FS FS - 2019 Low Mileage Fiesta ST

For Sale: 2019 Ford Fiesta ST
Color: Optional Orange Spice Tricoat
Mileage: 33,500 miles
Location: Northern Arizona

Low mileage, excellent example of the car. Base model (no Recaro seats). Optional Orange Spice Tricoat paint in superb condition. Moonroof. Optional 17 x 7.5 black OEM alloy wheels. 7/32 tread left (9/32 new) on Falken tires. Completely stock except for a set of aftermarket coil springs (“rally” spring setup developed by Dialcaliper of this forum using a set of 2018 stock shocks from my other FiST (<20k miles on shocks, only 8,000 on spring assemblies). This upgrade markedly improves the ride AND handling using higher rate coil springs while maintaining the stock ride height). Original stock 2019 spring/shock assemblies included (fully assembled, ready to bolt on, also <25k miles). Will install in exchange for the Rally spring set up above if you want it absolutely “pure” stock. Clean CarFax when I purchased the car, no issues since then. CarFax shows two previous owners (other than the dealer; however, the second owner bought it for his teenage son and after two weeks/600 miles, decided that was a really bad idea (Ha !) and sold it to the local Ford dealer). Everything works well, AC blows very cold, left actuator door has been recently upgraded. I wanted to keep this relatively stock for the smoothness and easy serviceability but some minor mods always made sense to me, would make the car even more enjoyable, so I started acquiring them. They can be included at extra cost ($1k for all) if desired: Whoosh transmission short shift kit, Whoosh upgraded shifter base bushings, Whoosh upgraded cable bracket bushings, a set of lightweight 17x 8 forged ROTA wheels, used Cobb 3” cold air intake, used unlocked Cobb Accessport (purchased for the numerous digital gauge monitors; has some aftermarket tunes installed including one for a stock drivetrain with 93 octane, never installed on this car). New magnetic drain plug. Why am I selling ? I bought two Fiesta ST’s within a month of reading the May, 2024 article in Road and Track, this stock one and a 2018 with a significant number of modifications. I’ve kept them both for two years, not being able to decide which one I enjoyed more. But I’m selling the house where I keep this one stored and there’s no storage space at my new house, so I have finally been forced to choose. This car is in very fine condition and being a FiST enthusiast, I’d rather see it go to a fellow enthusiast rather than to a dealer or an auction. Asking $17k.

Good luck with the sale! I'm sure someone will snag it in the Orange Spice...such a beautiful color!

Hi, SVTBob! I’m new to the forum, but very interested in this car. I’ve been looking for a stock 2019 for ages! Do you have any photos?

Thanks very much for listing the car here.

Hi, welcome to the Forum. I am presently away from home but will post the dealer pics I have. The car is in virtually identical condition. Will take fresh pics when I get home. This is a very nice FiST.

Thanks so much for the swift reply, the kind welcome, and the great photos! I’m also out and about at the moment, but I’m looking forward to the at home shots when you can get them, but please don’t feel any hurry.

Should be a couple of days. Found this at a dealer in PA after a long search. Like you, I wanted a stockish car, one of the last produced, ie, a 2019. The original plan was to modify it myself over time. About 2 weeks after I bought it, a 2018 that was modified to the level I wanted came up on the Forum with a highly detailed build thread by the original owner. I decided to buy that and sell this one. Had a buyer all lined up. But in the meantime, I came to appreciate the many virtues of a base, stock car (eg, my wife HATES the Recaro’s). Decided to keep both. But I have too many toys and I’m losing my storage space. Thanks for your interest. .

Of course! Please take your time. I have loved the ST ever since I first got to drive one in 2016. Couldn’t afford the car at the time and ended up in a much more affordable but surprisingly still really fun 2003 Vibe GT. I’ve had the Vibe (Lucy) ever since and put almost 150,000 miles on her in that time. I’ve kept her as well maintained as I could, and really babied her whenever possible. But she’s about to be 300,000 miles old and it’s starting to show in little ways. New hoses, new sensors, little leaks and cracks every few months to attend to. So she’s getting expensive in her old age. I am going to find someone on the Pontiac Vibe forums who can give her the love she deserves.
I bought a 2016 FiST from CarMax a month ago after a series of disappointing test drives of… let’s say less loved STs in the DFW area and, unfortunately, the clutch assembly ended up with a pretty bad leak from the master cylinder. CarMax said they didn’t want to pay to fix it, but they gave me a full refund. Fortunately, I still had Lucy since I’m trying to find the perfect new home for her.
Meanwhile, it was serendipity that you were looking for a new home for your ST. I have an appreciation for folks who can mod their cars. I just happen to be one of the oddballs who loves to keep his car as original as possible. If this car ends up being the right one, she’s gonna be very, very well cared for. Excited to learn more about her!
