    Provided the failed thermostat hasn't caused damage to the head gasket (provided the thermostat being referred to is the one which controls the flow of coolant) then it is a perfect first car. A thermostat will cost 30-40 to get installed - don't bother buying going to a main dealer. The best Fiesta engine is the 1.25 Zetec, but all Fiestas are cheap reliable beginner cars. Don't pay over the odds for the car - stick up some pics and details and get an idea of its value.
