Talking of prices, I've noticed that mine has gone up over the last few months. WBAC are offering £19600. Motorway.co.uk over the £20000. These prices don't include any extras either.

Yes I agree, to my surprise my ST (performance pack/green) increased in value and back up to around £19k now. (Not WBAC). A very early build ST with 20k miles on the clock, so not bad at all I think.
I think this is down to the fact that 1.5Ltr Dragon ST's are now becoming sort after as no longer available new.
Sadly I am now thinking with no new true alternative Ford, I am looking at buying a Yaris GR.

I get it that the GR Yaris is a great car, but far too small for us.

Both your ST valuations look really good against mine, with WBAC quoting £21,255 for my 9 month old ST with less than 1500 miles.
The GR Yaris is a cracking little car with the 2024 new model apparently being priced not far away from a facelifted Puma ST, but the 2 cars are so far apart in what they are that I doubt they would both feature on many potential owners shortlists.
Due to my personal circumstances I could easily live with a new GR Yaris, but I would prefer the new 8 speed auto option. Having said that I wouldnt actually consider buying one.
Speaking of the GR Yaris there is a house next to my dad which amazingly has 2 of them in the driveway. Must be his and hers. :lol:

Yeah it's definitely enough. Most of my cars have been performance variations, but over the last few years (even longer) I barely drove them like that. Something with a bit of poke is enough I reckon.

I've been wearing that particular t shirt for the last decade, and it still fits me very well. :lol:

Turns out I was looking at the wrong information and was way out with the price.
The new 2024 GR Yaris starts at £44,250 rising to £60k for the special editions.
This makes it even less likely that a potential owner of a new one would also be considering a Puma ST.

I have a 155 Vignale which I'd be open to parting with...

6 months old and 3000 miles on the clock - I'm just not really using it.

Well went ahead and got one. A 21 play ST Line X in Magnetic.

Now just looking at gap insurance (see the ad on here) and extended warranties (it still has 4 months of it's original warranty).

Cheers for the previous advice folks.
