Looking for opinions on the car we want to purchase - 2005 ford focus ZX4 ST?
we are a family on a budget. we have 2 kids. my husband works full time and im starting school in the fall. right now we drive a 1993 plymouth acclaim we bought for $1500 last year, but its now got 210000 kms (131000 miles) and we have sunk over $3000 in repairs over the last year, so we're looking at upgrading to something more modern, with a monthly car payment and buying the extended warranty for 2 years. We've looked around town and we've mostly decided on a 2005 ford focus zx4 st. we werent even going to consider it until we test drove it and compared it to the other vehicles in our price range. its got 95000 kms on it (59000 miles) and is fully loaded with sunroof, heated leather seats, 5 speed manual, power everything, 6 cd changer, premium upgraded sound system etc etc etc. nothing else in our price range has compared feature wise. the car we're looking at is listed at $7895, canadian funds. are we getting a good deal? from what i can see online, i think we are although its hard to find this sport edition for sale, its mostly the focus SE or SES. we like this one because even though we cant afford huge payments right now with me going to school, its still top of the line for this particular model with all the features. its also, MUCH MUCH nicer to look at inside than our current crapmobile haha. so - opinions please? what do you think of this car? it seems to fit the bill perfectly - spacious enough for 2 car seats in the back and a double stroller in the trunk for the babies, but sporty and fun enough for mom and dad to enjoy driving daily.
