Question Focus RS Direct...

Seen a car that takes my fancy and is being advertised by Focus RS Direct in Avon Question is....what are they like to deal with the and are the cars genuine or snotters??

Bit of a mind field out there with any car and marquee, and would like a nice, easy, straight forward deal

Any advice or head ups would be greatly appreciated

Good to hear Lovely white example thats screaming out to be pulled to pieces and built properly

Finding it hard to gauge what i should be paying for one....some ive seen are as low as Ł16k....all the way up to a collasal Ł27k. Very little difference between them only a few thousand miles..

They seem very spot on. Even post on Facebook about RS that are advertised else where that have had things changed like stereos and stuff.

Not seen any bad comments on Facebook about them and all seem spot on honest cars.

Just what i like to hear Usually if somewhere is on the dodgy side, its plastered all over the internet to avoid, and a question like this on a forum will reveal and hidden secrets they may have

Ive sent a message to them regarding the car, so awaiting a response

I don't know personally like just from what I've seen in thier Facebook page. Always selling and buying a lot of RS's.

If I was to get one that is definitely where I would I go. Like you say it would be apparent if they were dodgy fuckers.


If only I could get one from them

I used to subscribe to their facebook page. They spam and spam and spam on there all day with links to their cars for sale, other links of no interest etc. Ended up deleting them as I was fed up with scrolling through page after page of news feed on my phone to get to my actual friends I am sure they are perfectly fine however just seems to be like a bit of an unprofessional way of doing business, so I would choose to avoid them.

Seemed advertised as modded to me as they stock as fit all sorts of kit for the RS and advertise modded cars as such.

You never know.


Yeah they do post a lot on Facebook Richie, I don't mind though as I have a sad existence and it wastes a bit of time.

Sleeve or a joint in the exhaust at the backbox. Standard exhausts are one piece from the factory and pass over the suspension for starters...
