Hey all,

Just registered, I have been eyeing up the ST for quite sometime now and I am very close to buying. The ST I am looking at is this one ST Autotrader

I've had a look at it and it seems good as new with 11,000 miles on the clock. Just want to hear your opinions on it, if it would be better getting a cheaper older one with some more miles on the clock ( but I like the idea of having a newish car to burn the miles in myself!)

The dealers cars come from Ford Credit and is currently SORN also. So any suggestions / feedback would be grateful.

Buy it mate!!!
Price is right,looks a bargain to me.
Same colour as mine,just needs the Mountune 165 upgrade and it will be spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like a stunning example to me mate with only 11k on the clock its practically a new car. Ive only had mine for a month its an 07 plate and only 14k on the clock. Only difference being that i found mine on Ebay. If i were you i wouldnt let that slip away not for the price and considering what your getting i can tell you it sooo worth it!

Seems like a good car! It needs lowering though

Mine has all that, same colour and everything, except it's 57 plate, full leather seas and 17k miles, with a k&n air filter and mine was advertised for sale a lot cheaper than that bad boy!

Thanks guys will take it for a test drive and see how she fairs.

wtfrage360 I guess that's because of it being a 2007 it would be quite a bit cheaper, hopefully i'll be able to bring the price down further though when I go to buy it!

That one is like 3 months newer than mine, and less extras. Seems a bit pricey or I've been advertising mine too cheap.. lol

Another question guys, the cd player I saw doesn't look like the one i've seen in other ST pics.

Seen ones with the Sony CD player like here

Reckon I might be able to knock more money off when mentioning this?

hi kraven, i too am about to buy an ST and in my fusiness, i waited for a car with the Sony premium system, rather than without. I'd have guessed that this system would have cost a fair bit more as an option when the car was brand new. Therefor it's not unreasonable to state two similarly priced cars of same age/mileage/trim etc should have a difference since you would have paid more for that system (even if that was the only difference).

I was also pondering that...

If you have the Sony CD player in the ST you can't have the multichanger, am I correct thinking that?

From what I understand, you're correct

Thought so, I have the multichanger, I preferred the look of the original anyway and wasn't too much for the sony one.

horses for courses - it's up to you really. there are pro's and con'swith this choice. for me i just like the fact that the sony system had that piano black finish, and also that the cd/radio was labelled "SONY", so it looks quality and probably performs just like all the other Sony products that i own.
yes i believe the cd multichanger may well swing it for you in terms of practability, but for me it's not really a problem to chang ethe cd when i get fed up of it. each tot heir own i guess.

Another thought too was in terms of future planning; if you're considering doing any alterations to the interior of the car such as facia surrounds etc on the dash/cd area, the choice of system might affect the look.
For me the piano black Sony system would look really nice against a piano black facia surround, or indeed a carbon fibre effect facia surround.

Ah okay thanks guys, the Sony one definitely looks nicer to me. But isn't a big issue.

Has both the ford/Sony label, and 6 disk changer functionality. £120 on ebay.


Model: CD132-CD6

Got the price down, picking it up next weekend. Cant wait

A whole week to wait!? Sleepless nights, especially Friday

Welcome BTW

Hey guys,

Picked up the car. Loving it, very fast and handles like a dream, one thing i've noticed and not sure if this is normal. The wheel feels like it tries to correct itself as I'm driving which is fine for example turning left it will try go back to straight position but when I slow down to a traffic light I notice that sometimes the wheel will start moving to the right which feels a bit odd, is there some kind of stabilising system?

The car has a year warranty left on it so its no problem to get it looked at + 3 months from dealer I bought it from.

Mine's never done that... Get it booked in and checked under warranty, may as well use the warranty you have mate!

How much did you end up getting the price down to?

Mine does a similar thing every now and again - tramlining i think its called Roads fault not the s

Dirty great big lorries are responsible!!!

They create grooves in the tarmac and ur running in them by the sounds of it!!

Try hitting one on a motorbike!!

Hey, the steering wheel seems to move when left or right when I go over uneven road, not sure if I am just to use to my old car or if its not right, but as you said you've not had that so will try get it checked.

Are all Ford garages pretty good?

I got the car down to £8.5

Yh the is known to tram line a bit more than some other cars. I dont really notice it that much anymore, just got used to it

just have to be ready for that odd moment when it twitches when your driving along
