Focus ST 3 - £15,749 form Internet Broker

I have been looking at buying the Focus ST 3 and the cheapest price I can find is this http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/index.htm?news_id=2680

Has anyone bought a car from these guys before? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Also, if I print off this quote and take it to my local dealer are they likely to match the price?

  • From what I've read here it doesn't look likely that the dealer will do much of a deal, but why not try?!
    Can't comment on that broker, but other brokers have quite similar prices (https://www.autoebid.co.uk https://www.ukcarbroker.co.uk etc) which suggests that they are available at that sort of price (rather than being a con etc)...

    A dealer will not match this price.

    These cheap cars will be preregistered so you will be the second owner and delivery will be in Jan-May depending on the broker.

    You will not get the Prodrive driving day available for the first 1500 buyers.

    But cheap as chips! A bargain and its going to be the hot hatch to have in 2006, you will probably not lose a lot on the car for a year.

    Am very tempted.
