That's damn good in my opinion. But what were you trading in for?
A shelby

But point being. 2nd hand market even with delisted cars is very strong if the car is looked after. They also mentioned that parts wont be an issue for many years even if a car is delisted

Well not really

Bought a focus st 6 yrs ago, new. Then when i traded it in recently i got almost what i paid back then.

Bought new for 329k, traded for 280k
Let's be honest though, the used car market is in shambles at the moment.

Only if it was reliable. But only made to last 30 000km.
And costly maintenance when something goes wrong.

I believe the Focus and Fiesta have WF0 (German) VIN numbers.

The Fiesta (even in the 1.0ecoBoost guise) was probably the best driving small hatchback - and so attainable for the price.

Fun little go-kart!
The fact that the current gen Titanium comes with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 rubber says a lot. The previous gen Fiesta ST200 is one of the best cars I’ve ever driven.

It’s a great car. A shame it’s being dropped for our market.

Having owned a 2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost Powershift for almost 5 years the car was not bad for the price, the engine was very peppy but that damn Volvo Powershift gearbox was the biggest let down ever for that poor car I had.

out with the old, in with the new, wonder what they will bring to replace it?
or will it just be another SUV, as if we didnt have enough of those.

It will be an suv, they are done with sedans and hatchbacks.

Interesting that the Golf is also discontinued.... So it's going to be the Focus vs the Polo?
