Re: used 4-door vs. zx3\'s
In the focus the Zetec is one of those strange options that don't lose value. At one point in time you could just order the Zetec in the SE sedan for about $200. According to online blue book, that options adds about $200 to the value of a USED focus.
Just recently I checked on the value on my car, and just the HID headlights, and Mach 500 sound system, and the 16 inch wheels (Mach edition), added almost $1000 to the value of my car. To get a "mach edition" focus in the first place was $999 MSRP over a standard ZTS sedan.
As for sedans being cheaper, well that would be true if you found allot of LX sedans. They are pretty much the most stripped focus. Equal equipped foci sedan VS. Hatch, The sedan tends to be more $$$.
