Up for auction is my 2003 SVT Ford Focus.  This is the 5 door ZX5 version which is a bit harder to find.  I am the second owner of this SVT.   The focus currently has 228,000 miles on it.  These miles are mostly hwy miles as I drive a lot for work.   I have used Synthetic oil for all my oil changes as did the previous owner.   Though the car has high miles it runs great and has a lot of life yet.  This car is stock and was not abused or raced.  Below I will go through some of the pluses and minuses the car has.   Please email me with any questions.  The car is located in Baton Rouge, LA and I can pick up the buyer at either the Baton Rouge or New Orleans airport.   The car is sold with no warranty.   If you want any other pictures just drop me a note.  


Body
The paint overall is in very good condition.   As with any car with this mileage it has rock chips on the hood and bumper.  The rear bumper does have an issue with the clear coat peeling.  I have included a picture of the rear bumper for you.  This recently happened and not sure why.  One of the two fog lights has cracks due to a rock.  

Engine
The engine runs great.   The Focus will have a fresh oil change for the new buyer.  The timing belt was last changed at 137,400 miles.  It will be due soon at 237,400.   For peace of mind the buyer may want to do it earlier.  I already have all the parts and they will be included with the car.  The only known issue with the engine is a very small coolant leak from the thermostat housing.  Though this is a common Focus issue the housing and thermostat are brand new.   Not sure why this small leak comes and goes.  The water pump was changed at 180,000 miles.  

Transmission
There are no issues with the transmission.  The clutch was changed at 180,000 miles.  It is the Getrag 6 speed manual transmission and shifts as it should.  It has the typical Getrag clutch rattle at idle which is just how they are made.  

Brakes
Brakes are true.  I put on EBC green pads last year.

Interior 
Interior is clean and free from tears.  The seats are clean and in good condition.  The 6 disc cd changer works and it has the subwoofer in the trunk.   Every once in awhile the radio screen dims and then comes back.  All of the steering wheel controls work.  The sunroof works as it should.

Suspension 
I replaced all of the shocks and struts around 170,000 miles.  I replaced the originals with the same OEM SVT package.   The tires have 80 % life left and are Kumhos.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.
