Nice lookin svt. You should check out the regional forum and check out a couple of the get togethers. The next on is a car show at Bickford Ford in Snohomish on Sunday the 18th.

 

Unfortunately (but fortunately really, because I am very thankful to have a good job) I have to work on Sunday but I will peruse the regional forum for future activities for sure.

 

I like it!

 

Very nice...

Do you know how rare your car is??? ... 1 of 51 ever made....

Yes...I usually try to throw that in is as a rebuttal for any negative comments, but it seems to have little effect on those unfamiliar or uncaring of the relatively brief but storied Focus linneage. Some dude at a local alignment shop even went so far as to say that the Focus, SVT or not, is simply Ford's throwaway car. Unfortunately, the 1 out of 51 statement from me, did little to convince him otherwise. Whatever.... we like em, that's all that counts.

 

I love it. and like Mr. Geriatric Moderator ^^ said, you have a VERY rare example of the SVT Focus

 

I saw a grabber orange ford ranger at the last show in issaquah. It had a letter, in the window, from Ford stating that it was one of 1500. Our whatever the number was. You could possibly write Ford and ask them how rare your car is... It would be awesome to show that off!

 

Very nice car. I'm not fond of orange but that orange on the svt looks really good and I know it's a rare one too.

 

Sweet ride!

Have you taken care of your timing assembly yet? The Ford service interval means nothing as the tensioners like to break with age as much as mileage. You have such a great car. It would be a shame to have to replace an engine.

 

Yep, actually one of the first things I did, after new tires and brakes. I originally bought the car to be a commuter, which it is...well sorta. It seems to spend the lousy days in the comfort of the nice warm garage. Seeing as we get quite a few days like that in Seattle, I imagine it will spend more time in there than I originally envisioned.

 

Ugh I'd kill to have one of those rare Compo's!

Lovely ride!

A 5 door Comp Orange would be one of my ideal stock Foci. We stayed in Bellevue for our honeymoon, and it is an awesome little city. Were those photos taken at the park right next to the mall?

Actually, the pics were taken at Bellevue Community College. The Mustang Roundup Car show is huge a yearly show that is open to all Ford Vehicles. The parking lot there is huge and multi leveled. Typically, on a nice day, the show has a very large turnout but this year was an exception due to the rain.

 

Thanks everyone for all the nice words regarding the car. Believe me, I plan on taking good care of the little Focus. As a matter of fact, I'm replacing the whole susp. with new stock components, this very day.

 

damn, these cares are so beautiful stock, just that color! dammmn

 

I envy you.....end of story. Your Compo is so clean man :thumbup:

 

Your camera has competition orange date and numbering.

 

Just thought I'd share a photo of how it looks with her new snowshoes (studless winter tires) and black rims. Sure I realize that 17 inch rims/tires are not the best, performance wise, in snowy conditions, but seeing as I would never intentionally take the car in the snow, I was more interested in early morning frost/"surprise" snow/ice/slush condition traction.

 

I would love a Comp Orange 4-door SVT. I would gladly trade my 04 PB zx5 SVT for one if I had the chance. That or even a yellow one .:evilgrin:

if your ever interested

 

ZX5 FTW!!! did you get a second set of 17" Euro rims, or paint/powder coat the stock ones?

 

Got a second set of black ones just for the winter tires.

 

Wow very rare, car looks real nice. :thumbup:

 

Awesome car, I wonder where the other 50 are

 

This car is currently for sale on Seattle Craigslist.

 

advertising your car with 4 year old pictures, and 8k? GLWS.... :/

 

Point taken on the old pics but mileage and current condition have changed very little since then as I rarely drive it. If anthing, it is actually in better condition than it was in those pics.

 

I bought my comp O zx5 a few years ago with less miles and just as good condition for 4k...

 

My ST (worth less by default) with 154K and several exterior imperfections is worth more than that. You may have gotten a great deal, but that doesn't mean it should dictate the entire marketplace.

 

You got lucky and found a guy who was careless.

 

Sold, 7250! Like I said, condition was actually better than the pics. Despite the mileage, the car was babied it's whole life and it showed. Best handling car I ever owned, take care little SVT!

 

Thanks for the new car Iseann!

Price is so hard to put on any car. Repairs, documentation, history, personal wants/needs, seller, buyer, etc. etc. I think it was well worth what was paid and has tons of receipts on all the work plus extra stuff. The interior didn't even look like anyone EVER sat in it for 106k miles. There are always hidden gems that you find out later after you get home but overall it was well worth the cash paid. EAP, rare color, 4 doors (yes, my M3 was a 2 door and I had to go family-ish if I had to put the kid/kids in the car), all new just about everything on the underbelly. I honestly don't think I had this much fun driving a car ever. The M3 is great and whoops everything on the hatch but I just didn't get the same jollys I get with this car. I will be browsing the forums a lot more and keeping in touch. Thanks again for the great car and I hope to see some people around Bellingham some day!
