2004 Ford Focus ST170

I love the car's subtle but sporty looks - especially the wheels. The paintwork offers a lovely shine. In my time with the car I've replaced both front wings and resprayed down both sides of the car. The bodywork is in good condition for the year of the car. It has only a couple of small dents, and the worst aspect is the presence of some bubbling on the rear arches as pictured. There are small scratches on top right hand side of the dashboard where I used to have a phone holder. This car has never once let me down: it starts first time every time. It handles well and pulls hard in the gears. I do just want to mention that the EML has come on and the fault it picks up on is the air intake manifold below threshold. It is a little tedious as it drives no differently with the light on or off. I've been told the component may just need replacing or just freeing up as it may just be getting stuck through lack of use? You'll want to investigate this. There are no cracks or chips on the windscreen or any of the windows. The car has 17 inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, which look to be in good condition. The Firestone tyres are in good condition. Seats and carpets are in great condition, with only a little bit of fading on the drivers seat. The engine and gearbox are both original. However, the last time I took it round the block, the gearshift was a little stiff! I believe this might be down to lack of use, but please be aware. The car has a factory fitted 6 cd multi-changer and steering column controls. All the speakers work and sound awesome. All round electric windows work and the air con is ice cold.

It has been MOTd every year of its life and always serviced on time

The vehicle has a stacked wallet full of receipts and paperwork for all previous work that has been carried out. With a fully stamped service book: some Ford main dealer and some independent.

I can supply a brand new car cover for the new owner if they are looking to store this vehicle.

--------------------------------------------- From Trade Classics: This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check. Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit. Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house. The last MOT advised some light corrosion on the rear axle and lower arms but not seriously weakened. I have replaced front and rear discs and pads in my ownership. The suspension is all good and totally standard. The steering wheel and gearstick are both original, with minimal signs of wear.
