The SVT is a very good deal for what you get. Getrag 6 speed, leather, 6 disc in dash, great handling, fun, cheap to own.
If you do end getting one I would suggest buying one from a dealer where you can look for issues 30 days after buying it. Get all those TSBs taken care of. I am so glad I bought mine from a dealer, and not a private party, because the dealership had to fix all the little problems I got. I have a few connections in the Focus community as well. You can get a great tune from Tom at focus-power.com for 4 or 500$ that really makes the Focus come alive. They were built in 2002, 2003, and 2004. I would get a 2003 or 2004. Euro package SVTs come with Recaros, HID, and the rims I have. Its a practical choice, and still fun. Takes premium gas though and gets about 25 or so mpg. Best i have gotten has been 27.7 mpg. Watch out for SVT rims though, they bend easily.
You can also get a unique certificate from SVT with your build number on there.
