I find myself driving the long way too work, as I'm only 3 miles away if I go my normal way.

There's a five month old CTR GT in silver for sale on ebay. It's only done 899 miles. It's got a few extras and the five year service plan. The reserve is £17500 and it's not up to that yet. End's very soon though.

This does seem like a good buy if the price does not exceed the reserve by too much.
But it does make you wonder why someone is selling the car after 5 months?

It's ended now, and the reserve wasn't met. It got to £17050, I'd be interested to know if he lets it go for that and save readvertising costs.

It's back on again and the reserve has been lowered to £17200.

Hi Guys

Am surprised at all those long waiting times. If id ordered mine in November I could have had one for first week in December. A number of dealers had availability, even had availability for December last week if wanted NHB...

Now just got to wait for mine after crimbo

...cos i ddint want NHB...but its only a couple of weeks..............

SHADEMASTER · 24th January 2008, 21:53

Just wondering has anyone ordered a Type R in 2008?
What delivery times are you being quoted?

I will bet it is not 16 weeks plus like a few of us had to wait

chelle · 24th January 2008, 21:59

Mine actually arrived early.....and got it before christams

I wish i could have got mine in two weeks, that would have gave me an extra 14 weeks with my R

jamief · 29th January 2008, 15:47

Just had phonecall from dealer - car will be delivered next tuesday, making that 14 days from order to delivery - quite impressed!

Now thats a turn around time, but still not as quick as Ford's 4 day delivery on a ST from scratch (which is very scary)

StuMcBill · 31st January 2008, 12:40

My wait was around 7 weeks!

I could have had it in 3 if I wanted it in Bronze instead of Black!

ADT · 31st January 2008, 14:28

Ordered Type R GT Milano Red 2nd weekend in Jan, and could have picked it up next week, which would be a 3 week wait. However, I chose to leave it to March 01 to get it on an 08 plate, which also gives me a bit more time to get a decent price for the current motor, as part-ex valuation was not great.

charlas · 3rd February 2008, 01:40

Ordered on the Thursday, and drove away 12 next wednesday... as for a Focus ST, you can't have one until end March begining April, and that was quoted from 4 dealers.

It's due to the facelift though, that suprise of all suprises, is being facelifted at the end of the year!

jont122 · 3rd February 2008, 21:51
