Default Sites other than autotrader???

as title suggests guys,

im in the market for an st225 focus, and my budget is £5500, OTA

ive been putting all my eggs in auto traders basket, but was wondering if there was similar dealerships that stock these cars

im living in west london, and i have an 80 mile radius search area (still haven't come across Malaysia airlines yet though)

most of the ones ive come across are complete sheds, with one looking like ron Jeromy filmed a scene in the back seat, with more splash back then a held in shit home from work

advice appreciated

I think your not going to find a genuinely decent ST225 for that money

Pistonheads - more petrol head type people on there autotrader seems to be mainly dealers now.

Gumtree is ok but being free means there are lots of dodgy buggers on their hahah.

Then as said, owners forums the like.

As said Gumtree can be good. What is good you get the street map of where its for sale and sometimes can be more local to where you live.

As people have said, pistonheads and gumtree, there's always ebay, on here and owners clubs, topmarques.co.uk could be worth a shout too.

Evans Halshaw have a runabouts section for older higher miles cars so may be worth a good look.
