Thinking Of Buying An St 3 From The Following Dealers What Should I Realistically Pay?

QUOTE(Scarry @ 4 Nov 2009, 06:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hi all,

Thinking of joining the ST owners club (i.e. buying an ST), have been looking at various cars on Autotrader etc. Was wondering if i leave the links to the websites you could cast your eyes over them and see what you all think and the realistic prices i should be paying for the cars in question. Thanks in advance. Scarry

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/adv...9&logcode=p This one is fairly local to me just 60 odd miles away and sure i saw it on Ebay for £14000 but didn't have the funds at hand, missed out there me thinks.

Look forward to hearing from youse.

Hello Scarry

If the distance is not a problem, I would go for the one @£14995 a lot better spec all round and not a bad price for what you are getting, however if the pennies will stretch try and get the facelift model, theres nothing wrong with the old shape at all, but its always nice to have the latest model.

Cheers

I'd go for the 07 plate - £995 cheaper (maybe discount a bit more?) and with the saving you can spend £100 on a TomTom sat nav
i still think you could haggle down as i picked up a 06 plate ST2 from a honda dealer for £11000 when it was up at £11995 a month ago - can't see a year newer ST3 being worth £3k more?

I've bought a Scooby from eddie wrights a few years back, had a couple of niggles but they sorted everything - i'd buy from them again if they had the car at the right price

I'd buy a ST500 with leather DEATC and silver stripes and only 6500 miles

oh and I am selling one just like that in the for sale section !!

prices look OK on above but I'd go for lower mileage one and try to negotiate price - silver is a rarer colour

I'm glad you've got yourself something sorted

Was going to say with regards to that first one, don't waste your money. The description is all over the place. ST3 + 3x3 point rear seatbelts = not an option. SATNAV + cd mutlichanger iirc = impossible. Heated door mirrors = not an option. And I'm pretty certain the only service indicator on an ST is the sticker a service centre would stick somewhere to tell you when it's due I don't like it when people lie in their adverts and people need to make sure that everything listed on an advert is present on the car if not, tell the seller they are a t sser and walk away.

Didn't look at the second one but no matter. Enjoy

Who cares what we think. Enjoy your new

Not sure were you get your info from but you do get HEATED mirrors on the 3 have had them on both and you can get a multi-changer with the disc satnav

Heh ... well that's another good reason for me to believe that my dealer is an absolute plank then!
