Does anyone buy a Focus RS and keep it?
 

There are 40 for sale on the PH website!

How many have been sold since release?

They are all for sale at or above list price. Is the demand for them that high?

Steve

Think a fair few are bought to sell at a premuim. As with any car where demand outstrips production, where that car is sought after. Be it the latest Ferrari, or an RS Ford.

Think some will also be those who bought it, disliked it, and are trying to get rid. As with Subaru's, they are thirsty little bu66ers, so I suppose the ownership cost has caught a few people out.

PS. Not many Blue ones about though. Most I've seen both in the flesh and for sale have either been White or Green. Prefer the Blue myself.

I like the white ones.

I keep thinking, bugger it, and getting one and then I think. No. Get a Mini Cooper for the wife and another MX-5 for me.

Steve

Both macho cars them mate. :lol1:

I don't need another macho car, my Octavia boosts my testosterone levels ;)

Steve

get another mx-5 - you know it makes sense ;)

I'm dying to drive mine again *argh*

The last one was a nail. I need to convince my wife that I was unlucky and had the only duff one in the UK! She'll need a 4 seater as well so it would be 3 cars in the house again. It's that or a hot hatch that I can enjoy as well as getting her to Tescos to buy tampons and cake mix.

Mrs Winner was going to get one as her company car, She decided against it becuase its just to much for a daily. Looks, sound, ride all the things that make it cool on a Sunday afternoon make it a nightmare at 6:30 on a dark cold monday morning.
That could be a bit to do with it.

you wouldent regret the RS, people are buying to make money evan main dealers now everyone is jumping on the band wagon, i myself think its a little late to buy for proffit however im sure they will hold value as good if not better than most


shop around you could get one within weeks, some people have waited over a year

Mine going nowhere, you can easily get one in just over a month specced to order from Rates Ford Essex, Calvin has builds available.(Tiny collects his on sat after ordering 8th ish august) And will be LIST price.

As much as I'd like one, I really should buy a house first!

I don't want to do a Trout and use the funds from our house sale to buy a depreciating (abeit slowly depreciating) asset.

Steve

You'd probably loose more money on a house at the moment mate. Don't tell Sunnyside up though.

I would say most of the RS's on PH at the moment are dealer demo's and speculators all trying their hands.

Saw my first one today, sounded superb, looked good but a bit to lairy looking for me to consider me, getting old and sensible like.

Like I've said, if it came in black.....................

Im certain there will be a black one kicking around soon. ;) Talk of someone getting there's wrapped, Also a Red.

look at some of the cars these do, RS in chrome anybody ;)
