Ok so I've made up my mind and ST it is. So, having been to a few local dealers in manchester can I get one??? NO!!
They're on a 12 - 16 week wait. Is this really worth it?? Plus they won't really budge on their price!!
What happens if I agree a trade-in price for my current car and 12 weeks down the line they turn around and say they'll offer me �2000 less than original. Can they do this??
The latest edition of Test Drive magazine (only �1.50) might interest you. I've passed it on now but I remember there was a section in it about the price of the Focus ST3. They rang several suppliers and got the car supplied almost immediately with around �2,000 off.
This is fate telling you to go for the Golf ! If its your own money your spending then I would personaly go for the Golf. You'll always be able to resell it and in a few years there wont be as many yobs driving them round in burberry caps.
