Re: buying an \'04 euro - advice needed

i got mine for 21895 (around that) before tax and rebates, 18895 after rebate. So 19k before rebates and tax is awesome for a euro edition svt (make sure it really is a euro).

 

Re: buying an \'04 euro - advice needed

$19K is Fine if you ask me. If you are in doubt just go price a similiar equiped ZX3/ZX5 SES and see what those go for. The only advice I have is pay attention to first gear just to make sure that you can live with it. It doesn't get better with time so take off in a normal manner then boost up the RPM's to lets say about 2,500 when engaging the clutch. Also, make sure that anything that you don't like (pinstriping, dealer decal) is adressed prior to signing.

Pretty sweet deal. Make sure they give you the good financing as well.

I had to get my '03 reflashed, but my understanding is you're probably okay with an '04.

04 has different tune than our YRFO, he should be fine

The '04s have startup issues- must not be as bad as the others since I'm living with it.

I paid $17k for my non-euro SVTF 5 door... so $19k euro sounds right.

 

Re: buying an \'04 euro - advice needed

Well the 04's can have some minor issues too, nothing to sweat. I think that the SVTF is probably the worst possible car that I have had as far as "start it up and drive it, put some gas in it" goes. It's finicky and to a moderate level high maintenance. You have to be able to literally love a car to keep it going smooth. I don't trash mine out on the road but I drive with enthusiasm and understand that there will be associated cost that I incur because of it. I love my Euro! Sexiest Foci ever released here in the states.

Thanks for all the help. Hopefully everything will fall into place this weekend.
