2002 SVT?yes/no

hi everyone, i am looking into getting a focus and i figured i might as well go all out and go for the SVT.
i have found a 2002 with 80k miles and in great shape mechanically with a ram air intake, and pretty much stock other than that. the cd changer is jammed though. the guy is asking $7000 for it. he said the tires will need to be replaced soon too. any advice?

that sound about right....try and get a lil bit lower if you can....

if it had 80K, the Clutch TSB must have been done by now. check the clutch pedal for vibrations when operating. The 6-disk CD player had a lot of problems apparently. I never had a problem with mine. You can find the stock units on ebay.

Fun little car! I had the 03 SVT (zx5) and it was a blast. I also had the clutch problem and fought with Ford over it. Finally got the clutch replaced (this before the TSB). Sold it and now I really miss it!!:uhoh:

Go for it, but either knock off $500 or have him put on new tires.

Good Luck!!

that sounds like a weak deal... you can find one for a little bit more with less mileage. just do some research. I bought mine at a dealer, had 56k miles on it, paid 10k and it came with new tires, brakes, and all the options except for the EAP

The stock cd changers don't work well at all. Ford says not to play burned cds cause they are thicker and get jammed. I think they said around 400 dollars for a new replacement. Better off going with an after market unit. Also, you can get a svt suspension kit for around 250$. Good way to save money is to go with a plain old zx3 and upgraded. Good luck.
