Hi ya'll

I right now drive a 96 Saturn SW2 auto and am having a few problems with it I was going to get another Saturn but my parents feel that they take too much time to work on.....


So they found a black 2 door

2006 FORD FOCUS ZX3 34,000 miles 5 speed manual transmission, Cd player, black interior.This is a nice car, runs drives, looks great inside and out and rides great it have a 6 months warranty.this car have a rebuilt title more info

FOR: 4900


I know to make sure on the rebuilt on insurance and all that, and to see what happened to it.....

But what other sujestions would you have?

are there anything to look out for in these Focuses?

I'm 6'1", is it possible to sleep in the car come way like my wagon?


Any thoughts would be apreached

Thanks
Nick

Well I'm 6'4'' and I have yet to try sleeping in my hatch, but I'm sure it can be done. The rear seats fold flat so it should be doable.

Just double check the rebuilt and whatnot and as long as it's structurally sound..go for it. I see no reason not to.

I've tried sleeping in my ZX5, and it was not a comfortable experience. If being able to sleep in a car is a priority for you, I would suggest looking at a different car.

A rebuilt title means different things in different states. Try to get it'history. As a car, I've had an 03 ZX3 2.3 for 6 years, now with 110k miles. Only things serviced were new radio, swaybar end links, and usual tires and front brake pads. It's been a dream, and the most fun car I've ever had (and I've had fine cars- corvair, 2 Triumphs, 66 GTO, TBird turbo coupe, 87 Dodge charger shelby, Eclipse turbos, and 5 Z cars in the family, including a turbo)
With the 2.3, goes like hell.

its IN, and yeah trying to get the history of the car and that, FOCUS= not what I want but nice little car if this history checks out

I went from an 03 Saturn Ion to my 06 ZX3. I don't know about sleeping room, but I've had people who are 6'4" in my car (I'm only 6'), and they had plenty of room. I can say that in general, the 2.0 Duratec is a great engine and the MTX 75 transmission is leaps and bounds over what I had in my Ion.

When i got mine, mine had a rebuilt title also which i was a little concerned about. It only had 40K on it and looked fine but i wanted to make sure the frame wasnt twisted and somthing hidden i couldnt see. The guy let me take it to a body shop and they put it up on a lift and it looked good so i got it.


IMO the 2005-2007 is the best ZX3. It has the newer suspension and the duratec engine. I also like how the second gen zx3 has a more round front end. I wasnt a fan of the turn signals in the grill on the 00-04

I also like the dash better on the second gen, the 00-04 is weird looking IMO.

I think 34K miles for $5k seems like a good price.

Ide have it checked out good first if you can. Rebuilt titles can be hard to resale so you better make sure you want it.

I plan to drive mine into the ground. My last car i had for 20 years i hope this focus gives me some good years like my last one.

I realy don't want it but I want a good car, and its black so good platform for customization, so yeah FOCUS seams like a pertty good car
