very nice review good looking car
Thanks:beer:
I had two dealerships out here who wanted $5k over sticker. What a joke. Had to do a little leg work but got one on X-plan. :burnout:
I'm having no problem finding them at invoice.
The ST is a great looking car and I'm sure it performs well but i couldn't justify spending 30k on one when i can get a slightly used Subaru WRX STI for the same price. In fact i don't think there that much more brand new and if you could work in some incentives you maybe able to get the prices of the 2 cars new pretty close. Ford really would have won me over if the ST had around 300 HP and TQ as well as an advanced AWD system similar to the WRX STI. The Focus ST is like a neon srt-4 imo, it's direct competitor will be the new dodge dart srt-4. If the ST was priced more like a neon or dart ford would be on the right page, 25k out the door is the absolute max they should charge for it imo.
$30k is sticker for a fully loaded ST (very long list of features). Base price is under $24k. I don't know if you have driven a new Dart, but it is quite a disappointment. It's underpowered, tranny is pitiful, and it seems a bit flimsy to me.
I like an STi, but I'd be more interested in it if I lived in an area that sees a decent amount of snow. I look at it like a Raptor, if I lived somewhere where I could put it to use I'd probably buy one.
