Snagged a 2003 SVT ZX5 131k blown head gasket, talked her down from 3k to 1k. Ready to order parts and put it back together hoping to have it on the road this upcoming weekend!!!!!
2002 SVTF/Sonic Blue/Cold Weather Package/Black EAP wheels
Purchased from a used car lot with 91K miles and a brand new OEM clutch (with the receipt from Bloomington Ford)
After showing him the private party KBB value of the car I printed & brought with me to help in negotiating the window sticker of $7,999 they had it marked at. I pulled out $6,000 cash in $100 bills and told him "take it or leave it" because I have 3 more lined up to look at and I know these cars. He had to go consult with his Manager, came back & said let's get the paperwork done.
Just goes to show when buying a car or for that matter anything else "cash in hand talks" and gets you a much better deal.
2004 svt focus
75k miles

amp
alpine radio
Euro package and cold weather package

2003 SVT EAP
Infra-Red/Red Interior
stock with every option except the cold weather package/recaro seats
59k miles
Some dings and scratches here and there (and front plate holder [!]) but no serious damage. Frame and engine compartment totally clean, nice interior.
List price was 8,988
Got it for just under 7,500
I know I probably overpaid a bit but I was worried I'd regret passing it up. It's a little harder than I expected to find unmolested SVTs with that kind of mileage.
2003 SVT
CD silver with blue interior
stock everything but sound system
no fancy traction options.
45k miles, bought 6 months ago
clean title, just a little ding in the hood, busted original suspension, the original owner cut the front suspension springs, the electrical system was a mess as the guy had after market sound system with amps and stuff... clutch was slipping like mad, was resurfaced with bronze pucks on the same oem disk, passenger mount was blown.
other than that it was ok.
paid 5k for it, so far Ive spent 2k on parts so I guess its an ok price?
I got a 03 comp orange svt. got it with 108k, new clutch around 90k. it will need timing belt kit, a new tire and a alignment, and new dog bone bushings. 1 interior light doesnt work, fog lights dont work, drivers heated seat doesnt work, a previous owner tried shortening the shifter and it comes off if you dont push down when shifting. got it for 4k and he paid tags place.

2003
SVT infrared

CWP
80k miles, clean title/carfax 2 owners local car
Paid $5900
Had CFM TBi, AEM CAI, magnaflow cat-back, ford racing (EAP, but caps ford racing) black wheels, euro grille, MSD coil/wires (which just died recently and replaced with oem)hawk pads and slotted rotors.
No real maintenance issues other than timing belt and clutch needing replaced here soon. Already bought south bend stg 1+ alum flywheel to do that. Also installed koni's and camber/caster FSwerks plates.
I'm very happy with the car, I had a 00 zx3 infrared as my first car in HS and lusted so badly for an SVT, even test drove a new one at the local dealership. Real nice to finally own one, for cheap-ish without a nasty car payment haha.
I bought mine for $5500 back in October of 2011 from a private seller. It had 88,000 miles on it then. I probably could have talked him down a little more but I missed some things when inspecting the car that I had to find out later the hard way. Oh well, after a bit of maintenance it's in good shape now. Still really pleased with the car and I'm about 100 miles from 100k!
I paid 11500...I have spent 19k for new suspension, brakes, rotors, wheels, exhuast, quaife, roll cage, sound system and radar detectors and diffusers, 5 point harnesses...I spent another 14k with TOM for a new complete motor top to bottom with a 20 psi turbonetics setup, new stage 4 clutch and alot of tuning...currently puts 355 hp to the wheels...so in total
Bought mine for 7600
Asking price 11,250

02 Sonic Blue Svtf:

with 30520 miles on the clock
Only option is sunroof
Currently 74,xxx miles with daily spirited driving.
04 fsvt red with checkered flag 53k one owner car, well taken car of(knew old owner)
Bought off dealer in fall of '09 for 6.5k cash asking 8.5k
Now over 140k I still wouldn't trade this beast off, best I have ever bought!!!
I paid $4600 for mine last year. 2003 ZX5 in red, HIDs and audiophile (aftermarket stereo/amp). 171k on the clock when I bought it, but very well maintained. I was weighing it beside a yellow with EAP, but the mods did it for me: Borla exhaust, Steeda STS and knob, Eibach springs, AEM intake, Focus Central UDP set, 65mm throttle body (FC or Steeda, haven't confirmed), new pads and rotors (drilled/slotted), poly driver mount, poly dogbone mount (bushings upgrade). It wasn't a deciding factor at the time, but having kids, the ZX5 is perfect for me.
2002 Sonic Blue SVT with the sunroof and Audiophile
Bought new in October 2002
I am the original owner and it only has 20,400 miles now
I paid $29,000 for it in Canada
I got mine for $7,500 in Louisville. Dude wanted 8, but thankfully talked him down after finding out it had some troubles. He didn't understand up-keep, it seems. Needed a new set of tires, wheel alignment, throttle sensor, and an oil change.
There wasn't much done to performance, like, AT ALL, but it did have a lot of nice aesthetics. Your typical ricer.
Full Cervini auto body kit, CO2 purge kit, blue underglow kit with bass-matching option, momo shifter and 17" rims, PS2 for front and backseat screens, full Alpine system with touchscreen reciever and two 10" subs, AEM cold air intake, 25% window tint,
Nice and low miles...not so sure about some of the previous owner's chosen upgrades...
