So I've walked... ended up buying from the dealership next town over... needless to say won't even bother with the local dealership next time...

ok... btw... my completely over the top, personal SEMA build... LOL!!!

That's awesome!!

I am getting ready to order a Mustang V6 Perf. Pack or a Focus ST, and the salesman kept talking x-plan. What does that mean? The price seemed good.

X-Plan is a for pricing plan.... it is for partner/supplier company's employees. At one time it also was for "Friends and Family"... if you knew someone that worked at Ford. If you look at the car's invoice you'll find a box labeled x-plan... if you are eligible for x-plan that is your price, which is less than MSRP of course, and that is what you pay... no haggling!

Cool...thanks for the info!

I talked to the salesman today. Based on the initial numbers we are close enough to go look closer this weekend. The one I am going to look at has ST2 and ST3 with 4k miles. Then they have another with ST2 and 10k miles.

Camaro and Focus ST. I would really have to watch the mod spending...

Yours looks sweet!

Yeah, there is a LOT of aftermarket support for the ST! So there are a LOT of options when it comes to modding the ST!

If you can get an ST that cheap then grab it. They are 28k (sticker) around me. You can get it down a little (more with x-plan) but they are high atm.

The titanium is nice also but hard to find as a manual.

dkp2LT · 06-09-2013, 07:05 PM

I have to wait. We ended up starting a refi on the house late last week so I don't want to mess up our credit. If that can close within the next five weeks or so (or when I can ensure it won't screw up the closing) then I will start the process again. I am guessing both will be gone by then since the weather is finally getting better but I can talk to them about getting another used one in.

Wife wanted me to look at the RT Charger but that one goes way above what I have for our budget the way I would want it & I really need a crossover or hatchback. Plus I do not want to sell the Camaro.

Edit: I will not sell the Camaro...

Except I found the regular Focus to be pretty much a dog... LOL

Yeah I agree. I have decided that I need something with a little bite.

Wondering if anyone has driven one long term or knows anything about them. Also would have to spend a few bucks for winter tires which is something I'm not too thrilled about. Another one I like is the Subaru Crosstrek but it's only 148hp & AWD - so I'm not sure it can get out its own way going up a good hill.

Did the Ricardo seats come with rich corinthian leather?

I can attest to that, but they are nice cars otherwise.

My folks bought a new 1975 Chrysler Cordoba that had that leather. I have to say those seats were wonderful at the time!

I think Ford did a really good job with the new Focus - nothing like the previous model. The interior is very nice for the class & the exterior styling isn't near as blah.
