clean ride, congrats on the purchase!

While it only has 5200 miles on it, the car IS 10 yrs old (in July) so I look at the timing belt...quickly. Interference

This. Congrats on the new ride! Looks clean... and new. haha [woot]

^^^Last owner never drove it so he invested in the battery

Why buy a car like that and then never drive it?? You hear the stories time and again about someone who bought an unusual car and then just parked it in the garage and never used it. I don't get it. But when they finally decide to sell it, someone benefits. In this case, you! Enjoy your "new" SVT Focus.

wow man what a find. so clean

Focus112 · May 17, 2012

If I could find a JR S/C that doesnt look beat i would do that. I know its not the best route but for a daily driver its cheap and reliable boost. The long term plan is to DD this and get a new or barely used 5.0 to drive in the summer/ on nice days.

In the mean time im thinking intake/exhaust. But the first project is def going to be a Double Din nav.

Get a clear bra for the front of it.

SvviftSVT · May 17, 2012

too rich for one with 5200miles... with the new car smell still??? its barely been broken in...

katiekay · May 17, 2012

Nice find!!! WTF was the previous owner doing with it?

Focus112 · May 17, 2012

^^^Not driving it thats for sure, he treated it like a Ferarri. Im going to look into a clear bra, i know the rock chips are inevitable

It's still 10 years old. [poke]

Focus112 · May 18, 2012

How many cars can you buy for $12k with 5,000 miles. Thats how i justified it.

lyonsroar · May 18, 2012

You don't have to justify it to me. I didn't buy it.

If you got the cash and you want it then go for it.

It's a cool car, good luck. Just check all the rubber parts for any age related wear, such as brake lines, cooling system, vacuum lines, gas lines, etc.

I once bought a low mile Crown Vic, that was 15 years old, and a brake line snapped.

Bought a NEW SVTF!!!
