zx5 focus svt, or zx4 focus ST
What are you mainly looking for? V8 fun? Gas saving econobox? Comfy leather?
Without knowing anything, I present some options:
-P71 Crown Vic. A dime a dozen, comfy, roomy, tanks, tons of parts available, respectable speed for a cheap DD.
Crown Vic? Continental? Seriously?? What about something that actually gets gas mileage that isn't in the freaking teens and isn't a total piece of shit? Get a honda and call it a day. Can't lose.
They're out there for $5K, just gotta get to the owners who don't think they're sitting on gold.
