Sorry lads but £8k is way more than i wanna pay.
I've seen some going for around £6500-£7k so i might go look at them.
I have seen one for £5495 and i think this dealer doesnt realise what he has got so i might get a bargin

Hi Liam - I seen your FRP on autotrader and yeah it looks nice fair play.
Have you changed the Calipers or just painted them?

I no you want a Focus RS but you've only had the FRP since april - Why do you want to change it already?

Plus have you have your Idle problems sorted as it was cutting out on you before?

when i bought the car it had idle problems which is nothing to sort out, it also needed the cam belt changing, as i work for ford i had the head skimmed and new gasket to higher the compression, and i bought all new sensors, and cam belt kit, it had just had a new s/s tubalur manifold,i done all of the work for peace of mind for myself, i love the car but i love my mates rs more, and ive just turned 21 so i can now get insurance on an rs, so thats why im selling it,

id buy it if i was looking for 1.

I have a guy from Gloucestershire who has one with 59k cam belt done and new brakes and s/s exhaust saying he'd go to £6500 so sorry but your £8k with 7k less miles can't be worth £1500 more

Take a look at this Lads and see if you can spot any problems?

The ones i can see is it doesnt say anything about LSD, Tax&MOT is nearly up plus wear on Steering Wheel.

He wants £6500 - What do you think?

What are you on about Pete??

I am looking for a Ford Racing Puma - and i am asking some of the lads advise on buying this one.
