I love the matt black finish, but I'm still gonna be cynical about it You could have Ford paint a normal RS in that colour and slap a whole lotta engine mods to get more power than the Focus RS500 and still have change left over from not buying one.

Correct, just like most special editions. Still, they will hold their price a little bit better, same as folk want a sierra rs500 rather than a modded 3dr with the same spec

Yeah, but I doubt somehow it'll ever hold the value an RS500 does. What FWD has???

Look at how the FRS holds its value compared to a similar aged CTR



I remember when a good 3dr was cheap as chips, now they going back up again, the FRS will do just the same

Again, FWD. I don't see them holding value for some reason. Like the MK1 FRS which is a great car, but the value is getting worse. I hope I'm wrong, but its not often
