This car is in Excellent Condition, inside and out.  I listed many NEW things that were added replaced or upgraded at the beginning of the CONDITION section.  There are a few paint chips that have been filled in with the appropriate color-matched paint...the only thing missing is clear coat to be added to those minor paint touch-ups.  The tires only have about 6,000 miles on them.  The car came with yellow wheels but I decided to go back to the OEM SVT wheels instead, which makes the car more valuable (You'll see them in the photos). Many people do not realize that this car came with many things that the regular FOCUS did not have.  The engine was reworked by COSWORTH (World Famous for making Formula 1 Race Engines) to increase horsepower from 134 to 172. Plus they added a Variable Valve intake cam, gave it stiffer lifter springs and bigger valves.  The Focus also comes with a lowered suspension. Also this is the only Focus to have 4 wheel disc brakes for years 2002-04. The other Focus cars had drum brakes on the rear and smaller discs on the front.  I just replaced the original TOKICO struts with Ford Racing struts upfront and the Ford Racing shocks in back (all 4 came as a kit, so they're perfectly matched).  The A/C went out about 4 weeks ago, so I had the Compressor and Extractor (Condensor) and pressure valves replaced. The Catalytic converter went out about 18 months ago, so I upgraded it to a low restriction Borla designed catalytic converter and had the entire exhaust reworked.  It now has a deep throaty sound but not obnoxiously loud like some of those other tuner mufflers.... It really produces a unique exotic sound, kind of European.  You were probably wondering why my price is high on this car... Well, for one, it is the rarest variant of that year SVT Focus....I included the website link in the previous CONDITION section. Secondly, I have replaced and upgraded several things on this car, so it performs better than new.  Once you drive it, you'll see it is a unique performance car that keeps your adrenaline pumping. It has really tight handling and is very responsive. As a bonus, I'll also include a silver "Sensoro" brand radar detector ($150.00 value) (works great...you'll need it. It has saved me from several tickets), and a special limited edition sunshade for the inside windshield that matches color of car. Finally, what makes this stand apart from a regular Focus is that it comes with HID headlights. Back in 2003, not all of the Focus SVT's came with the HID headlights.  It was a dealer optional upgrade. This Focus has them.
