I think its fair to say that the value of the FRS (great car that it is) has remained pretty well inflated for the last few years due to a distinct hole in the fast ford market. That hole has just been filled. I'm thinking the next few months are going to be a great time to pick up a cheap RS as their owners look to upgrade/offload their cars as people start waking up to how good the ST is. Having driven both cars I know which I prefer and it ain't blue!
Top comments mate.
My brother keeps saying that the ST will loose money quicker.
Lets just wait and see. All cars loose money at the end of the day.
A NEW MODEL WILL ALWAYS BRING AN OLDER MODELS PRICE DOWN.
So i might buy a cheap RS
to use daily and use the ST
for summer only .
