Good buy?
 
So now that I'm looking for another car after my 2016 Focus ST was totaled. At first I wanted to import a Mk2 ST or RS RHD over from Europe but the stupid 25 year law kills that idea till 2033 lol. So the next best thing is the C30 Nd I'm really impressed on how rare these are in a 6-Speed fully loaded. But now I'm almost ready to buy Nd I'm just trying to see if these are good deals.
this is the 2013 Polestar #57 of 250:

This is a 2012 R-Design:

The main attraction for me with this car is the Inline 5 Nd how amazing it sounds with Exhaust PLUS I have yet to see one around my area. Of course the car will be modded. So the Polestar Edition really doesn't matter. But the Rebel Blue is fire. Also what are somethings to watch out for buying a used C30? Thanks everyone

Key things for buying a used car is the maintenance history and doing a proper inspection. Ask the dealer to provide a car fax report, ask if the car has a full maintenance history and if you are going to make an offer, consider investing $100 or so in a professional inspection. As with the maintenance history the big ticket item is the timing belt which is due at 10 years or 120K miles for the I5s (except for a specific engine model) and then its inspection time.

Phew 10 years or 200k is way too long ours is on 120k and 16years old and has been changed at 80k after 8 years and was showing small cracks
