Hezz Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I got my st170 5 years ago and I didn't think it'd last tbh but its a great car but a bit quiet about it if you know what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 wow didnt expect replys to be that quick the bmw's im looking at are the e46 has to be a m sport as i prefer the look but for a decent one they start to get a bit pricey and the focus is £1995 with 70000 on the clock but then again you get what you pay for I've had an ST170 for he last 7yrs. 30MPG is normal. £2k is a good price if it's had the clutch and flywheel replaced recently. If it hasn't had that...then walk away, infact run. Clutch and flywheel replaced will be about £1k, more if you go to a main dealer. 2004 is now 10yrs old so the cambelt should have been done/need doing. And the IMRC boxes like to die after 6yrs or so....£350. Other than that it's like any other 10yr old car, you'll be buying someones elses problems that they didnt want to fix. On a good note, mine is 11yrs old and the last MOT had the following AdvisoriesFront Tyres worn on inside edge (causes by worn out trackrod end on passenger side, replaced before MOT)Stonechip to drivers side windscreenStonechip to passengers side windscreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
