What colour leather?

Black. I did fancy the grey leather but only with a blue ST. Given my Ghia X was blue i didnt want that colour again

It also has full ford service history(just had annual service).
12 months mot.
6 months tax.
Recently had 4 new tyres(brigdestone) and pads/discs.

Sounds like an A1 example mate.

I have ~£3K. Will this get me a good ST220? Are there any other potentially expensive issues apart from the DMF going boobs skyward, and is this a common problem?

I've seen this, and I really like the red leather. So much so, I don't think I'd find it easy settling for anything with black leather:

I'll be buying in 5 weeks, so that car will probably be gone. It's between the 220 and the ZT 190 currently.

ST everytime! Didnt notice you posted in here.

5 weeks, can you not save another 500-1k? Around 3k mark your looking at moon miles/no history. Near 4k is where you need to be looking.

Mind you, you might get lucky.

I really think you are going to need to lower your expectations on this budget, busting the budget to buy a car that averages under 30mpg and costs 500 quid for a set of tyres is never going to end well.

My current car has similar running costs, so I'm kind of used to this.

Seems cheap for a below average mileage facelift in the best colour combo!

If it's about in 5 weeks (doubtful), I'll be training it up there for a look.

Give them a holding deposit? Seems like a good one, shame to let it slip by.

That hasn't been my experience. Perhaps a mint, low mileage one from a dealer will cost around 4k but you can get a mint example for circa 3k with below average mileage.

That thought has crossed my mind. I'll talk to the missus later.

/edit:

Just called up - it's sold. Never mind.

From a dealer like Evans Halshaw, that is really cheap.

It took me a little while to find a black one in the condition I wanted. The colour of the red leather is a bit too rich imo and overwhelms the whole interior.

The word mint is so badly abused these days. Very few 5+ year old cars are mint. What you mean is good condition not mint. Mint is almost flawless.

mike gunnz · 21 May 2012 at 16:49

Point taken, its not flawless but its in excellent condition for its age.
