SJAC Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi, I'm currently waiting for my new Ford Focus ST line, the dealer says that it is currently being built and is at the segmentation stage. The dealer still thinks it will take 34 days after the car has been gate released and has left the factory until I will be able to get the car. This seems like quite a long time - does anyone have any experience of how long it takes between leaving the factory & getting the car - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biff55 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 patience , patience !! if you wanted a car quickly you shoulda bought something off the forecourt. sheesh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Usually takes about a month from being built to arrive. Segmentation means your car has been allocated all its parts from stock, but hasn't been built yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJAC Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thanks - the car was ordered back in February, happy to wait but pleased that its now moved on a stage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsparko Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 thats crazy, I specced mine from the brochure and the dealer was able to log into the ordering system and see what cars were due for delivery. In their system he showed me that of each factory spec, a number would be delivered to the country and we could reserve one of those. I would assume if we can do that here (ireland) it would be the same everywhere else. ordered mine last week and will have it the first week in July.

Usually that's only cars they have already ordered themselves for stock. If you then make a big change to the spec, it sends it to the back of the queue like a new order anyway.

JAKE191 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 We ordered our Focus ST Line 1.5 150bhp in Tiger eye in May 3rd and it was built 3rd July and its being delivered to the dealers 8th August. We was told there was a shortage of the 1.5 petrol engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin01 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 What are the main differences between ST Line and just ST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 6 minutes ago, Gavin01 said: What are the main differences between ST Line and just ST? ST-Line: Sport suspension (10mm lower, slightly stiffer than standard) 1.0 125PS, 1.5 150/180 PS, 1.5 TDCi 120PS Engines. Quickest 0-62 is 8.6s Standard "sport" seats (they are the same as Zetec and Titanium) Dress up kit (standard bumpers underneath). ST: ST sport/performance suspension (don't know about height but firmer than ST-Line). 2.0 250PS or 2.0 TDCi 185PS Quickest 0-62 is 6.5s Recaro seats ST bodykit (different front and rear bumper). There are more, but these are just the things off the top of my head. The ST-Line is just a rename of the old Zetec S, but with a black headliner and some badges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 The other difference is that the "real" ST will eat through it's front tyres in around 10k, lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can always buy a used 66 plate STLine 2.0 tdci, same engine but de tuned to 150bhp, then superchip remap it to 214bhp & 470 NM torque. That's what I've done . They don't sell the ST Line 2.0 diesel now , probably because people were re tuning them lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
