| | | Posted by vince especially with that mileage (i'm assuming 200k is around 120,000 miles)
The milleage is 43,200 km Apparently it was own by some old men
| still, i am leery of that vintage Focus. drive and see if you like it. It's the least you can do. Asking for an opinion on a board like this is bound to get you 90 different answers and 90 different cars thrown at you. I myself am guilty of it. I am GM centric, but do know a bit about most cars having been a mechanic and into cars for most of my life. I say that listening to the collective here (which is pretty good, despite the bickering) will arm you with some info, but in the end, it's YOU driving the car, it's YOU paying the money, it's YOU that are stuck with it, good or bad. i may say that vintage Focus is crap. Twelve other guys will get on here and say that vintage Focus was sweetness and light... at some point, you've got to climb behind the wheel and see if it's you.

| | | Posted by vince Ok, I finnaly pass my DL and I want a car.Fast.But I don't want to make a mistake and buy some piece of shit.I have 5000$ or less.My ideas are the following.I want a spacious car ,comfort matters more than speed to me.Something I can sleep into during my exploration road-trips.Any sugggestion, << do not buy this >> etc ? Thanks - Mazda 3 - Chevrolet Lumina, Impala - Pontiac grand prix
| I don't think you can sleep in any of those, and would def stay away from the mazda 3. I'd recommend Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, reliable, big enough to sleep in, cheap parts, and all around tough car.

| not a bad choice, i hate to say. with a police interceptor, make sure you get one with service documentation. Also, not sure if the design continued on the newer 4.6L's, but the heater line from the water pump to the core is a douche when it fails. It was a metal line that ran THROUGH the intake valley and was prone to rot and failure.
