Gauging Interest - Focus RS

Howdy,

Now this would be the second time I'm posting this up in recent months.

I'm keeping it, I'm not keeping etc etc, the current economic climate is forcing me to sell things and give up things I don't want to, but that's life I suppose.

So this is not a 100% up for sale as of YET, but I just want a show of force to see whose interested at what prices. If I don't get the price I have in mind than I will be forced to split and sell as standard.

CAR -

2003 Ford Focus RS #1669 (Phase 1 so to speak)
38k Mileage
FSH
SORN
6 Months MOT

Spec

320bhp 319 ft/lbs

JohnFRS Hybrid Turbo
JohnFRS Oil feed & return
Nortech Manifold
Blueflame turbo back exhaust
K&N Gen II
Pro Alloy Chargecooler
Bluefin / TUNA remap

Exterior

FRS Splitter
Smoked Headlights
HIDS
US Spec rears
Smoked front indicators

Bad bits

slight ding in the rear quarter panel which was done before I bought it, its never bothered me

2 kerb marks and brake dust stains

Looking at offers over £10,000

The car has only ever been used in the wet 3 times since November 2007 which was when I bought it. The car is cared for in the best possible way, I treat the car better than I treat the misses (which I suppose is usually the case)

The car spends most of its life in the garage, and only making appearances in the summer months and on the weekends when I feel the need for some 'schoolin'

beautiful FRS mate, and a shame to have to sell it. seems to be a common thing at the moment with the ay things are.

if you did decide to put the car back to standard id take the Hyrbid, oil feed and return and the nortec manifold if it has the standard FRS flange on it.

all the best with the sale mate

Price sounds very fair to me, especially with the treats it already has and the mileage.

TBH I'd like to think it should be worth a little more than that, so at that price it should be snapped up quite sharpish.

Either speak to a guy on RSOC called phil_hay or keep a very close eye on eBay as they dont stick around long.
