svt focus back from the dead

[dvpjdm]

I know this is random but I had to tell someone, in 2003 my uncle purchased a brand new blue svt focus. In april of 2004 he wrecked it running from the law.It was impounded and sold at auction. It is now 2012 and the same car is sitting in our garage. We bought it on craigslist two days ago. noticed a very similar burn mark in passenger seat and a k&n filter sticker that was very similar to the one he put on his air box when he installed the filter. Finally paid for a carfax to find out its the same exact car.

I had an '02 red 3-door. It wasn't too bad except that it kept shitting alternators and a few other problems.

Wouldn't mind having a Comp Orange SVT with the Euro Package.

this one wouldn't go into 5th and 6th when we got it, but found out it was these little clips on the shift linkage people don't put back on when they replace a cable. Ive heard about them having shit alternators, so far this one is fine.

How much did you pay for it?

2500 this time around, he bought it brand new from the dealership in 03 and only paid 7 months of payments on it. so technically he came out with it for about 4 to 5 grand. It looks about like it would if he would've kept letting my aunt drive it, a few here and there dings the driver side fender needs to be fixed, but other than that hella good find I think.

Those clips are common problems with these cars. Mine did it frequently.
