Well, since the car itself isnt all that exciting (though I'm quite tickled with it--coming from a 1990 Taurus) how about we play a game. I'll give you guys some info about it, and you can guess the price I paid.
Tis Silver (nearly perfect paint, though a scratch on the rear bumper), a five speed, one owner, has 42,000 miles on it, loaded (16 inch wheels, keyless entry, fogs, other miscellenia) and has all the maintenence records and what not. I spent a few hours detailing it yesterday, and it looks essentially like a new car.
SO...lets here, what do you guys think I paid/fair price for it?

Thanks, I'm probably more excited than I should be about a four-banger, but oh well. I guess ill finally have to figure out how to work the forum's image attachment feature. After doing the interior yesterday, I'm washing/waxing it today so maybe ill put some pics up tonight. Compared to everyones Mustangs and such its hardly special, but its my first stick shift (I'm 17) and the Focus is a way better car than I ever gave it credit for.

Needs to be more Astony
i was thinking of trading my 98 Grand prix GTP and getting a focus zx3 5-speed. But they seemed more expensive then you got yours for. Sounds like you got a great deal!

I *thought* about getting one for a daily driver to leave miles off the Mach ... They're pretty nice litte cars! I especially like them before the redesign a year or two ago.

Pretty nice car! Welcome to the "still don't have a Mustang" club! I'm driving a Malibu Classic! Wanna race? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

I swear, never in the history of my life has a digital camera ever had a charge when I needed it. Anyhow, I finally got around to taking a few pics. Now if only I could figure out how to upload them (to the site that is, not my computer). Anyone got any tips for me?

^Thanks for the link, but for some reason each time I try to upload the file it says Im exceeding my limit. I guess Ill try to figure out how to resize them.
Sorry, I'm officially techno-illiterate =/. I could email the pics to someone if they would care to resize/post them for me? If not, don't worry about it. This is just like that time I forgot how to spell "couch" in sixth grade...

Go to the following site
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa...ppowertoys.mspx
In the right corner, about in the middle of the page, you'll see setup for something called Image Resizer. Download it, install it, and you will be able to resize pictures.
