st ordered

[hazrd]

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!

Can't wait to see some of these on the road. Congrats to all in here who have purchased.

[ConST]

I am quite positive I just saw a white one on the M2 by the M7.

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?

Hard to say because ST is probably not even in their dbases.

Try the usual AAMI Bingle etc

It depends on the dealer I believe. Some have their own holding yards, some route them to their dealership right away.

I'm pretty sure that for these Fiesta STs, they're heading straight to each individual dealership. I don't think you'll see them in any holding yard, seeing that each dealer is only allocated two in the first delivery from Germany.

Essendon Ford's holding yard is right around the corner from the dealership, first roundabout turn left and keep going past Victoria Police air wing and its this big looking place with razor wire on top of it and heaps of cars inside if anyone wants to do some car spotting.

Its in Essendon Airport.

Shannon's for insurance. Over 30 rating 1 vic country $730.20 for my st Aami Allianz and comm insure don't have it in there database as of 8pm last night.
My mate in ford says all st held in Laverton Victoria holding yard and there are 104 cars expected to be sold between now and Xmas Australia wide.

[Pursya]

Did you call Shannon's?
As the ST does not appear in their online quote tool.

[ConST]

I don't see the ST in any online system yet.

I'm with NRMA.

No idea but when I was your age Just Car insurance was a good one.

Molten orange is a really nice colour in person

[ebv8]

great looking cars...not a fan of the rims and they need to get rid of the hard plastics on top of the dash as they reflect on the screen but nothing you can't live with...
moltern orange looks like it will be the next "IT" colour

[DJM83]

White is my pick but I'm biased.

But I didn't realise how flat they'd look in reality.

Haha. Professional photos always look good!

My dealer just rang me again. My car is being prepped for delivery tomorrow. I may change my mind about the black wheels, meaning I could get the car Thursday or Friday.

I'd be keen on getting the wheels from the Focus Titanium but done in black. I love those wheels. Clean simple five spoke.

Unfortunately they will not fit mate. The Focus is a 5x108 stud pattern, the Fiesta is 4x108.

Ah gotcha. Why can't everyone just use the same damn pattern haha.

[vhcbm]

It was worse with the WS and WT Fiesta...the WT switched to 4x100 so WS wheels didn't fit.

[ConST]

Maybe a set of Team Dynamics or OZ Racing Ultras is in order then!

[vhcbm]

Nothing wrong with a set of those . Then wack some sticky rubber on the stock wheels for the track!

[ConST]

Yeah I plan on doing a bit of work to this little thing. I'd be keen to go down the Mountune road, but no ETA as to when they'll bring that here, and I'm impatient haha.

I was going to stop in to see the guys at Tunehouse in Sydney. They said they'd be keen to see if they can get into the ECU. Hoping it's the same unit they use in Europe as I know companies like Revo already have tunes in development. Cobb said they won't be making anything for the ST for our market as the USA ECU is different to the one we get.

I also know Milltek makes a full TBE for the ST as well.

POWER!

Yes that was done on the phone

[ConST]

Anyone curious about insurance. The ST just showed up on the NRMA systems.

I bought my policy for $910. Comprehensive. $650 excess. Windscreen repair and hire car.

I'm 34. No claim discount for life. Have had a few accidents over the years. Both at fault and not.

That said, I have six policies with NRMA. I love their service.

I just wrapped up the purchase of my ST. The dealership was very accommodating as we recently bought a Focus Titanium from them and have sold me the ST at 28.5K on the road. No tint, but I'll get that sorted later.

If anyone in Melbourne is interested, City Ford had a Molten Orange ST in stock as of yesterday. They wouldn't (or couldn't) budge on price, however.

I'll check back in re: insurance shortly.

[mrmavx]

Car arrived at dealers this morning, will be ready for delivery on Saturday morning, will be stopping by to check it out on the way home from work
