Hi - I would have thought £16 - £16.5k from a dealer for the 2008 one, around £13k for the older one (although I can see a dealer wanting more).

depends on all the extras - GAP insurance, tax. etc etc that they always add on.

try looking at some of the ones on sale here - slightly older most of them but alot cheaper - depends on wether you need manufacturers warranty or happy to get something cheaper that has none or very little left.

if your intending to upgrade the power - much cheaper to buy one already done.

happy hunting
thanks for your response, i kept the prices out to see the 1st reaction, the 2008 is up for 19995 and the other 15000 told you it was dear down here

Hi that 2008 is priced way to high just bought a Feb 2009, deact,advanced sat nav, vis pack it was 7months old 45miles on the clock ford direct only £19000 bargain
blimie - I think I will bring my ST500 down to the S.East and sell it there.

probably get my asking price from a dealer based on those prices.

you need to get looking further afield and spend a weekend away to buy one.

all the best in whatever you buy.

Hi Vikki,

take a look here, they have a good range of ST's at the moment.. No orange ones, but blue is the best colour anyway
) This is where I bought my ST from. If there are any there your interested in I would be happy to go have a look at them for you before you travel anywhere...
