Post by: 1986Élan on February 03, 2010, 10:58:55 AM
Well its been too much time im trying to locate a daily driver thats worth it and i think i finally found a good deal  its a focus zx5 2002 with 79 000 miles on it looks clean its located at a hyundai dealer and im going to check it out tomorrow

From the reviews ive read its a pretty good and reliable car but i was wondering if any of you guys had anything to say about those cars and what to check when buying one except all the general things to look when buying any used car

thanx guys

where did you read your reviews about this car from?
http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/ford/focus/

my mother traded in thier minivan for a sedan one in '03 and the transmission went on it in two days, that only had 4500 miles on it. they got the van back.
my former bosses wife had one too, had 2.0 splitport that literally split in half with less than 20k on it. ford refused to fix it even though it had all service records and she isnt a racecar driver or car illiterate(knows how to check the oil and stuff).
she parked it infront of the dealship with a sign and documents stating what happened for a month before the dealership stepped up and bought it back.

i never had one so i cant say anything about them :rolleyes:

friend has a 01 z something or another. I know its the DOHC. Motor mounts have gone out, fuel pump twice. Other then that, no real problems. Put about 70,000 miles on it in about 4 years.

A report through Ford's OASIS database couldn't hurt for the warranty claims. PM me the VIN. I have access.

My mom has a 2006 ZX4 SES. Only major thing that we had to do was fix a leak at the front of the transmission.

No biggie. If something else comes up, let me know. I can run report if the vehicle is under 10 years of age. Anything over that will only show open recalls.
