Hey Guys i already own a 99 Cobra and 04 Lightning and i'm thinking of picking up this 03 SVT Focus for a daily.
My Lightning and Cobra are black and this fits exactly what I want, minus the red interior and the black wheels, but there really isn't much better in the area. I've been looking for 2 weeks now and I can't find anything better.
I've done some research and I know that timing belts are a issue for these things and the guy told me that he bought it from a auction and doesn't know if it's been done but he has owned one personally and said that it will need motor mounts for sure. The guy seems to be honest, reputable and forthcoming. I've negotiated the price down a bit and we are going to meet at a buddy's shop on Thursday morning so i can check it out more in depth.
What I wanted to ask is if there are any specific things I should look at? I was planning on looking at the cylinders with a scope to make sure there isn't any damage and do a compression test but if you guys have any other recommendations, or know of anyone selling one, please let me know.
Thanks
Berj
