Redbook (bad guide i know) says up to about 22k... Theres one on Carsales for 21k...

Chris's car is quite decent condition so I think it could be possible.

Also it has a BOV and Anti-Lag ;)

I got $23500 for mine back in June (private sale) - it had 44000km on the clock and about $2500 worth of mods.

Unfortunately, I think the value of the ST170 would have dropped even further in recent times because of the brilliant XR5 turbo coming onto the market at a very reasonable price.

17k trade in isn't too shabby. I'd expect about $20-23k private, I'd only get about $13-15k max for my Zetec nowadays I think.

Giv's yer the shites how they dont reconise the ST170 as the rarest production performance Ford in OZ(depending on how many XR5 get sold), think in 10~20 yrs time it will be a valued very rare collectable!

Good luck with the sale Chris!

Remember Lincoln? I realllllllllly liked his ST170, and so wish I could have found one back then!

Of the older Hot Hatches, my favourites are the 306 GTi6 and ST170 - something about them...

I'd say start in the low to mid $20K, and work from there!

I sold Lincoln his ST170, got him out of a French car and into a Ford! As he and I agreed at the time, Ford were making the cars that Peugeot should have been making at the time, with suspension/handling second to none. Peugeot should be shot for what they've done to the GTi brand.

As for wanting an ST170 over an XR5T... not so sure about that... I mean the LR chassis is stunning (and I do have ST170 suspension and wheels!!!) but over an XR5T? Not a chance.

well put it this way..from what i can afford.....id rather take out say a 10k loan for the ST170 then take out a 30k loan...(only taking part money for car) an ST170 is a great car/performance car for an average Joe....

You do know he is back in a Peugeot again? :


So Chris, is it 'offically' on sale now?

Well if i am ever offered the right price then its always for sale

As I doubt i will get what I need for it, then it will most likely stay with me until its paid off :(

I'd go the ST170 over an XR5T as its more of limited run the XR5T which now really is a production model.

I have been tempted to keep it for that 10-20 year time incase it may go up in vaule, but as i seriously doubt it, once its paid off i will just sell it and get something a bit better

After nearly 3 years i still have problems with the friggin vents that Ford cannot fix even though they have supposedly replaced them twice now.

Cheers

Chris

I doubt Australia will even get the 400/year they originally asked for. At this stage, I think 120/year is more likely the figure!

Yea, not sure of the ST170 will ever become a collectors in Australia. Things never really picked up for it. That said, I still love spotting them, which is VERY rare! The colour just looks great with the 17s.
