What car? 10-12k Newport/Cardiff area

[cs02rm0]

I'm after something roughly with < 30k miles, < 3 years old, petrol, > 170bhp.

I've tried going after all the Focus STs in the classifieds and on autotrader, but they seem to have all been sold yesterday.

If I look further afield there seems to be more choice in A4s, 3 series, Golf GTIs, etc. but there seems hardly any choice around South Wales?

Any other suggestions? Ta.

What budget? Civic Type R?

Edit: Ah, 10-12k then. I had a CTR and loved it but not particularly family friendly regarding rear seat access.

Try www.Parvaprestigecars.co.uk ask for Chris..if he doesn't have anything in stock he will know of something that fits the bill I would think.

Don't fancy the civic, not for any solid reason, just personal taste.

Those two sites look good, some more interesting options there than the usual I've seen, thanks!

You could always try riverside garage in Crickhowell. He has an 56 plate EO ST3 3 door for sale. with dual climate, visibility pack, isofix mounts and the bluetooth/voice control.

Thanks guys, just paid out for an 07 ST-3, had a great day today!

Now goe and buy yourself a product called dreamscience strategem. The best £500 you will ever spend on upgrading a car. You think a standard ST is reasonably quick, try a Ds'd one !

Tempted. Heard good things about Bluefin too.

The advantage DS has is that you buy a box with five lives on itwhen you sell it on it has a residual value as it will still have 4 lives on it. I got £400 for mine with 4 lives left. |If you join focusstoc.com as a full member used ones come up quite often.
