2005 Ford Focus Zx3 Ses - 115k Miles, Orange, Great Shape, Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Woodstock, Illinois, United States
|
I am selling my 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 SES hatchback. I have owned this car for the last 6 years and it has been a daily driver for me. When I got the car, it had 54,000 miles on it. I have never had any issues with this car, I have only had to do normal stuff i.e. tires, battery etc. I would not hesitate driving this car anywhere in the country. I have been using it to make my daily 85 mile round trip commute. I decided I needed four wheel drive because of all of the drifting I deal with on country roads, so it's time to sell the Focus...
The Good Mechanically excellent condition, never had an issue with anything Brand new battery in September 2013 Upgraded Kenwood stereo with USB input and iPod connectivity and control Upgraded speakers 30+ miles per gallon on the highway Manual transmission shifts as smoothly as the day I bought it Starts right up every time Power Mirrors Power Door Locks Remote keyless entry Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles(I have been running synthetic since I bought it) I have 3 keys and 2 remotes(only one has ever been used by me) Sunroof operates just as it should The Not-So-Good There is a dent in the rear passenger side quarter panel about the size of a soft ball, right on the corner The front tires only have about 30% left, rear tires are better There is a small 1/4" size hole in the back seat During the recent cold snap I accidentally broke off the antenna. Not hard to replace. Brakes were replaced at 80,000 miles so they will probably be due soon Very minor rust under the wheel wells, not visible That's about all I can think of. If you have any questions or would like to take a test drive, send me a message and I will accommodate. I have the car listed under KBB value. This car will be a great vehicle for someone looking for a very fuel efficient, fun to drive, good sounding car. I have enjoyed it over the last 6 years and hopefully someone else can enjoy it for at least 6 more. Thanks for looking. |

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
