Greetings all! I bought my daughter a Focus SE a few months ago, Sonic blue, and then needed to trade in my 2011 F150 XL because my wife is having problems and can't get in and out too well. And I really liked the new Focus, so the challenge was to find one I could trade the new truck in on and still keep my payments the same. A tall order, but I found one that would work in all of Jacksonville, a new S model , white with auto trans. It's 14 bucks more per month, but I'm happy with it even though I took a 6 grand loss on the truck. No sync and fancy stuff like the daughter's Focus, but we're looking good with 2 of them in the driveway![cheers]
Two 2012 Focus (s) in my driveway!

Excellent. Welcome to FF.
Excellent. Welcome to FF.
I'm glad you enjoy the Focus so much! I hope everything with your wife is okay. I feel you may also appreciate the better fuel economy that should make up for the extra 14 a month I'm sure!

Cool.....
We were a 2-Focus (and 3 Fords total) family for quite a while. On the same day in 2006, we purchased my daughter's '03 ZX-3, and from a different dealer my '03 ZTW. Daughter still has her ZX-3, but I totaled my wagon.
Good luck with your Foci......

Centerlines: go to their website, wait until the wheels you want are on clearance. Then you get USA made forged aluminum wheels for $150 ea. I was able to go from factory aluminum 15s with 195/60 tires to 215/45 on a 17 and maintain the same wheel + tire weight. I screwed it recently by putting on heavier tires, but the tires I put on originally were equal in weight.
