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.

Ford Claims Focus As World's Best-Selling Car For Second Year In A Row

Mon, Jan 27 2014

Ford Motor Co. has claimed its Focus sedan beat out the Toyota Corolla for the title of 'best-selling car in the world' for the second year in a row. The declaration was based on independent sales figures from January to September of 2013, according to USA Today. Last year, Ford used data from the analysis firm Polk to support its claim of having the best-selling car of 2012. Toyota objected, stating the Corolla sold more units. The numbers eventually showed that the Ford Focus was the best selling nameplate of the year, but may have been second to the Toyota sedan overall since multiple variations of the Corolla are sold under different nameplates around the world. Data from the analysis firm R.L. Polk found Focus registrations from January through September 2013 reached 856,587. Ford can thank booming car sales in China, where the automaker sold 303,481 units, for a sizable chunk of that number, which was a 16 percent increase over 2012. "Our success with Focus is the result of Ford's connection to our customers all over the world," said Jim Farley, an executive vice president at Ford. The Focus and Corolla both compete in the popular small sedan segment, along with other hot-selling cars like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze. These vehicles make a up a large portion of sales for their respective automakers, as they tend to hit a sweet spot for many consumers, coming with a starting sticker price under $20,000, solid fuel economy, plenty of cargo and passenger room and, lately, sharp exterior design and sportier driving dynamics.

Ford CEO Jim Hackett reviewing the future of technology, Lincoln, overseas markets

Mon, Jul 31 2017

By Paul Lienert and Joseph White Ford Chief Executive Jim Hackett is reviewing the automaker's operations in India and other markets, as well as Ford's future product programs including plans to build a self-driving commercial vehicle in 2021. Hackett, who took over as CEO in May, has told investors he is working on a 100-day review of Ford's operations but has so far provided few details of the process, except to indicate that it is looking at the automakers' luxury vehicle strategy, the future of its small vehicles and investments in emerging markets. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told Reuters in an interview that the review covers a range of issues, including Ford's strategy for India. "We have a lot of work to do (as) we address issues of how to fix India," Shanks said. "Everything is on the table." General Motors in May said it would stop selling cars in India but continue to produce vehicles there for export. Shanks said no decisions have been made and noted that Ford has a larger business in India than GM did. "We are very cognizant that will be the third-largest market in the world," he said. "Some big decisions will be made," Shanks said, but he cautioned Ford may not disclose all those decisions at the end of the 100-day review. Hackett is addressing challenges that have contributed to a nearly 8 percent decline in Ford's share price this year. The review of the Lincoln luxury brand includes whether current plans will meet former CEO Mark Fields' ambitious targets for growth and revenue, people familiar with the process said. Ford has set a target of putting a self-driving shuttle into commercial ride-sharing fleets by 2021. Hackett is reviewing the investment and timing for that project, the sources said. Hackett also assessing whether to reduce and consolidate production of models such as the Fiesta subcompact and two midsized sedans that are built in multiple locations around the world, but are experiencing slowing demand. One proposal would shift production of the next-generation Mondeo midsized sedan from Europe to Mexico, where it would share an assembly line with its sibling, the Ford Fusion, avoiding the cost of retooling two plants. Shortly after he took charge, Hackett approved a proposal to shift production of the next-generation Focus for North America from Mexico to China, saving the company an estimated $500 million by consolidating two factories into one.

Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.
