Hi there i am a ST24 owner : ) and i love her!!shes quick (very quick!)allways has me stunned!!!the things that come in to mind when purchasing one to look out for would be check oil pump make sure oil is allways kept above half way at least!!on dipstick!!rattle on cam chain check for this can be very very expensive to have replaced and servicing and parts can be expensive due to v6 engine...but happy hunting and good luck...you will love it when you get it!!...dan

 

Hi there buddy, i went from a saph to a st24 and must admit i was blown away with the beautiful power outlay of the 24 and i'm told it's better on the 200, but if your looking for the raw speed and accelaration of a saph then there is no way, but as for the drive, i have driven new alfa gt 3.2 v6 and must admit the mondeo feels smoother. plus is much better on fuel than the cossie, although try and get 1 with ffsh or at least done at a reputable garage, can go quite bad if not looked after. good luck
ps. you can pick a good 1 up for about £2500 30+mpg if your not driving like a loony
richie

 

I've just got 1 on an 2000 x plate minter £2500 ffsh only done 45k

Goes well, faster top end than my mates escort monte cossie

Well pleased with it and the insurance is soooooooooo cheep

 

Can't see an st24 being faster than the escort monte unless it's been played with a bit, the escort should be capable of at least 150mph and standard st about 140, plus take a good bit longer to get there,

 

I had an ST24 saloon on a P plate which i loved, but swapped it for an ST200 last year and have to say its the nuts

It just handles and goes better than the 24 and i love the leather recaro's

MPG is not tooooo bad, and the insurance is quite high BUT, for the price you can get them for nowadays....thats a lot of car for your money

 

Heres an st24 that should be as quick as a std cossie

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=130029044517

3.0 hybrid conversion 290bhp and 234lbft. Even has a dyno printout to prove it

 

hiya matey, st24 owner here. gotta say the power is nice a smooth all the way to the top end, and as of yet i havent found a 200 that is faster than the 24.

main thing to check is the waterpump has been changed to the metal one as if the plastic one fails then it can take the headgasket with it and then you might aswell get a new engine.

just look out for all the usual ford bits that go wrong.

you wont be dissappointed.

 

I am about to start lookin too

 

cheers all. I had stopped looking and started to look at focus rs's but due to some changes in my life that should be coming along in around 9 months time I am back to looking for a nice ST200. will keep you informed, probably look to get one after christmas now. did they come in white??

 

Only the Police ST200 came in White, never seen a 24 in white either.Would look

 

I just sold a ST24 in white......... some 50 were ordered by the general public... now I own another ST24 this time in red. Why own two ST24 ?... handling, comfort, power, 30+ mpg ( sensible driving ), the first ST24 only had a bulb failure in 18 months. The current one needs.......... nothing. So good value for a lot of car.

 

I have just bought a White one

One owner from new, just got to iron out the little niggles now.

Al..

 

How much did you pick that up for if you dont mind me asking (pm me if you like) what are the niggles? does look nice

 

Nice car Alex, I had to settle for State Blue (I think its called).They look good in silver too.
Great cars & you get a lot of performance for your money.
