Just out of curiosity what was the millage on your ST's when it was first picked up from the dealers?
Mine had 80 miles on it???? (why I ask myself) and Darkhayz had 40, dealers reason: they had to test the ST out (twice for mine as they scratched the wheel when the supaguard was being put on.... Only asking this as saw the new cars others have bought on here and some have as little at 9 miles on it.

I saw a facellift Zetec in a dealership in Brentwood today when i tested the Focus ST. It only had 9 miles on it too. Obviously, Zetecs dont require 'testing out' like ST's!?

35 kilometers on mine but it had been driven from the main branch of my dealer's to the subsidiary where I picked it up (about 30 km) with my approval.



It must have been 10 AM when I picked it up
And it was on March 3rd...

Mine had 17 miles on it I think when I picked it up. Not really that many. I'd prefer the garage to do a few miles to find any faults first, rather than giving it to me with 1 or 2 miles on it and it breaking down the second I leave the dealer.

Nope not a demo as far as I know. They just said the ST goes through checks with them once they get them delivered cause they are are performance cars etc....

I had 12 on mine, which I thought was good. Anything over 50 is taking to p*ss if you ask me.

I've had a few new cars over the last 15 years and most, if not all have had less than 25 miles on. I suppose it's dependant on the dealer and their location.

Seems a bit high. I'd try to get something out of em like free mats. Mine had 9 miles on it but was taken to the petrol station and back. My previous car had 6!
