Most people are paying $19,995. A couple people have paid $18,995.

 

[ZXmurph]

Yep, just rode the other day in a co-worker's SRT he got for exactly sticker.........

don't blame a dealer for trying.........

 

[RiTzBiTz]

I was quoted $25,000 Canadian...

Yeah a dealer by me got there first one in.They were asking sticker but they had sold it only 4 hours after they pulled it off the trailer!! They have 2 more coming in about 2 weeks, gonna see what they will give me for a trade in.

I want one...but I figure I can keep the Focus looks and have the SRT-4 performance with the additional help of a Turbo Tom Kit. That is after I find a job, work there for a few years, catch up with everything, and make sure I keep the job longer then 2 weeks without being laid off. I figure it should take about 5 years before the ol Focus is turbocharged.

 

[OC_SVT]

New 02 SVT Focus = 13,000 (Yes this can be done)
Turbo Tom's Kit = 5,800
Shipping from CA = 1,200 (Round Trip)
Total Price = $20,000

That is the same as The SRT-4, but you would have more power, better handling, and luxuries like Leather/power windows (not availible in the SRT)

 

[blownsvt]

Dont forget about giving up the big W...if that matters to any one.

 

[InsertCleverNameHere]

Dealers actually post the words "Dealer mark up" on cars' stickers?!?

I always assumed that they found a more clever, weasle-like way of jacking up the price on hot new cars...

...not blatant like that srt.

That sticker might as well say: "IDB NO LUBE MARK-UP=$4500" That's 25% of the car's price...jeez!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Yeah or sometimes they will use Market Value Adjustment.

A friend of mine here in Detroit REALLLLLY wants one, but they haven't even come to Michigan yet! What's up with that? And he's pretty much resigned himself to waiting a few more months for the markups to disappear.

Oh, and these cost to get a turbocharged Focus? Don't forget to add another $3000 for a built engine, and Toms chip still won't run as well as the Dodge factory tune.

 

[tsunami racer]

if dealers have to be greedy, i'd rather they came straight out like that and said "more dough" and not do anything to the car. i hate it when they charge 2000 for pin stripes, 1500 for door edge guards, 1500 for mud flaps and another 1700 for undercarriage rustproofing. a dealer was doing that on new Evolutions. i was surprised he didn't try the "landau" cloth roofs ala cadillac dealers...

God neons make me sick, they are death traps.

 

[jilla82]

neons are like fat chicks that give good head.

Ugly, but perform really well

Sadly there's always dumb ****s like you on FJ hating on the SRT-4 or Neons.

I hate the Focus - it's a ****ing "death trap" too! It makes me sick, but I do have a legitimate reason for it.

After all the **** (problems, recalls, bad quality, no reliability whatsoever) I went through with the Focus, I won't get another Ford...EVAR!!!!

But unlike you, I will give the Focus a chance. Recently I have not encountered a problem with the car and I hope I won't encounter any more problems with it. If this (no problems with the Focus) becomes more common for my car, then I won't mind keeping the piece of ****.

I do have a good reason to dislike Foci, but I do like them too. Especially if they are done right, because they can be ****ing badass.
