My brother-in-law is selling his Focus. He got an estimate to fix it and he is very much NOT a car guy so he is just letting it go. Looks like its simple fix stuff. If I weren't 700 miles away, I'd buy it myself to help him out, but its not in the cards. I'm pretty sure he's asking $650 http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/4059589844.html

Anyway, he posted this ad in the local paper. If anyone is interested, shoot me an email at curtong@gmail.com with your phone number or email address and I'll forward it to him.

2000 Ford Focus – Mechanic Special! Fixer-upper or use for parts I’m selling my 2000 Ford Focus. The car has been dependable but at this point I am looking for something new. It has 144,000 miles on it and has a recently replaced transmission and air conditioning system. Driver/passenger side airbags, 2.0L Zetec engine W/5-speed manual, front wheel drive, dual power mirrors, AM/FM stereo with 1 disc CD, rear window defroster. The car needs the following repairs: -New right front tire rod-in -Front pads, rotors -E-Brakes cable -Wheel cylinders and wheel bearings -Battery -Heat shields (gas tank and mid-exhaust) -Alignment -Replacement of back right window motor If you’re looking for either a fun challenge in repairing a decent vehicle or Ford Focus parts, this is for you. I will accept cash only and license plates will be removed before the car is taken. I will have a clean title in hand as well as a copy of the estimate from the repair shop should you want it.

How many doors? Sedan, Hatchback, or wagon?

In reply to SilverFleet:

I am guessing a 3 door ZX3 due to having the Zetec.....most sedans got the 1.9L valve dropper.

The '00 has some oddly unique one year only quirks to them, but they're nice cars.

Honestly, don't know. He's a long distance from me and I don't have photos yet.

If only I hadn't parted out & scrapped a rolled '00 ZX3 I had earlier this year...

Bump for dramatic affect.... Will it sell? Will it drop a valve seat? Tune in next week...

The listing says it has the Zetec 16V motor (not the SPI I mentioned above), so no valve seat worries.
