The long version

Nobody has ever tried to speculate on a Fiesta ST; there is no six-figure auction fantasy to chase, so the entire ownership population is just people who wanted a cheap car that is fun on the way to work, and the value chart confirms it, a steady slide toward four figures that never once interrupts itself with a flipper spike. That collapse is exactly what makes the Bargain Window real for the next buyer, who inherits a genuinely sorted chassis for beer money and puts the same kind of miles on it the first owner did. Four badges on one car is a lot, but this is what zero pretension looks like on paper.
