The Fiesta is about $15K so for $25K you have a very good starting point for a decent rally car (you will still need wheels, tires and a few other rally essentials)...figure $30K gets you out onto the narrow dirt roads at speed.

I was skimming comments in the article, they said something like
9,995 euro, and because I'm a not conversion master and much to lazy to convert I just said $10k. Even if I did convert it, it wouldn't reflect on the market cost anyways.

But yeah, 30k gets you a competition-ready FWD rally car. Where is the fun in FWD rally? I rally around town in my civic :P
EDIT :: wow, I missed the 1 infront of the 19,995 tag.. and thats british pounds I think. I have no idea what the conversion is but I'm pretty damn sure thats expensive. I
bolded the price I thought, vs the price StinkyPete quoted.
2nd EDIT :: And I have no idea how accurate StinkyPete's price quote is and if it includes installation. It seems official but I can't put any faith in it. For now its the only price figure I could find.
