Yep, you read that right.
Been offered the opportunity to buy a Focus ST170 estate from a mate of mine, i helped him out recently by driving it back from Nottingham after he won it at auction...he's sorted it all out now, and is ready to sell it, and is offering me first refusal. Considering i drove it on the 4 hour trip back from Nottingham, i think i've had a fair test drive, and that was a fault finding mission as it was. I must admit I did have a right laugh driving it back, and it turned out the vvti was faulty and running in a low power state, so i can see me having a lot of fun with it, with all the practicality of an estate. In fact, i was actually looking for an estate when i bought the DT, but it just turned up at the right time in the right place.
So, this means i need to find out how much i might be able to get for the 306. Obviously most of you know what i've put into this car, and most of it is laid out somewhere in this thread!
It's now on 126k, has tax till June, and MOT till January.
Bad points are that the fuel economy is atrocious at the moment, but i'm hoping the thermostat might be a big contributing factor, which I will be changing as soon as I can actually get the right part!
It's also still only got the Lucas pump, the passenger door loom has a break in it, causing the central locking to not work properly. Otherwise, it will come pretty much as you see it. I also have a set of Lasers with 3 shot tyres, and a set of 5 Ariannes with no tyres that will also be for sale, as i can't see them fitting the Focus.
So, what do you guys/girls think my DT is worth?
EDIT: And is anyone interested in buying it?
