|  What do you think?
My brother is going to look at this tomorrow. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/car/253436841.html He wants something cool and loud, but a focus? He is going to use this as an everyday driver. He is young and dumb and just wants a cool car. Please help me talk him out of it. Whats bad or good about a focus, especially this one. I think the paint sucks, stereo looks ok, wheres the bottle? Wish the rims were more visible.

that's the most riced-out piece of **** I've ever seen.
Anyone that would give him 12k for that is out of their ****ing mind.
It's an automatic!!
Tell your brother that if he buys that, I will personally drive to MN and kick him in the nuts. I'm not even ****ing kidding.

He said he talked to the guy and is ging to check it out and he is going there with a cashiers check! Claims he is not going to buy it without me, cause Im the mechanic in the family, but he is an impulse buyer. He has brought several POS cars home only to say, what do ya think?  POS! | |

$12,000 for a POS someone already beat the **** out of. Sounds like you need to kick some sense into him. | |

Have him go to a Ford dealership and talk to some of their mechanics, and see what they think of them..  Ford is always bragging about the awards that the focus has gotten, but it remains one of the cars that has had the most recalls in recent history. Hell, even Ford guys don't like them.
