Well finally managed to win over the "minister for war and finance" and yesterday ordered the new fiesta st from local dealer, trading in my early 2012 focus titanium petrol for it. Now i just have to decide on the colour, molten orange or performance blue(want to see the orange in the flesh) and then wait impaiently

maybe off topic but did they rape you on a trade in on the focus?
i enquired about a used car using my dec 2012 fiesta as trade in, paid $16000 for the fiesta and they offered $8k for it with no money off the other car saying they can only get $10k for it on the lot

My Mrs got a 10K trade in on her 2010 WS Fiesta Zetec (5 door auto 1.4). She was offered that by two separate dealerships sight unseen. The Fiesta was bought new in 2010 for 22.5K

$25,990 plus ORC, or getting close to $30k all up in other words.

I have an invite to Ford's 2 day Fiesta drive program this Thursday and Friday. I will be posting a review, looking forward to driving all the new Fiesta models, the ST power to weight ratio should be a real pocket rocket.

next update
Dealer has provided me the sido number and the vin number and the car is sitting in a holding yard until ford decide to release them which is expected to be sometime during the last week of august for official on sale date of sept 2. I have also recieved personalised number plates from vicroads which i only ordered on last sunday evening so now all i can do is to sit and wait until it arrives. mrmavx |

hello all latest news from my dealer is that Toll has advised my dealer delivery will be next wednesday or thursday, so depending on how things go with pre deliv and tint might get it on monday the 2nd with a very slim chance of a sat deliv if it gets there early.
also ConSt where are you located as there was at least a $1000 discount at all 3 dealers i visited(northern/northwestern side of melbourne) and my final price was $29,000 including tint and metallic paint including all onroads mrmavx Last edited by mrmavx; 23-08-2013 at 10:43 PM. |

Hmm....love the molten orange
Not an ST, but I snuck out the back of our local dealer this arvo, after seeing a new silver base model out the front, to see if there was an ST in the house. No luck. But love the molten. |

That car in the pic isn't Molten Orange. It's far too....red haha.
Yes the MO colour is exclusive to the ST only. It has a metallic tinge to it. This link shows some close ups of what it looks like. And anyone in Sydney who wants to see if it the flesh, MO is the colour of the second ST brought in by my dealer. Performance Ford in Castle Hill. http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/1188...st-st-hands-on |

I was under the impression that Molten Orange was an ST only colour, just like Tangerine Scream on the Focus?

Ah well, I just assumed that all orange ones were the same.
But doesn't change my opinion. Love it. Not so the ST color in the above link. Pity. |

The normal Fiesta models do come in an orange as well. I think it's called Valencia?

No its called Chilli orange, like the current WT Chilli orange, Molten is brand new. Dealers will see these very soon. We have a white and molten due this week.
Also have a few WZ's on the yard now too

I would get molten orange, just so I get to say the word "molten."
You could then call the car 'Mofezst.' |

Ordered one! Molten Orange. Should be ready to pick up on thursday or friday. But will probably head down on Sat morning!
Will need to get insurance sorted out in the next few days. Anyone have an idea of what I'm gonna be up for as a 25 year old male, no history? |

I wanna have a look at one of these. I cant seem to find one hiding out the back of any of my local dealers. Considered one but ended up with the Focus instead.
Ryu, Insurance will entirely depend on your location and driving history. At a guess (and this is a long shot!), If you were rating one, in an outer metro suburb (depending on crime rate and how busy the suburb is), insuring for about $30k, I would take a guess at anywhere around $700-$1200 I'm only basing it roughly off when I was 25 though. Your circumstances could be completely different Are they on any insurance websites yet? You may need to call, or see if the dealership can do a quote for you? Good luck, and enjoy!
