Ive always wanted an ST24, but im a funny bugger in the way i don't like paying a lot for cars. Ive owned some 45 odd cars in 10 years and i think only 2 of them i paid over a grand for!

Now this ST24 has popped up on the ebay, its an early one, done 110,000 miles, is standard,some tax but no MOT, starting at £400, so i emailed him and offered him £400, he said he would take £500 cash.

Problems it has-

Knocking on left side (normal wishbone issue i imagine)
Usual slight arch rust and body wear n tear for age
Skirt Jacking Covers missing
Might need 2 tyres
Heater only works on number 4

Im looking to purchase one to fix up and then sell my silver mk2 mondeo zetec 2.0 2000 reg once its ready..

Does this sound like a good buy for the money/problems it has?
