Son wants one - his ST is a year old now... But, the RS has engine problems apparently and won't see one til September at earliest til they put it right! They were due to launch in the Spring.

I like the green too, blue next - and as son has had two white ST's in a row, he needs a change of colour......

i'll give him 5k for his st then.:D

Think he'd take around 13 - 14k for it... but would leave him car less til September, but he's not sure whether to go for the RS or not... longer he waits, more his car goes down in value, unless he sells it now and gets a run around for a few months.

Would seem Fords have made bit of a !!!! up, wonder what the problem is?

Edit - please note the word I used was a male hen and nothing stronger........

He's just seen a garage online saying that they have RS's available next month....

Or is that a way to get you in there.........

Or are Dagenham Motors telling porkies - which I doubt as they are usually very very good (only dealership I would go to). As they are owned by Ford's one would assume that they have the latest information which should be correct. Bit of a b*mmer that there's a problem with the engine, not good, especially in this market.

Changing the subject a tad.... you know me guys, like to versify....... if you have personalised plates, how much does it cost to have them transferred over to another vehicle??

Nice to see you tonight, my little Odd Maniac..

PS - if bored - give me and MrsE a hand on the supermarket thread, and have some fun!!

Sorry Crabbers, but its Sunday night, work tomorrow - one has to lighten up a bit..

In answer to your question, DVLA charge £80 and you need to fill in the V317 form.
