeah 0% interest. Dealer deposit contribution is about £1,050 I think. Seemed like a very good deal to me so I bit his hand off :) the local dealer couldn't really get close which is a shame.
 
Great deal. Wish they had that low rate when I bought it (was 4% back then) but I suppose that was a year ago.

I think they may have softened the suspension a bit on ones made more recently. Since that was the only complaint about the car.

I also heard that they may have toned down the heated seats as well, but that needed doing :D

That might explain it then :)

Didn't actually try out the heated seats, or the stereo or anything else! Was too busy having fun driving it :)
 
Had the rack replaced. It improved the twitchyness a fair bit. Still not 100% though.

Problem is my past two cars before the BMW have been brand new so I'm kinda used to things being perfect and it irritates me if they aren't. Decided it's best to just get a new car again and just enjoy driving :)
