Minnesota Focus Owners Club

After all the drama I am sure you have seen at least one post. I am in the process of getting this car and wanted to kno what you all thought about it. Its a 2004 ZX3 with 54000 on it. Only thing is the radio is shot and the dealership couldnt figure out why. Runs pretty good. No mods on it. Let me kno what you think. I am planning on trading inthe 2003 SE for this ZX3. It needs a new paint job (back bumper is scratches like crazy), new sound system and different seats for sure. Plus tint on the windows...... Everything is manual on here though.....windows seat, locks... kinda sucks. I am use to a keyless entry pad but this one doesnt have it.

3 questions: Mileage, motor and price?

miles just under 54000. motor is i believe the 1.6L Zetec. and price is 4995. they are gonna give me 2500 for the 03. so Im still paying about half...around 2500

Looks O.K. from here.

I dont much care for the vinyl kit though.... its cracked and torn in a few places.

x2 (on motor and price)

the radio is prolly somthiung stupidd., the old owner prolly gad the aftermarket in there. GET A CARFAX! not joking. a non modded car with a decal and [maybe] aftematkey radio (frm an owner too cheap to leave it) = rice/ beat on.... potentionaly.

but, it's an auto. it's time to "upgrade" to a stick. i am ashamed to own an ayto and wish for a stiock every day (noy kidding).

1.6? lol, if this is true (whice it's not) keep the 03, at least it has a 2.0. but, as a acctual foci owner. imma say pass. sell the 03 and get a real Zetec.

I wish I knew how to drive a manual...but I dont have the money to buy a cheap ass car to learn how to drive a stick on. Already checked the carfax. carfax shows one previuos owner with no damage or accidents on file. It was sold in newjersey in march of 2004....then to an auction in New York in aug of 2008 then came to Minnesota through a second auction in april of 2009. All inspections came back clean as well.

in case you wanna check it out....
