Should I buy it or not?

Ok, so after the meet last night I have to get a manual trans. The rules are, Prefer a 5 door, SVT preferred, Euro package Preferred, I want a sunroof. Or it has to be a ZX3 or ZX5 that is really cheap so I can mod it.

I like this one, but is it really a good deal?

I personally love the 5 doors. They also hold there value WAY better than the ZX3's and 4's because there where FAR less of them made, and they are the MOST practical focus made. It looks identical to the ZX3 anyways.

As far as I'm concerned that's a very fair price for that car.

There may be a yellow EAP SVT 2 door coming on the lot soon at Tousley.

Nice looking car that just came off lease and it looks like a girl was driving it by the few stickers in the windows.

It is 100% stone stock and unmolested, I have no idea what the price will be.

As for the car you linked to? I would wonder how well it was treated if he needed Wilwood calipers up front.

Buy an untouched car if you can.

I didnt know they came in yellow (I dont really remember ever seeing a yellow SVT anywhere)

Jason, get the yellow one (can Steve get it for you at 10% over cost by chance?)

Mars, I think the car has been lowered, and he added LaminX on the front. Also, someone has a nice ass camera, cuz the pictures look beatiful!

Nick, The EAP came in either Orange and Yellow, and some other colors you've all seen.

First and last pic are same car. But in person, the color looks more like the middle picture...

zurno · Sat Nov 18, 2006 7:25 pm

is it a different yellow than the regular ZX3?

So were the Yellow and Orange EAP only colors for the SVT? and did the EAP come in the other SVT colors?

The other SVT colors I can think of were Silver, Blue, Red, and Black

the blue I know was special, but were the other 3 regular focus colors?

Eleanor Focus · Sat Nov 18, 2006 8:43 pm

Please keep me on track guys,

5 door 5 door 5 door

theres nothing like having an svt but to have an even rarer 5 door svt euro!

1st: Yes, the yellow was a different color. More of an orangey color compared to EggYolk.

2nd: EAPs only came in Orange, Black, Yellow. And I think Silver. Maybe even Red. I'm not totally sure on the last 2 colors.

3rd: Sonic Blue was a special SVT color for the first couple years. Now Ford offers it as a regular Focus color. And the other colors of the SVT were just regular Focus colors from any model, except the Orange and Yellow.
