Hey everyone

[LuvinBoost]

Hey whats up everyone! So admittedly I do not have a fiesta st..yet.. not all that long ago I had an 18 wrx that was stage 2 tuned on e60, alot of fun, but I had to get rid of it, as I moved into a nicer place and couldn't afford the payments on my wrx anymore. I now have a base model 2014 impreza. Yay.. haha, ment only to be an interim car until I get another boosted vehical, I've done alot of research and and now looking at getting into a fiesta st! Currently searching but I have to pay down my impreza a bit first, or sell it.

Welcome to the cult!

I don't have to tell you used cars are outrageous right now. '18 and up have backup cameras if that matters to you. '14s (and I think some '15s) had the recall where they put some crap on it to monitor the coolant level, but don't fix the problem (a coolant flow issue in the head, which got fixed with a redesigned head). Don't get one that's been recalled.
The paint on these cars is cheap, and some of them are so poorly painted, it flakes off under the hatch, hood or door seams. My '17 has some bubbles under the antenna, but the rest still looks fine. Just something to look out for.

The good news is that the FiST has turned out to be a reliable car for the most part. Some have a lot of miles, and they still run fine.

You make a good point. The FiST isn't all that fast, but it's simple by modern standards, and a hoot to drive. It's also easy to work on and gets decent mileage.
Used ones are selling for as much as new ones did a couple years ago, but they're worth it. It makes me grin every day.

I've seen a few around the interwebs in the 12g ish price point, ill just have to see what's around when I make the move to get one

 

[LuvinBoost]

So I currently have a local dealer who I have had great interactions with, I've bought my two previous cars from them, out lookin for one for me as we speak, so maybe I'll get an early Christmas present for myself? 😁

 

[iammacey]

Welcome. And good luck on the hunt.

 

[Dpro]

Welcome and good luck getting one. May you find a great example.

 

[LuvinBoost]

May have found one, I'll keep you guys posted. Found a 2016 with 32,xxx miles on it for 13,900

 

[LuvinBoost]

So it looks like there is a good chance I'll be gettin this one! I'll let you guys know if it pans out!

Is that a common thing at all with these cars? Or do I get to feel special and think I got something a bit original? Lol (if I end up with the car that is)

It is fairly common since they bolt right on. They made 3 different designs for the SVT Focus wheels over it 3 year run, 5-spokes (like this one has), 6-spokes (2004 only) and EAP wheels on the cars with the European Appearance Package option that are mulit-spoked, like 27 or something like that. They all just bolt on to the FiST so it's an inexpensive alternative wheel for a different look. I've seen all 3 designs on Fiesta ST's.

I came from a super powered scooby into the lowly Fiesta. Fiesta is way more special.

If you find a good one buy it don't go home and think about it, someone else will get it while you're lollygagging.

Yeah I'm trying to jump on this one, currently waiting on the dealership who will be purchasing this car, for me to buy from them.. to get ahold of me and let me know if it's gonna be a go or if it's not gonna work. They have left me in suspense all day yesterday, and nothing yet today.. super anxious rn 😬
