FS -- 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 S $3750

OK kids.

I know one of you either needs or knows someone who needs a good "beater". I'm not really going to call this a beater. There's no rust, no mechanical problems, the AC works, it gets 29mpg every gd tank and it has satellite radio.

The Lowdown:

2005 Ford Focus ZX3 S. (2 door hatchie)
112000 miles. (Ok, 111,7something)
Black
5 Speed
Manual windows
Manual Locks
AC.
2.0 Duratec (130hp, timing chain)
Oil changes every 5k with Ford Motorcraft earl and filter.
Brandy new brakes and rotors.
Tires last year, still have lots of life
SVT Suspension (shocks, springs, rear swaybar)
Pioneer head unit with aux input and Sirius receiver.
I have some 17" Kosei K1's that go with the car for asking price. If you want to haggle, you lose them.

Yeah, the miles are a little high. But this thing is rock solid.

Here's the rundown of ANY mechanical issue we've EVER had with the car:
May 2006: A tractor trailer bumps us on I-95. :evil: This is professionally repaired at the HBurg Ford dealership. They replace the hatch and fix the body pan. It has resulted in NO issues with alignment or tire wear.
April 2009: Alternator goes. We replace it with a NEW Ford OEM alternator and NEW belt at the Manassas Ford dealership.
May 2009: Headlights are replaced.
March 2010: Power steering fluid flush. Not really a problem, we just did it @ 100k miles. Dealer also replaced license plate illumination lights. Dealer recommended NO additional service be done to the car.
June 2010: Front Pads and Rotors are replaced with NEW Ford OEM parts. Again, didn't really need it. They were squeaking, and it was annoying.
July 2010: Julie & Rex begin to discuss Focus replacement, find the PERFECT Subaru Outback Sport at a dealer in Fredericksburg; they can't resist.

So there you go. I have nothing to hide with this car. It's a good car. I'm going to be honest, I was skeptical when Julie bought a Ford (I was always a Chevy man) but this has been a great, fuel efficient, comfortable, semi sporty, reliable ride.

I'm going to give her a bath and Vacuum her out and put up pictures, but in the meantime:

With Kosei K1's:




With Stock Steelies and 'caps:




It looks *exactly* the same, those were just taken 2 years ago.

The Price?

$3750

KBB Sez:
Excellent: $4,815
Good: $4,315
Fair: $3,490

So I think $3750 is more than a fair price. I'm going to put it on CL for 4k.

Thanks everybody!

You would think. But no. I got an email this morning saying he wants me to pay for a new backup light sensor. :evileye:

Sorry man, as-is, no warranty. You got plenty of time to inspect before you bought it. :bootyshake:
