I am trying to locate an 04' Black SVTF w/ the EAP package. And can't seem to locate any, I havn't called around just tried searching on fords site under the dealer locator. Is their any site that can be used to locate one? I am trying to locate one in the Washington/Oregon area. I am not quite ready to order one, can't get financed for one until November, 20th due to just graduating college and just starting a job, (have to wait for my 90 day probationary period to end.) I am just trying to locate one to get an idea on where to go when ready and how much I am looking at for one. Any ideas?

Find an SVT dealer in the area, the can scour the country to find what your looking for. If you really want one, snatch it up quick thats a pretty specific request for a limited production vehicle. Depending on milage, your looking right around 15k...if you find it. Good luck to you.

Did you try this link? (That's how I found mine in Boise, ID)
http://www.fordvehicles.com/dealerships/locate/

Hint:
Where it says "You can also select a specialty to further refine your search:"
Pick, SVT product.

Once you pick the Dealer, just search through their inventory.
Good luck. I'll bet not that many new SVTF's left.[:(]

EDIT:
Also try http://www.autotrader.com

Good luck finding one! I purchased my SVT 2.5 months ago and it was going for 16.1k. I'm pretty sure the dealer still has the Silver ZX3 with HID's for mid-high 15k. The incentives are pretty good and I bet the black SVT's are picked up.

Does it have to be a Euro? You can always buy the rims, recaros, and HID's to get the look... screw the audiophile, aftermarket is the way to go! NOTE: anybody read the SVT manual that came with their car... it says it comes with audiophile AND the audiophile is an option... whoops, someone screwed up...

Good luck man... To find an SVT will be hard, to find one with Euro package will be hard, and then, to find one in black, I doubt there are ANY new ones left and you're gonna have to search nationwide to try and find a used one, I'm willing to bet there are none for sale right now, new or used, they are just that rare...

It would probably be simplest to find an SVT dealer, go there, and have them run a computer search for what you're looking for. But I wouldn't do so until I was ready to buy.

I'd say the longer you wait, the less likely you'll be able to pick one up new. Our local dealer just sold their last SVTf - a black ZX3, although no EAP. I think it had audiophile and sunroof.

I think, at least to me, it would be even more depressing to find it, and to watch it disappear on say, November 19. Sometimes life works that way.

So, come 11/20, head over to your nearest SVT dealer, tell 'em what you want, oh, and be prepared to pay for it. Forgot to mention - when dealers can't sell you one on the lot, they'll be much less inclined to deal on the bottom line. You might also have to pay fees to "pick it up", etc.

You may be able to get a better deal on say, a new 2005 ST because of this factor. And again, there would be nothing wrong with picking up what you want in preowned if it's low miles and good shape.

Good luck! And don't forget to let us know how it all turns out.

(I knew this day would come....I should've been more creative in my selecting a forum name [?|] )

Did not get the EAP package, but did get the Audiophile, and the cold weather package. No biggie though I can always get some different rims, some HIDS, and some different seats[headbang] I found the car in Ronan, MT, found out today their is only one Black SVTF ZX3 left in Texas. Can't wait for Saturday when the car comes in[driving]

Ronan, MT? Don Aadsen huh?
That's where we picked up the wife's Escape.[:D]
Very nice folks to deal with. Really liked them.
Are you coming over here to get it, or is it being shipped out to you?
Ronan isn't that far from us if you're up for a visit.
The drive home on Hwy 12 would be the perfect "break in" run too.[;)]

BTW, Here's your carhttp://www.donaadsen.com/servlets/webSearch?vehicleid=24057690&invdid=26401&url=www.donaadsen.com.[thumb]
Shoot, they don't show the window stickers any more on their site.
Does it have the red or blue inserts for the seats?

And another note of interest in the Standard Features listing:
"Black floor carpeting w/driver-side metallic dead pedal"
Hmmmm. Didn't get one on mine.[:(] Actually, I don't think anyone did.
 
#16 · (Edited)
Black carpet is standard.
I was referring to the "dead pedal" actually, as I don't think any SVTF's came with the pedal.
Most folks have ended up installing the RedLine Tuning dead pedalhttp://www.redlinetuning.com/DP-FOC-ALL-01.html if they wanted one.
That's why I think it's rather interesting to see it listed in the standard features.
Maybe it did come on the earlier models? Just haven't seen an '04 with one.[???:)]
 
#19 ·
Give em a call. Here's their main page. Clicky
I'm sure they'd be glad to verify the dead pedal for ya.
As I said earlier, we thoroughly enjoyed working with that Dealer.
If I didn't have a carport to build over the next two weekends,
I'd take a jaunt over to Ronan and check it out for you.[;)]
It's barely 2 hours from here, and a nice 2 lane "twisty" drive for the most part.

BTW, dead pedal or not, that's going to be a nice car for you! [thumb]

No dead pedals. I think Ford was going to include one and then for some reason at the last minute (cost-cutting, probably) they left it out. No model years of SVT Focus got a dead pedal. If yours has one it's because someone added an aftermarket one.

Same type of thing with the front grille - if you look at the image of the SVT Focus that cycles up sometimes on the main page of this website, you'll see that the hexagonal grille pattern extends over the amber turn signals (like how the regular Focus grille extends over the lights). That's a picture of a prototype SVTF and for some reason the production version of the car has a grille that does not cover the lights. Little things here and there.

I hope you enjoy your purchase! [thumb]

I have everything the EAP has, except the rims and body kit
You actually found the EAP Recaro seats, or were able to order them?
BTW, there's nothing different on the bodies.
What "body kit" are you referring to?

Just to clarify EAP package:
All available options, plus 15 spoke dark argent wheels, and Recaro seats.
That's it.
No special body parts, unless you mean the Screaming Yellow, or Competion Orange paint,
which is only available with the EAP.

Glad I didn't get the EAP package, cause now that I think about it the sliding moon roof would have been a hassle, more problems to go wrong, and not to mention the weight gain. Thats why they give you the A/C option[8D]. And I like the full leather seats the car has now, and heck rims arn't that expensive. [thumb]
