Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying a new Fiesta ST to drive for 2-3 years, and then sell to my son when he's of driving age.

I think I'm stuck on an orange one at the moment. There is a local car with MSRP of $26,400 and I've talked them down to $22,700. Is this a reasonably good deal? I can't seem to find any orange cars with a sunroof, even sued, for less than 18k for a 2 year old model.

In my mind it's worth 4k for an extra 2 years of warranty and the ST Octane academy.

Car has:
Orange Paint
Black Wheels
Nav
Recaros

I'm not so keen on NAV/Blackwheels but the discount seems to negate most of that cost.
Thoughts?

Should I wait an order a 17 without those options?

Sounds like a pretty good deal.

I decided to order mine about a week after the order book opened for the 2014 models. Just wanted mine as unmolested as possible. The only person to drive it was the salesman who took it to fill up with gas.

Mine is Green Envy, with Recaros (a must!) and sunroof. I think I paid about the same (been three years now, hard to remember). If I need nav, I just get the TomTom out.

I have not yet reached 18K miles yet, as I bicycle to work most days. But zero problems so far. Been back to the dealer for oil changes only.

For me the moonroof would go unused and eventually leak, so I opted to not go with one. I like the nav. It's not the best, but it's in dash so you don't have to have an external gps or use your phone and I leave it on the home screen most of the time so I can always glance at the map if I need to see when a road is coming up or something even if it's not navigating me.

Glad you picked it up. The orange is an awesome color but the problem with it is when it's not in direct sunlight people think it's red. I ordered mine with the orange paint, grey wheels, nav, and recaros.

Yes, it definitely looks red when it's tucked away. I've noticed the paint has a gold pearl type effect in sunlight as well.

They discounted sunroof and nav for me, so I got a great deal and snatched the car lol. Sunroof is not really a bid deal for me, I don't use it, its presence doesn't bug me. If the deal is good, who cares. I would too prefer my car to just have Recaros and Nav, but hey good deal is a good deal. Good luck!
