Hello. Been lurking for a while trying to educate myself on the Fiesta ST. I test drove one a few weeks back and absolutely loved it. It was the most fun I've had driving a car in a long time. I've previously owned a 2004 GTO, 2003 WRX Stage 3, several lifted Jeeps, and most recently a 2011 Kia Optima SX. I'd say the FiST was most comparable to the WRX and maybe even more fun than that car.
The reason why I'm posting is because in my research it seems that prices vary quite a bit between geographies and the time of year. What I'm wondering from the community here is what a reasonable price I should expect to pay for a Fiesta ST with:
I was quoted at that same dealership $23,549.64 + tax, title, fees if I ordered one (after the $1000 switch offer). I went on TrueCar and got a price of $23,078 + tax, title, $249 fee (after the $1000 switch offer and $100 PenFed Member Savings.
I'm wondering how good of a deal these prices are? I've seen on here and other forums people posting prices even less than this for the same fully loaded. I was hoping to spend about $22,000-$22,500 so these numbers aren't too far off but maybe I'm being unrealistic.
I always buy my cars used with factory warranties leftover to avoid the sudden depreciation from buying new, so I was also researching some used prices of this combo. Prices range from $22,500 with 1,500 miles to $19,900 with 15,000 miles, but nearly all are the executive/manufacturer vehicles where who knows how they were driven. Not much depreciation so far on these so it may be advantageous to purchase new.
