We all know that if you see a 3 door sierra cossie, its most likely a replica, hell even the sapphires are getting replicated on an industrial scale, however these cars are old and desirable, a good 3 door going well into £60,000+. So I naively thought that the focus RS would be safe for years to come, however oh how so naïve I was.
For the princely sum of £9,500 you could have a 1.0l Ecoboost Focus RS. It has done 76,000 miles and a full service history. A similar unmodified 1.0l ecoboost will set you back £6,500 while a real focus RS can be had from £24,000. If you want a real performance ford for this money, you can get the same age of ST.

Replicas are fine if you build em yourself, but like, to replicate a focus? With a 1.0? Just spend $20 on some badges on eBay and slap em on. You'll get the same performance out of em. At least with Shelby Cobra replicars they still have the V8
Reps of Focus RS/ST are a bit naff, and all they do is increase the likelihood of your car being nicked. And you’re probably going to pay less insurance for an unmodified RS/ST as it’s not been modified.
Honestly it’s not bad
Haha no thanks I'll pass
I’d rather go buy an ST-2 for that money
Me too
Those rims are gorgeous, and really suit the car.
