New here... few questions.

CM208 · 28-08-2005, 02:31 PM

Hey ya'all...

thinking of buying a Fiesta Zetec for my gf. Just wonder any major concern about the car so far?

Would you mind sharing how much you got the Fiesta for?

Thanks heaps.

p/s: going for a test drive tomorrow at Strapp Ford Burwood.

Teki04 · 28-08-2005, 03:08 PM

$21500 in September 04. Its an Aquarius Zetec with the optional 16s, floor mats, tint, alarm and european plates.

Hope that helps!

As for concerns about the car.... Nothing really. Im sure she will love how easy it is to park, and drive.... how reliable it is. And, im sure you will probably love the revy engine and great chassis and handling. Ive only had a few little issues with it, but nothing major and leaving the car un-driveable. So.... really, its just a great little small car.

Good luck with the test drive! Let us know your thoughts after the first drive

CM208 · 28-08-2005, 04:38 PM

Thanks Teki04.

Another question... other than the usual mod, e.g. CAT-back, rims, air filter. Any other suggestions?

I got mine Demo for $17 Grand. Its a Colorado Red Fiesta Zetec. Manual with the optional scuff plates and floor mats.

aftermarket I bought the leather gearknob which is nice but thats $150. Great car anyways, I recommend it. Good for someone in my position but maybe i little small for a missus and she may find herself wanting a Focus which is bigger. Its all up to how much you wanna spend really.

cheers,

Pretty good deal. I just saw an Aquarius Zetec, manual... withs mats, 6000km for $19490....DAMN. And also..... in regards to being small, its not too small for a "small" hatch.... its pretty roomy in the front (esp comparing to my cousins Mini Cooper S i just drove!)

And, damn.... if shes your gf im SURE she will like the Fiesta....

Cypher · 31-08-2005, 12:26 AM

Get the Zetec...Mine has covered almost 21,000km and not one thing wrong with it (other than tyre failing due to valve failing) and it hasn't missed a beat. Best car in its class by a mile.

I agree. Although, i have some issues to bring up at the first service, all should be good, and i love it! Handles great!

Cypher · 31-08-2005, 12:42 AM

As with all cars, some a built on Friday afternoon...its all luck of the draw. But all things considered, I think you will find that most owners will say they are great car for the money they cost. Just think about what else is in its class....

Barina, Echo, Swift, Getz, Jazz, 2...and maybe one or two more...

0xyg3n · 31-08-2005, 02:11 AM

paid $20k something for mine hehehe. 04 Flare Zetec (rare colour now :P).

Its lowered 35mm on eibach springs, dark tint, sill plates, mk2 focus gear knob, currently looking for a set of 17" rims :P.

lotsy · 31-08-2005, 09:59 AM

Werent they $13990 + onroads? Well, $15990 + onroads for the auto....

Cypher · 31-08-2005, 06:50 PM

LX 3 door is $17,990 drive away at the moment...come with air and manual.

So yeah 19K is where full retail would be.

Danny · 01-09-2005, 12:19 AM

They can be costly for what they are, But drive one and you'll see where the extra dosh goes into....

DUDE! Ive seen the local dealer with $13990 with air but + on roads.... so i think thats cheaper then $17990

Cypher · 01-09-2005, 06:45 AM

The $17,990 is the promotional price Ford are doing at the moment. I am sure if you try hard enough, it can be gotten cheaper than that.

So on your pricing Teki, that would be close to $16,500 drive away.

Pieoter · 02-09-2005, 01:11 AM

I got mine for 22g. 03 Build Zetec

I got one fo the last zetec's in sydney and had to order it 2weeks before official release day. Was great to drive it around when NO one had them.

22grand... with no options or accessories?!

: The Colorado red isnt even metalic...

:

And what do you mean last zetec's.... they still sell em. I guess you mean last of the first batch that came....

Teki04 · 02-09-2005, 02:00 AM

CM208.... what were you thoughts of the test drive?!? What else are you looking at?

joshf2 · 02-09-2005, 05:46 AM

not that metallic paint adds a huge amount to the final figure

Pieoter · 02-09-2005, 04:20 PM

It was the last Zetec from the origianl batch. The price included paint protection, floor mats and an alarm system (not a ford unit). The price I was given without an options was 20g and the alarm alone cost and extra 1g.

DAMN! Thats expensive IMO.... i got Aquarius (metallic, but really its almost free), 16s, alarm, tint, floor mats.... all for $21,500....

joshf2 · 03-09-2005, 12:06 PM

ha

mine was over 22k as well, and all i got was floor mats, scuff plates, dash mat and factory premium alarm

they wanted to hit me with 495 extra for the tint, which i told them to stick, and ended up getting from the same bloke who wouldve done it for 140. and its 15% which ford cant do legally

0xyg3n · 03-09-2005, 10:56 PM

some reason I dont think CM208 is coming back.

Al... · 04-09-2005, 07:58 AM

HEY! Im guessing by the other thread about you being in Sydney (Moorebank suspension something rather).... Do you also have a rear wing? Im pretty sure i saw an aquarius Zetec on the City-West Link 2 days ago heading west-bound.... and it had Rims on it
