    As I don’t use my RS I think I’m going to let it go. Had it 3 months & only covered 470 miles in it. Has only got 1770 miles in total.

    its Nitrous blue, forged alloys, lux pack, winter pack, painted calipers, sync 3, door edge protectors.

    ghost system installed.

    serviced October 30th, no outstanding fsa & didn’t need the head gasket doing.

    warrany till end of July 2020

    im willing to lose a bit on it so will be asking £28450

    located close to Leicester.

    Thats a shame, looks like a beaut and a keeper! Mine is only a plaything as a 3rd car, but have managed to do 5200 miles in 22 months, literally just driving it for the sake of it ( fun) ! Good luck, it should fly away fast with those miles.



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    9designs- When I got it I thought I’d be out in it all the time.

    I lost my wife back in August & bought this as a kind of pick me up! I don’t work any more & everything I need is in the village, shopping gets delivered to my door so I don’t realistically need a car at all let alone one that cost a tad under £30k.

    Sorry to hear that, can understand it’s sad times.    Perhaps use the car as an opportunity to go out and meet people. If cars are you thing then the RSOC has local monthly meets and shows through the year,  to make use of the RS and channel some thoughts and attention maybe.

    Wish you well in what you decide.

    I’m sorry for your loss. A car won’t replace a loved one –if it was an impulse purchase that you regret, get rid of it — it’s only a piece of metal and not worth stressing over. Best of luck.?

    RS Lurker’s advice seems spot on to me impulse happens just don’t make a rash decision. It may be difficult to find another in the future so low mileage and a good spec. But if you think its the right think sell and move on.

    I wouldn’t say it was an impulse buy as such, I had a green mk2 a few years ago & liked the idea of the awd mk3 when it came out. At the time I was self employed & was running a van + the Mrs car so didn’t get one.

    As has been pointed out the spec & mileage attracted me & I thought I’d use it more and make a hobby out of it + it’s something tangible to look at rather than £ sat in the bank earning very little!

    maybe selling before show season is a mistake? Who knows.

    I am sure you could get a social element out of the car. After all my car is no daily driver 5500 over two years probably 90% of the mileage is summer use. So mine is more a toy than an every day mode of transport. It makes me smile lifts my mood and I enjoy keeping it spot on.

    No where u are coming from mate lost my wife 2 years ago last December

    i bought mine as a pick me up as well but like you have only done 7000 miles in 18 months

    but those 7000 miles have been with the biggest smile you can get

    you can’t replace your wife but you can put a smile back on your face

    keep it unless the finances dictate differently

    best regards
