I took my mates 2wd saph for a spin when he first got it and it lit the rear wheels up on boost, wasn't expecting it and shocked me. Though I've been in a few other 2wd ones that felt well planted. Suppose it's how u set them up suspension wise, my mates was 350bhp but with standard suspension, it was borderline dangerous lol

I've been in a Dakar edition e92 m3 and yes it was quick but not a patch on a cossie, felt far too smooth. Nice everyday car but the op wants a raw toy and you'll not get that with a German barge lol.

cossie fan (unluckerly)
Ive been in an e46 m3 and you sit there and say yeah not a bad car mate go's alright. Go in a saff with stage 3 as it pops bangs and fish tails up the road and you grin ear to ear

i know you are asking after a fast ford mat but the sudden over inflated prices are what put me off. i was looking for a really nice, semi decent spec sapphire and they were about 40 % more than they were only a few months ago on a like for like basis. there was a stage 3 saff on here for 6k ish earlier this year, i didnt see a single one for under 10k when i looked last month. ok i didnt look long and hard because i wasnt exclusively looking for a cossie but that king of pricing is ridiculous. i ended up getting a skyline and paid good money for one but the reason i opted for one aside from liking them was i was oblivious to the prices and just accepted the going rate. ignorance is bliss sometimes. i would love a cossie but good ones that come up for sale are thin on the ground. a lot of the ones advertised for strong money (10-12k) would have been 5k not that long ago.
Someone made a nice profit on that!!

Ł6k in todays market is cheap and it may be a bargain but as always it needs to be driven and checked over thoroughly.

A dealer in Cambridge had a nice white 2wd,original bar exhaust,e plate,80k.
I called but it was gone,price was 14k which I thought was a bit high but it was standard and untouched,well it looked it in the pics.
I would have went for a look if it was there,don't usually like white but a standard 2wd saph suits white and that 1 looked nice.

saffs in white with ambers and a nice set of wheels look stunning. best colour for a saff imo. that 6k saff sounds very cheap. if you could budget to ten grand to cover any issues you could still have a bargain. but then again it could be a money pit. best bet is buying one thats known to be a good un and pay a bit more

I know you've had one before Matt but what about a mk2 Focus RS if you could find another couple of grand (for a decent one).
