Hi everyone

Just looking for a bit of advice, I'm looking at getting a fiesta but don't know if to go for the st or zetec s, I've had a seat Ibiza fr and a turbo vectra so like the sound of the st.
I'm just looking to downsize my car and have a little less running cost currently have a vw bora 1.9 tdi pd 150bhp just keeps going wrong.

Thanks Dan

If your after cheaper running costs then you need the ZS, the ST mpg is bad.

Well defiantly getting a ST is there anything to look for when getting one and is a higher mileage bad or would I be better getting one with under 60k on the clock

Good choice.

Obviously get the best example you can afford, if your budget stretches try getting a facelift one as it has the better dash and trip computer!

Lower millage obviously better, one thats got fsh and the little amount of owners the better!

Get the best condition that your budget can get that's what I did, mine was older than most models but immaculate in every way when I bought her and that was more important to me

Pretty much this!

Make sure you have a proper look down all the panels for dents etc, i thought i did until a couple days after i noticed 5 quite bad dings and very nearly put it up for sale after just two weeks of owning it!

3 years later i still have it so i obviously loved it enough

You need to short list a few that you like or are interested in and then go check them out. AutoTrader was perfect for me. Prices were slightly cheaper up north if you're willing to travel. Expect to pay more for a white

Yea I've noticed the white ST are more, looking at £5000 for a 2007 with 70k but can get a black or blue one for £4000 with 40 - 60 k

I would always look at low mileage with an older car personally, i would try and buy one with around 40k.
