Urgh the Titanium/Titanium X only have red as the base colour, all others are extra. I’d take the standard colour from the Style if I could, the black. Anyone know if I can spec this? Ford website says I can’t. 

Also found all Fiestas increased by  £500 last Friday :(

Shadow Black is the only black and it's optional on just about every trim level.

Style has race red or blazer blue as no cost options, both solid paints.

Hello all,

Ordered my ST Line X 1.0 140 3dr in Deep Impact Blue early January, car built 8th March, gate released 9th, now in Flushing. Any ideas to how long it’ll take to ship it over and have it at the dealer? 

 

Thanks!

Yeah sorry, Blazer Blue. Which I could have that on the Titanium X!

Apparently, it would be six months to build my Titanium X :o

Also, DTD has quoted £18353. Price is coming down slowly but it needs to go down far more for me to consider pulling the trigger.

Have you tried Broker4Cars? Not actually used them to seal the deal on my current ST Line X order but was in discussions. They seemed pretty competent and have been around the block for a while so seem quite trustworthy. And, their prices are also crazily competitive.

Have to admit, when the dealer rang me in February to say they had a build date, I was very surprised especially that I was told it'd be around May (at the earliest) and more realistically mid-end June before I got the car. Good experience with the dealer as they've kept me up to date with everything and certainly won't be complaining about the reduced wait time :wink:

Yeah put an enquiry through to them today, waiting for a reply. They're the closest to the £17K mark going by their prices, at around ~£17304.14. I think £17K in total I'd probably take for the spec. That's just under 20% discount.

It's so frustrating the Deep Blue colour seems to have been discontinued.

I think I put 2-3 enquiries with them, usually heard back within 24-48 hours. Sometimes, the quoted price on the website was actually beaten when they confirm your enquiry, not by much but shaved off around 2-300 quid so fingers crossed for you :smile:

 

I can imagine, it was my colour of choice too from the moment I saw it in real (the configurator makes each colour look crap), my backup would have probably been the Magnetic Grey or whatever it is called.

@DG97

Clearly a money-maker for Ford, the only non-chargeable colour on the Titaniums is Red. On the Zetec you can get Blazer Blue (would be perfect) but alas not on the Titaniums! So it's £250 for white (shows all the dirt), then £495+ for other colours. What a con!

Fingers crossed for Mid-April, not too far away that! Although for mid-April, I'd have expected to have at least had a rough idea of a build date. 

 

I did, I'm quite a fan of technology so went for the following: B&O Play Sound, Driver Assistance Pack (Adaptive Cruise, Pedestrian Detection etc), BLIS with CTA, Door Edge Protectors, Rear View Cam with Sensors and the comfort pack with the heated seats and steering wheel. Thought these extras make the car into the "complete" car that ticks all my boxes!

I agree, personally I think the colours should be either "free" (they'd probably increase the price of the car and claim the colour was free) or significantly cheaper, basically half a grand for a colour choice is pretty ridiculous in my opinion ( or like 700 quid if you go for the "Exclusive" colours which is just daylight robbery).

Nice! I think the red interior will work very nicely with your colours for the exterior, wish they offered more than just the red though! Would have liked a blue or something for the dash inserts just to liven the interior up. Don't think the red interior would work that well with the blue exterior. 

Yeah hopefully, if you don't, just give your dealer a ring. Me too haha, when I was told the car was gate released on the 9th and is now in Flushing, I was basically jumping with joy that the car now physically exists, although the dealer told me the ETA to them is the w/e 31st of March, to say today is the 12th, 2 and a half weeks to get the car to the dealer which seems a tad long hence why my original question in here! Even if it's the 31st (which it won't be for collection due to Easter), I'll still take it, was dying at the thought of waiting till June.

Maybe they'll make that an option for future buyers in a few months time...

Haha, glad I'm not the only one, kind of ran out of YouTube reviews and the clips when Ford flew people out to Spain for a spin in the ST-Lines.

Lol think Broker4cars are gonna smash the competition, don't think Ford dealers are going to give £4K off somehow :P

Yeah I think so too, no chance haha, although end of March is approaching so maybe if you find a dealer desperate for a sale, you never know!
