Price Civic VFM

Kremmen · 25th July 2007, 07:36

Just for a giggle, and having nothing better to do whilst Pottsy had this site off the air for a while this morning I went onto the Ford site and 'configured' a Focus to my EX spec.

Used the Titanium as the base model to reduce the number of options required.............

£23K !!!!!!!!!!

And... you still end up with a Ford

Skippy · 25th July 2007, 07:53

I did a similar exercise with a Fiesta ST and got to nearly £16K for equivalence to the ES.

Anyone done this for a Golf or A3? I think that might be amusing

Did it with a Merc A class to get it up to "Civic Executive" level regarding performance and options.

That came to about 24k on-line.
With a 10% discount that would give under 22k.

A bit slower, less mpg, a few extra goodies that I don´t get on the Civic and more comfortable. But as the Civic was 17k....

I think those would end up being 'scary'.

of course, you would get a bigger discount on the Focus

£23k for the Golf, but that was a year ago...
