Going to phone later today was wondering if anyone knew anything about it.
Build number 2783.

spoke to the chap today its a 4 owner car and he has had it for 5 years.
It needs the timing belt done now and the water pump.
steering wheels shit like most is it a fair price or a bit on the dear side.

 

I dont recognise the plate

You looked on the RSBB etc and checked the build number?

I havent looked at the values of these for ages. It's funny too because I paid Ł7,500 for mine in 2008 with 57k miles and mods

 

That looks nice.

 

Had a look on the build list today looks nice. Only thing is the guy has been servicing it himself so only got a couple of stamps in the book

 

As a comparison mate i just bought one today for Ł7.5k, 53,000 miles, 3 owners, full service history, all old mots, cam belt done at 44,000, all wheels recently refurbed, 4 good tyres, immaculate condition inside and out (few minor stone chips which is the norm on these) including steering wheel, 2 fobs, 2 keys, RS wallet and mats, MOT till June but no tax.
I would say the one you are looking at is a touch on the expensive side but then again he hasn't sold it yet and may get no where near Ł8.5k. Having said that it does look like a nice car.

 

sound like you got a bargain there mate

 

^^^^Cheers mate. Hopefully being delivered sometime next week. Will get some pics up when it arrives.

^^theyre supposed to be grins lol^^

 

Sounds very nice mate was that the one on pistonheads at the petrol station

 

Not sure mate, i bought it through Ebay but the photo was on a petrol station forecourt in Nottingham.

 

Must have been ebay I seen it mate fancied that one myself but I need to wait till weekends before I can go look at cars as there are none for sale near me.
Been looking everywhere for one as well

 

This is the Ebay listing for the one i just bought mate:

Seller was a really genuine bloke and a big Ford nut, the picture below shows the Focuses he currently owns.



The blue RS at the front is the one i have just bought, the white RS is his own car and the 2 STs are his cars that he is currently selling on Ebay.
