Mk1 Focus RS's
Hi all,
Been looking at these as Id love one, especially to take to Ford Fair this year and have noticed the prices are all over the place There seems to be no shortage of them in the market either. Are they are buyer or sellers market at the moment? Are they easy to sell? There also a few for sale on the vcar Ideally a hpi clear car less than 75/80k would interest me Just wanted some input |
Plenty for sale matey.... Start from £6000 up looking at things

yup
prices vary massively £5k one on vcar - average miles £6k low mileage vcar £6.5k high mileage standard £7.5k average milage standard £8k modified £9k heavily modded £10k + mint low miles, or heavy mod list condition varies massively, they all look the same in photos, so you need to see them in the flesh. some are neglected, some are immaculate. usual rust spots: front and rear arches front wings where they meet bumper under wing mirrors and on tailgate sills and lower parts of rear arches look for signs of botched wiring service history important should come with 2 sets of keys, leather RS wallet, RS mats (unless seller is being tight) they are great cars buty most are 10 years old now so do show age. interior wears well but alcantara can bobble and rip theres so many out there now though you should be able to find a good one |

Some good advice given above....they do all look the same in pics as already said and often cleaner than they are so you really need to go check them out as there are plenty of dogs out there!
Everyone will tell you they're a 6k car now etc but in reality the good ones still go for strong money (9k+) and people who aren't fussed on having an 'average' higher mileage example will buy up the cheap ones (6/7k ers). What's your budget? Great cars though if you get a good one, buy on condition first and mileage 2nd :) |
Your quite close to me mate my mint Focus Rs will be up for sale soon 330 bhp! 03 plate but has considerably low mileage after £8700!
|
Ive got mine up at £8750 but the prices are as shown above, they can be quite varied.

Brand new 500hp spec ian Howell engine (700 miles) Gt3076r with tial 44mm wastegate Autronic sm4 Blah blah blah you get the idea just needs mapping on the new engine |
