i would just hope that at 95k its way cheap because when you come to sell it on after using it then it will need to be.

it will never be one that rises in value once they finish dropping.

There's far more to it than just the badge.

I'm amazed at the amount of high mileage ones tbh, pretty much everyone I know treats them as a weekend toy so are reasonably low mileage, I was fretting cos mine's on 19k lol, feel a bit better now

Nice! How do you find it compared to the Focus? Obviously it's a lot quicker, but in other aspects.

The focus is a chunky car and does get attention especially when i was out in the 500 but thats not always a good thing, was never thrilled with handling or torque steer and was a pain to live with as a daily and power delivery was ok but not great, however in comparison i feel safer and more nimble power delivery is epic and its handling is simply a wonder to behold, only thing im having done is the gearbox upgrade as its just a few hundred quid but wow best money i have spent on a car, even booked myself a few tutorial driving skills lessons on track too so i can rinse out the full 700hp and be in control
