I’m getting a new car. Trading the mini in on a new Focus ST

Basically this

With all the incentives Ford is offering, I can get a new FoST for about 20 large. Six grand off. Fuck me. Yes, I went through all the financing.

I wanted one of these years ago when I bought the mini, but couldn’t afford it at the time. This amount was what I was looking at nice used ones for not but a month ago. Hence, yes right now.

Why the FoST- Because I will have two other ridiculous cars. I thought about getting a taco, what that would cost, and whether I would feel comfortable spending that much. I decided it was wasteful. With the Focus, I retain a city car, gain extra doors, and still have fun (while they still even sell cars like this). I get good gas mileage. I expect tires to be expensive as shit though.

Also, with the amount I am spending on this, I can also get a milsurp humvee at a (probably much) later date. Should be able to tow my POS trans am just fine

About 3 or 4 years ago it seemed like every opportunity bought, and then crashed or traded their FoST. Now it seems like it's making a comeback.

My deal on a taco just fell through. Maybe I should drive a FoST...

Well, Its a FoST-, another mini (dear god), or a Golf GTI (also no). I wish they still made the mazdaspeed 3 and I would get that.

If that’s “the one”, good color.

All I can say is, six grand in incentives. Although one of the ones I qualify for is recent grad discount.

It’s like an anodized blue. IMO... it’s ok. it’s not grayscale, and it isn’t an 800$ option. And it’s blue. That’s the most important.

I’m not seeing a comeback at all, most of the ones I see are on Craigslist for like $8,000 with 150k and a bunch of shitty mods.

autocorrect changed Oppo to “opportunity”. I feel like a bunch of Oppos got an ST in the past year.

It reminds me of that show color you can’t get.

Damnit, how can I live out my RS dreams vicariously through you if we’re both broke?

Just do like me: decide to lust after cheaper cars.

I like blue, so I approve.  I’m also used to every metallic color costing extra, so that doesn’t phase me.
