Most folk are silly with their money when their young.........this is a whole new level though. I cant get my head around £3k insurance being a goer!

at the end of the day paying that much money a month for what is essentially a non descript family hatch that will loose tons of moeny as soon as you drive it home is some sort of financial russian roulette except you know which chamber the bullets in and yet still pull the trigger

Dont reckon its worth it at all, lovely car and dont get me wrong id love one but £800 a month just for a car is silly and i reckon you'll regret it when you think of where that money could of gone.

Still a decent wedge for being on the tools at 20
If you work hard & dont have any commitments you might aswell enjoy it....id be trying to work on that ins cost though.

your price: £2526.55
quote for a 52 plate focus rs. £200 more than the fiesta right now.
up for £12,800.
it would be wiser to do this as for 1, it's cheaper and 2, they will hold their value better.
i just don't know

I think I'd go for the RS. Prefer them to the ST for a start plus its sure to be a future classic.

i'm feeling the rs love tbh.
cheaper to buy and insure.
think i'll speak to my dad the number's genius and work it all out.
stealers offered me £6750 for the fiesta which means i would have to pay £1900 to pay off my options deal.
then i'd owe nothing. sounds a better deal tbh (same power car)

But, the RS is likely to need more maintenance + no warranty.

Should be called an options done, not an options deal.
I thought you bought it cheap off Ford, sell private for more then not owe anything back on it?

The RS is far nicer imo, So you could get that, still have a nice fast car and have more money in the bank for yourself each month.
Everyones a winner.

i know
swaying towards the mk1 rs now really, always loved them + my dad will know how to fix anything that breaks (advantage of being a life long ford worker/owner)
will just haved to see how much the rs will be a month now, insurance is 300 quid cheaper and car is 7k cheaper, obvious choice really
