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.

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.
