My friend is selling his because he needs a car daily and since buying the RS has found he's too paranoid about leaving it in supermarket car parks, getting stone chipped, running up the miles etc... so he's selling it to a dealer who's pretty much bitten his arm off for the car. However, since March, the car has done c2200 miles, is Ultimate Green and has every extra apart from the Shat-Nav.

Cheers,
Grant

Hi dick cock. It's because there's a recession. Cars also depreciate. Check out similar models from other manufacturers. It's not specific to ford.

Aye, the dealer said that they're struggling to get hold of them (could be bollox.. could be true) but that they paid strong money because of the condition, mileage and the options that his car has got... he's away to get an S2K instead, then at some point, supercharge it to ridiculous power levels. Should make an interesting daily driver!!

Grant

I think that if you can afford to buy a £30k car then putting petrol into it isn't going to be much of an issue

whatever , whatever

if you buy a car, the least you'd be able to do would be to afford to run it, why spunk £20/£30k on a motor if you then bitch about not having enough money left over to fill it up or put tyres on it?

I think the mk2 focus rs is a nice lookin car. Ive spoke to a few people who have them and they say they are a really good car for performance and handling. If i had some spare money i would have one.
