Hello everyone. I'm thinking about picking up a SVT Focus that has 30,663 miles for $11,998. It looks good from the outside. I test drove it, and it drives great. However, whenever I approached 6000 RPM's (Redline is at 7000), there was a ticking noise from the engine. Not loud, but anybody in the car could hear it. When I backed down from 6000 RPM's, the sound disappeared. Sounded like lifters from older engines. I popped the hood when I returned it and the original owner installed a AEM intake.
Like SVT Cobra's, whats a good sign that somebody dogged the car? What about the price?
