Its exactly 3 years old so I expect its the end of a lease period.

Also a finance repo wouldn't have be serviced in the last few days.

£13.50 is a crazy price, great value. I would have bought as many as i could get my hands on at that.........

Correct. But, get a Blufin on it, and it rises to 237BHP and 263 Ft/Torque. makes quite a difference. If you start changing exhausts etc, you can easily achieve over 300BHP.

If we're talking RS's for 13k then it has to be either a 3 door sierra or an Ecsos for me Never been a fan of any Focus.

65k on a 3 yr old car with FFSH won't be a problem i'd think.
I have an LCR with similar miles - similar specced car but the FRS is that much rarer, and turns more heads - and I understand it handles better too.
Anything around £10k would be cool for that.

What? L.C.R. or a focus RS? It must have been a L.C.R. as they only made the R.S. in Blue!!!

That would be pointless as the car is FWD so the power would be wasted.
