Default 2002 Ford Focus SVT 4 sale

I have a fully loaded red SVT Focud that i am selling. It has every option winter pkg.(traction control,heated seats)sunroof,Audiophile sound system(8'' sub in trunk,6 disk cd changer). I had a RED AEM Cold Air Intake instaled about a month ago and got brand new Falken Ziex 512 about a month ago also. The car only has 11,500 miles on it was only driven from home to school-4 miles. I am asking $16,000 OBO. I am only selling it to get a cheaper car so i am able to make payments.

Wrong forum....plus they were only $18,000 new.....not nice to try and rip someone off and make all your money back when you're upside down on it.

But good luck selling it. I'd recommend ebay.

$16,000 is a bit high. The 2003's can be had brand new for about that price with the rebates. About 6-months ago I saw the 2002 left-overs going for the price of a base model ZX3 (about $13,500).

Unfortunately these cars don't hold their value for shit (mine is only 3.5-years old and worth just less than half the original sticker price)...so I wish you the best of luck selling your car.

My car isn't too bad. New it was about $10,000 for the base model fleet car. It's worth about $3500 now. It's 6 years old. It holds value better than dodge or chevy does!

Cars are probably the absolute worst investment one could make...and Ford wants to keep reminding us of that fact. My next car will be something used and probably an Import (i.e. an Acura product since they have a decent resale value). I'm still going to keep the Focus, mainly because by the time I can afford another car, I would probably have to pay someone to take my Focus off my hands.

I really wish I could have purchased a leftover Integra Type R instead of this car. Today, ITR's are selling for sticker price or more! I don't think there is another car priced under $25k built in the past 10 years (or more) that has this sort of resale value.
