the overall paint is in good shape, just the WB viynl is flaking off (dnt care, if purchased planning on getting new paint). The things got magnaflow exhaust, slotted and drilled brakes, CAI, lowered, 17" rims, headers, nice system, nos (I knw gotta look out for the engine with that) nice looking body kit ( though there are two small pressure cracks on left and right side of back fender, the wing is a primed black, and a lil of the body kit mesh is bowed) it only has 31,000 miles if you click the link, I drove the car shifts very smooth (expected for only 31,000 miles+ bein a ford!)
tho since it's been sitting on the lot for a while the battery had to be jump started cuz no juice, yet the only problem I noticed when driving is when idling the idle is sporatic (bubbles a bit) I asked the guy and he says that's only cuz it's been sitting for a while (bad gas? needs an oil change?) is he right or could it be something else? it makes sense the idle is a lil jumpy due to sitting but still a bit hesitant.
To be frank, I love focuses and I love fords. I've been wantin to dwnsize from a four door to a hatch or coupe for a lil while...my car is pretty much mint(besides inevitable swirls) and looks sexy, nuttin wrong wit it..just want somethin smaller with more done to it so all I need to fork out is a supercharger or turbo.
Of course before I buy I will insist on taking it to my dealership (who has been servicing my family for years so they all knw me and my last name) to do a full engine check and inspection to see if there are any surpsrises. But I've looked at hondas, hyundais, mazdas, nissans and everything else but my heart is set on the focus. I would really love to hear everyone's input..I see potential in this car..just hopin a lil body work is all it needs.. please give me input on what you think..oh and my car has 65,500 miles on it.
