so nothing to worry aout engine wise really... i was more worried about the mechanical things that may appear from the pre-facelifts rather then a faelift which may have recived revised parts...

well seeing as you've had both... guess they are both similar in the way they are and how they drive...

would a ford dealer make me pay to see if it needed the latest software update?

no, do it as part of the deal when you buy it

If you get it serviced at ford, iirc they HAVE to do it

Pre-facelifts can be a bitch from cold, the early ones need an ecu update unless you like kangaroos

I think the front and back lights on the pre-facelift is nicest.
Never had any problems with my 05 pre facelift ST. exept that the esp light sometimes get stuck. So you can't turn the esp back on, but that is very rare(1 or 2 times a year.) and if you shutdown the engine and start again it works again.



mine does that and its a facelift
