this guy doesn't get it...

I found this add. I flagged this post once and it came back. He's trying to advertise this as an SVT when the only things SVT about it are aftermarket,like the EAP wheels and mach headlights. Also has an SVT grille. He's not asking a lot but for someone who doesn't know any better will still feel ripped off when he finds out it's a ZX3 I'm probably going to email this guy.

lol at a "5spd" SVT

dcwte85, I like the picture in your little member information box thingy (what's that called?). I've already contacted PETA. Agents are being dispatched as I type.

"Economical 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 2dr Hatchback" is what the ad reads now. And it doesn't mention the word SVT in the ad as well.

Most likely an honest mistake. I'm sure 9 out of 10 people would see the wheels and HIDs and think the same thing.
