FS 6k mile FiST on BAT right now

[Rallyfan74]

No recaros, slicktop. The thing looks gorgeous. Guy bought it in 24 and put 5400 miles on it. He got it on BAT for 22k. He says it was stored the whole time by a collector. Wonder wonder what this is going to go for?

thanks for sharing the link I couldn't get it to work for some reason. 30K? maybe, that would be a real sign on the market for these. I think it's a few years from that kind of price though. I'd pay 22k for that all day. If it had the moonroof (I live in the desert and having a sunroof to help ventilate is essential to me) I'd be really interested, and if it was white lol. Though that grey is growing on me.

interestingly I paid around 20k w/ around 4k miles in fall of 2020 for my 19 fiesta, same color and specs. Got it at Mercedes in dealer in fancy Newport Beach, CA of all places. Sadly now it has over 26k miles so I don't want to put a whole lot more on it.

Back in late 2018 to 2019 was beating myself up not getting a new fiesta a year or two before when they were drastically discounted. Got a camero instead and had a decent deal on that. One dealer in the south may have been trying to get rid of a new fiesta st under 15k, although who know if there were add ons.

unrelated, but is that you going down the Corkscrew in your profile pic?!

 

[ronmcdon]

ah yes at Laguna Seca

ah yes at Laguna Seca

fantastic! I had the pleasure of being at the 1991 500cc USGP there and took a borrowed bike, waited for dusk, snuck past security, threw the bike over the fence, and biked down the Corkscrew to the applause of my family members I was camping with. Thrill of a lifetime lol. And yes, until you actually see it, and I would dare say go down it, you really don't get just how steep it is!

I watched a car spin there at a IMSA race back in the day and the pack just fanned out around him and no one else went off or hit each other . One of the many amazing things I saw happen at Laguna Seca going there in High School and after to watch Races.


P.S. on the bat car the only reason it’s the number it is is the. 6k price FiST prices have absolutely plummeted in recent times. Oh and no I am not looking for another one😂
Next up for me is a Lotus Emira. My GRC does daily duties these days.

I just watched the last 2 minutes on the bids, it went for 19,255

I think you are right on FiST, prices, I thought for sure that one would break 20k!!

 

[ronmcdon]

not a bad deal for that price. admit I was tempted myself

I'm the one who snagged her! Now I gotta get her from Nevada to Alabama LOL. I was active on here a little, back when I had a 2014. Been really wanting another for a few years, but struggled to find one in the condition I'd of liked.

 

[madhatter]

congratulations!

 

[ronmcdon]

great pick there. I'd say it's a good deal consider how hard it is to find lower mileage models there are these days.

Thanks man, I'm happy with it. Everything I've looked at for the last couple years was beat to hell & back, and modded/riced hastely. I'd of paid a little more, but not much. Thought I almost had it around 17k...

Ya the FiST is entering the phase of used ones that have been modded and beat on will be the norm for the for sale cars overall. Finding clean stockers will be like finding a needle in a haystack. A lot of us modded our drove them and moved on after 5-6 years sometimes less if you were not passionate. I was proud of how I did my mods on mine and though it was driven hard and sand went through a lot I did take care of it during my 6 years of ownership .New owner was quite happy to get it and loves it still as far as I know. He is here on the forum.

I think you got a great deal. They are on Carmax Carvana etc with waaaayy more miles for about the same price. That thing is brand new! Curious, about how high were you willing to go?

I'd of probably threw the brakes on around 22-23k (have to take into consideration the auction fee and transport expense). There's just nothing this fun out there in this price range (or even in the low 30's) anymore on the new market. Now if the auction had ended in the evening and I'd of had a few beers.... 😂
