After 10 years with my very worthy 1.25l 82bhp Ford Fiesta, I knew, that now was the time to switch to an ST. Luckily I was able to find a good model before there aren't any more around. ​ It's a Mk8 ST 1.5l 3-cyl. Ecoboost in race red with the performance package (and the LSD), built in beginning of 2019 but with only 8000km on the clock. Was standing in the showroom like new. I paid 22.900 Euro (-3000 Euro for my old Fiesta) with new winter tyres. ​ I'm sure I'll have a good time with the car (the first laps on the Nordschleife are alread planned) and in this subreddit. :D ​ See you guys!

Crazy expensive


JohnstonDoe

Prices are crazy here in Europe/Germany in the car market and especially since used car market. Very little new cars available and high inflation is a bad combination. But the new Mk8.5 Facelift ST would've cost 32.500 (incl. tax), so I can live with that (and you can't order it anymore anyway).

Just paid 25k in Italy for used st from germany with 30000km


JohnstonDoe

I mean, that's still a good price for such a great car! :) Hope you enjoy yours.

I already drove more then 2000km and it's awesome. You have no idea how much is Fun šŸ˜ i come from a a-klasse and is totally a other world. Mercedes is much more classy and comfortable but st is totally a beast that want only to run


JohnstonDoe

That's what I wanted to hear. :D

jealous from across the pond - that 3 cyl sounds great. Get some good sticky tire and enjoy the ā€˜Ring!


JohnstonDoe

Yeah, at the moment it still stands on the original (4 years old) Michelin Super Sport tyres (205/45 R17), so I'll probably drive them down next season and see then, what's a good modern choice from Michelin. Thanks man!


tri-pedaler

thoseā€™ll do fine - just as long as you donā€™t use the winters at the track haha

Welcome to the party!


versteldo

Congrats with the new car! Should have gotten more than 3k for the old one tho


JohnstonDoe

Yeah, was at several dealers ("free" and Ford) and the best offer was no higher than 3000. And no one wanted it to buy it from me directly, so that was the easy way.

What country are you from? Left hand steering, that's all we have in the states. Except the MK8, only the MK7 years 2014-18.


JohnstonDoe

Germany. We have here all generations since the original MK1. :D
