the St exhaust does sound nice as sporty as standard but did change mine for a magnex cat back system

Yes, defo, very nice. Are they full stainless as standard?

Also, would a local Ford dealer do the lowering or would that invalidate any remaining warrenty?

---

no there not as standard, as for lowering that depend of ur ford dealer as they don't have the same polocy depending of the dealer, better ask them

Hi there,

I've just sold my Golf GT TDI and after weeks of thought, I've decided that its an ST I'm going for. I've got about 7-8k to spend and I'm after an 05/55 plate if poss.

I'd welcome any info on what to look out for on used models and any other genral info you can pass on?

Anyway, this seems a good forum so you'll be seeing plenty of me around here......

Cheers
Rich

Hi and welcome to the site, I'm sure you will enjoy the ST, it is a great little car. Sounds like you have plenty of advice on where to get the car from, I know you said black but check out "the lot" section of the site, there's a couple for sale at good prices

Hope you find what you want soon and look forward to seeing your pics and hearing your opinion!

Hey, welcome to the site.

Autotrader is showing that Alan Chatfield's in Stafford have got an 05 plate black ST for £7990 with 12K on the clock. They're own website isn't showing it though so I don't know if they'll still have it. Could always give them a ring and ask.

ok do understand what u mean, my ST wasn't reliable far from it! what at my ford dealer sometime everyweek and they could never find solutions to my problems, and cos they didn't sold many they told me than they didn't care much about my car so sold it and bought a polo gti instead. Do prefere the ST than the polo for handling but really got bored of the service and also wouldn't take much under warranty either

This doesnt give me much in the way of confidence before I go and spend 8k on one! Was yours a 'one-off' or are they pretty unrealiable in general?

I really hope they're not.

Surely they're not that new anymore, if I went to a dealer and they told me the same as you, 'we dont know much because they're new' I'd wipe the floor with em.

The 2.0 Zetec has been around for ages, its just that the ST is a tuned version of it, nothing new.

Honestly, dealers!

(please dont make me re-think my next motor, I've spent ages deciding on one of these, .........must......resist........corsa)!
