Where else to look beyond eBay and Craigslist?

I'm looking for a very specific car - a '04 Sonic Blue SVT Focus 3 door with the EAP. I've been looking on eBaymotors, Craigslist, and doing the google searches in every combination I can think of, but have yet to find one. The closest I've found is a 5 door that someone swapped a regular Focus bumper onto.

I have a friend of my fathers with an auction license searching the auto auctions that dealers go to for me, but I'm impatient, and I have to imagine there's one out there somewhere waiting on me to find it.

Where else can I search for this car?

Thanks!

Have you looked in Canada or do you want something local?
There seems to be a lot of SVT Focus for sale around here.

Here's a couple of the more popular search engines for Canadian cars:

AutoTrader.ca
Kijiji.ca

Being in south Florida, I'm about as far away from Canada as you could get, but if the right car was found there, I don't think the distance would prevent me from getting it. Thanks for the links - neither one had the car I'm looking for, but I'll keep trying.

Thanks all - still not the one yet. The three door you posted is one of a few that I could fall back on if I can't find one with the EAP. EAP is the European Appearance package, and has three components - HIDs, multi-spoke rims (it's either 15 or 17 spoke, I forget which), and (most importantly for me) Recaro leather interior.

The 5 door you posted is the 5 door I mentioned in my first post (the one with the regular focus bumper).

I appreciate anyone trying to help out.

use google
advanced search
click date, usage rights etc
click on the date column to within 24hrs
search whatever the hell you need.

btw this works really well if your looking for computer parts that are either on sale or "enter and win" type situation. lol
