Here's the deal ... I desided to get out of my Ford Escape
4 cyl, 4x4, 5sp
Now I have two say with Ford
So I want a car but not a Taurus
So Mustang or Focus ??
Mustang $27000 at 0% Lease
Or
Focus $25000 at 7.5% Lease
Oh did I mention that the Mustang is a Convertable ???
Don't be an idiot.Quote:

The Focus has had a huge number of problems. I read somewhere it was the worst new car to come out in years. This was a couple of years ago so they may have fixed them. You might want to check into it.
btw I was looking at the Escape since I need an suv and it looked smaller than most and more fuel efficient. How did you like yours?
Who the phuck would pay 25k for a focus??? I thought those were economy cars...starting very sub $15k, loaded still less than $20k. Sh!t for $25k you can get into a pre-owned certified something...like an Acura, or loaded Honda, they come with up to 100,000 mile warrantees to boot!
And why Ford might I ask?
Oh wait...that's canada money you're talking about... :p
Still, only a 2000 dollar difference?Quote:

Having said that. The New Mustangs come out in September. At least thats what the Ford Dealership told me... Wait till then and get The New Mustang.
I loved my escape but I have to get rid of it ...
The new Mustang will start at 35000G for a convertable if you can get one... and no good financing for a long time....
And Ford will get me out even if I buy another Ford
I don't understand how a focus is 25K but a Mustang is 27K.
Does the focus come with 12 grand cash in the trunk?

Need you really ask?!?!?!?
The one that gets me is the fact you can buy a coupe for 19,900
With A/C, Cruse, power seat,
Or a Focus 2dr base
NO A/C, Cruse, Power Seat
For 18,500
Maybe you still get a free Dell when you buy a Focus?Quote:

Besides the Vette, we also have a 2000 Mustang bought in 2003 and it is THE LAST FORD I WILL EVER OWN. I hate that car with a passion. I don't get on my soap box very often, but when it comes to the little Muskrat car........ It gets terrible gas mileage 19-22 on the highway with the AC off and it's a V-6 w/automatic trans, with the AC on between 30 amd 45 mph it surges in and out of overdrive (I know now why they put that little overdrive override button on the shifter) needless to say I can't run the AC as much as I want to, and your butt is asleep after driving about 75 miles. It has the most uncomfortable seats of any car I have ever owned. I am looking forward to getting rid of that car ASAP. I have changed the plugs, fuel filter, had the computer checked, trans checked, alignmenent etc and no-one can explain why this junker is behaving like it is AND I hope you never have to put anything larger that a grocery bag through the opening in the trunk. I have to haul most everything either in the front seat ,or if it's a semi flat box that won't fit in the trunk and I have a passenger, the back seat. Ford.....Found On Road Dead...Fix Or Repair Daily.......F'n Old Rebuilt Dodge are all true statements with this car. Mustang=:flame:
I was lookng to buy a Focus ( its not that bad u know), in US$ about 14,000 with most of the options.
Well it's down to the wire every one :
Mustang 2004 Convertable - Air, Cruse, Power Seat, 6 Disk CD
Ford Focus 2005 ST - Air, Cruse, Moon Roof, Heated seats, 6 disk MP3 player
Mazda Protoge 2003 - Air, Auto

Is the mustang a v8? If so that's my choice. If not, I would go with the focus, but see if you can get a better price...25k canadian is like $19000 US...still seems very high even fully loaded, especially with the mustang only a few thousand more.Quote:

BTW is the 6 point bar legal or is it a street bar? :grin:

This is pretty much an exact match of body and color an '86' Z-28 I had bought brand new , the 5 speed trans didn't hold up under abuse :D

You haven't lived until you have seen your car doing 130+ on the Dyno sitting still. Scary.Quote:

(my car is almost done and I can not wait. Can ya tell?) :grin:
Me is green with envy! Except I can run on street gas.
So does the engine I have in the dragster now. 484 hp + 87 octane +1400 lb car = 9.40 quarter mile times! :thumbs:Quote:

It was more fun doing 130+ down theQuote:
