Hi all, after a few years of not owning an ST badged car (sold my ST170 in 2010 and have owned a couple of focus titaniums since then) I decided it was time to put that right!
I looked at a few cars through the early part of the summer but found nothing that ticked all of my boxes. I was ideally looking for a 16 plated diesel ST3 in tangerine scream or deep impact blue, that didn't have too much mileage, had fsh and showed signs of some love!
I viewed a few cars that weren't all that, before this this turned up only nine miles away...I had to go and have a look! ST2, just under 26,000 with 6 service stamps in its book, 2 owners (both of whom were ...shall I say mature drivers!), good tyres (though three were Goodyears and a single conti...not good for my ocd lol) but unmarked interior and good paintwork.
The ford dealer selling it had sold it brand new, took it back in at 2 years on a trade in and resold it, then took it back in this year - they have also done all of its servicing and both of its mots.
It drove like brand new..so I had to have it!
The only negatives were the odd tyre.. which is easily remedied, the calipers weren't painted and looked shabby and it didnt have privacy glass...again easily remedied.
Three pics, one on the forecourt, one with my old Titanium X and one on the day of collection (the dealer had actually painted the calipers silver for me).
