Default Where are all the decent MK5 Fiesta Zetec S's????

I'm trying to help a neighbour find one, but all are either sold or are sh**ters. It's been harder trying to find one to look at then it was finding my cossie last year.

I've been and registered with ZSOC.com and Zetecs.com, searched e-bay, auto trader, xchange and mart, checked here, checked at Ford, there is literally 1 can within 120 miles that's any good and the owner of that isn't at home this weekend

Just got an 02 plate for my missus, black 1.7i with the multi spoke wheels rather than the older style desk-fan ones, done less than 30k, absolutely mint condition for just under 6k. Revs like fuck and goes really well, suits her perfectly too

As I said if it was me in her shoes, that's what I'd be after, but you know what these women are like

know what your going through here, when i tried explaining to family and friends how little times these cars come up for sale for they wouldnt believe me!

i looked everywhere luckly after about a month or two a decent LOW miler FFSH with A/C turned up and i got it VERY cheap, very nice little pokey cars, mine does 230miles on a full tank around town driving BUT the only bad thing about them is how often the Heater Control Valves go on them and the new ones that ford make cause the cars to over heat if you select cold air!

goodluck!

Yeah, Imperial Blue, mileage is mid 80's

FSH
Lowered on avo coils
Twin Exhausts (custom made (can't remember who by ))
Bluefin
Puma racing front seats, rest of interior matched in blue alcantara.
Puma knob
Smoked front and rear lights
Tints front and back (mild tint)
Always well looked after.

I know for a fact he will take less than that as he has just bought a Focus RS

Here's his number if you're interested: 07727664250

Say Ben with the Fiesta turbo gave you his details

Not sure if that is what you're looking for but I'm sure he would swap parts for standard etc. Who knows.. give him a bell if you want, his name is James

Thanks for the info mate, but the mileage has put her off. She's got up to £5k to spend on the car and is looking for as low mileage as possible with FSH.

As I said, thanks for the info
