Hi folks, I'm going to be selling my st170 estate but not sure how to value it as only double figures left, very good condition,panther black,half leather,full service history,mot, 60 k miles. Totaly standard, Just need a realistic guide as it's really rare but not sure if much interest in these, thank you if anybody can help me a little.

 

Is the body work rust free? It's got to be a 1500 quid car.

I sold my old ST170 with both custom and climate pack, it had 124k on the clock and the body work was tatty. I got 900 quid for that.

 

Perhaps Ł1500 for a Ford enthusiast. Get it advertised around the Ford forums with some pictures.

To any other general buyer it's just an old Focus, and they wont give a monkeys that there are only 14 left, maybe Ł750-Ł1000. They weren't particularly popular with the general buyer when new, and that hasn't changed with the passage of time.

 

Yes it's totally rust free arches sills etc and totally genuine, even the car insurance database don't know they exist that's how rare they are,it feels a giveaway at that price but I guess marketforce dictates, maybe the fleabay might be an option.

 

Got any pics so we can all have a dribble?

 

To be honest they weren't particularly popular when new and with high running costs and rather lacklustre performance they didn't hold their money particularly well.

Advertise it at 1500 if you want but I'd say a grand would be more realistic, but take any offer close to that.

 

owned and broke more 170s than I care to remember, the lower spec one as yours sounds is a ok car but like richie mentioned the estate was not that popular due to high running costs and tax group plus did not handle that great, with these cars it all comes down to factory options and colour and condition and I mean right underneath too as they rot, magnum grey & black are the most common colours and richies value is spot on if fault free where as a estate in imperial blue will fetch the highest premium

not a giveaway at all as these websites saying how many left are NOT accurate, like any sporty ford values will rise but estate versions are way off being a collectors item and lower spec ones are even less desirable and if you wish to advertise it on here you will need to obtain gold membership

 

I could never understand why you couldnt get the custom pack/recaro seats in a ST170 Estate.

I thought the one I had went ok and handled well.

 

in my 1 mile walk to school, I pass two of them, and a bloke at work has one! common as old red buses round here

 

Thanks for your knowledge folk's, personally I think they handle really well,quickish once on the boil and in estate version something a bit left field, nice to be a little different in this world, still prefer my Puma though with 36k on it, it's a pure delight.

 

it was due to alterations on the rear bench to make the recaros fit ford were penny pinching and thought it was not worth the aggro on such a small run of estate cars


the mid spec one which had xenons, sunroof, parking sensors and rear spoiler and climate control as well as front and rear heated screens is a more desirable version out of the 2 options ford made and if in imperial blue would easily fetch 2k+
