http://www.arnoldclark.com/used-cars...f/arnas-28142/

to replace my 03 plate 1.8 mp3 model focus

mines done 78000 so the miledge is the same,its just thay are asking for 248pm when i have been told by a freind that he paid less when he got his fiesta st.

my mate used these people for a hyundai coupe( shit ) i know but hey anyway they were good professional company and he would definately use them again,
you said 248 would be managable but theres one at 260 with a quarter of the miles

i might be jaded but i hate arnold clarke persoannly i wouldnt go near them

I would be patient and bide your time. You say they're just coming into your budget and you're obviously excited because you've been waiting for it. But you appear to be scraping the bottom of the barrel as it were.

A new Focus ST will be out fairly soon, wait for then and these will be a proper bargain then.
