FLIPPING A BROKEN FORD FOCUS ST FOR A BIG PROFIT

I bought a lovely low mileage mk2 ford focus st with some issues to attempt to flip to make a profit!
The new owner loves the car. What a result!

    Just found your channel. This was very informative as ive got a mk2 ST which ive owned for almost 12 years now. Ive been toying with the idea of selling but didnt realise they were worth as much as that. I thought it was worth a lot less which is why ive hung on to it.

    Thank you mate, that’s a long time it must have done you well then! I’m sure the prices can only go one way as they’re on the up if you were to hold onto it at least from what I’ve seen😎

    The instrument cluster is probably at fault. That throws up all sorts of codes when it goes wrong.

    Thanks mate it ended up being the wheel bearing for speed sensor! Heard the clusters go wrong a lot this was also what I thought it could have been if not that 😊

    Perfect time to stop spending on it, the new owner will no doubt make it his with mods and refurbing the wheels and keeping an eye oit for a colour match washer cover and wet vac the seats. I think you have made the max profit v spend on that focus, onwards and upwards👍
