The Focus does not have a T56 6-speed.

T56 6-speeds are a RWD transmission found in Corvettes, F-Bodys, GTOs, Vipers, and Cobra Mustangs.

What they have is a 6-speed Getrag Transaxle.


It's wishfull thinking to think the Focus has a T56, that'd imply that it's RWD and that Ford actually built a cool car.






Joking aside, the SVT Focus really is a badass little go-kart.

It's hard to find one here though, they barely sold/sell those here.

Have you ever bothered to check outside of your area? Like, maybe in a neighboring state? Where values are lower?

I check out of state from time to time, and the prices are decently lower when I do. Like, just looking to Arizona/Oregon I see prices are pretty competitive.

how far is the drive to georgia? i mean if i found a car i thought was definatly worth looking at, id be willing to drive 3 or 4 hours to take a look...

It would be a petty long haul to get from Miami to Georgia. I agree though, I ended up saving almost 4 grand when I bought my Jeep because everyone in town want 16 grand for what I was looking for and those Jeeps were with 60k on it as well. I looked at other parts of Ohio where the cost of living isnt as high. I eneded up paying 12,500 for a JGC with only 36k on it and the best part was I only had to drive a little over an hour to get there.


Little over an hour drive saved me almost $4000 and 25-30k miles. It was well worth the drive. I wouldnt look out of the state but I would def. look outside of Miami because its mucho expensive down there.....


Another thing thats a little off topic. You are really worry about your cars to much. I understand your young and thats cool. All I wanted when I was your age was nice cars as well, but now that I have aged I wish I would have bought a house a little sooner instead of worrying about what I was riding around in. I could be a cool 10 years into a mortgage payment instead of only one year.

I know everyones priorties are dif. but it seem that you would want to get out and live on your own with your girl and expierence life earlier instead of later. All though I lived with my Mom till I was 22 and only had a car payment to show for it.

2 car payments = staying at home with the parents for a lot longer unless the Insurance buisness is booming and money wont be an issue..



My 2 cents

[Musashi3000GT]

Bro, the Jetta is hanging in there for now. How can you bitch about a 70 dollar hose and seriously consider a whole nother car?
thats so far from making sense!

Any used car you buy your gonna need to put money into, ANY!
unless you get it with a factory warranty but that implies more money spent. right now you have a possible expense when it comes to the Jetta because it might break more stuff which can be easily fixed.
or you have a guaranteed expense if you choose to buy another car. The simple fact that you would have to dish out 600 dollars to get the A/C fixed already puts you on the high expense route.

every single car your looking at is a performance car. (which seriously she dossent need) So if up to now the cheepest you can find is a 10K redline, add tax, tag, tittle, dealer fees, commission and your looking at 12,500.00 out the door. you say you can get 10K on your jetta (which with that big hit you have on the rear quarter pannel I doubt) so that still leaves you with a 2,500.00 expense cost. Add the insurance down payment and the 600.00 for A/C repair so that you can actually get the 10K on the Jetta (alegedly), and you need have a cost of $3,100.00 just to get another car.

are you gonna tell me that it makes sense to spend 3100.00 dollars because the jetta might break another 70 dollar hose?

you got some expenses and debts you have to take care off before you even consider spoilling yourself some more with a car you dont need! lets take care of shit like that first and then do whatever it is you do.

Well put Musashi. I couldn't have said it better myself.

[jeepgclwj]

Its obvious he looks up to Musashi. When Musashi got hi Goat Gotian got a RX-8. When Musashi's wife gets a Redline its time to get rid of the Jetta and get something new....


No offense but you should try living your own life and you ask people for advise and then you act like you dont want to hear what everyone has to say unless its what you want to hear. I got news for you your the one thats puts all of your info on here. This is the internet and we all have opinions. Yours are just way out there.

I personally dont care what you get and what you dont get. From being on this forum for about a year you clearly stand out to me the most. Not a compliment. I really for the life of me cant see how anyone can tell you anything. You seem to have all of your answers so why bother getting other peoples opinions and putting your whole life out there for all of to see. Its kind of comical so screw it keep it up it gives me something to read everyday......

[-The Stig-]

Mushman does it again... Thank you sir.

[CivRacer95]

Just so you know Gotian, I made two trips to buy the car I own this day. One trip was from Utah to Illinois to see Joshy. There I found the Eclipse. And I took great interest in it. Soon enough when I got the word that he was selling it, I went for it.

Thus I travelled from Upstate New York down to Illinois again to make my purchase. Was it worth it? Sure was. I enjoy my new car. So why not make a trip to find a car. I personally inspected it, got a test drive and bought it. It was well worth it to me.

Granted at this point I'm contimplating on selling it, but still. Owning this car was a blast, well worth it, and made me realize that shopping in just one area, you miss out on everything that's around you. There's always a good deal if you truly look for it. Always. Enough said.

But I agree with everyone. Keep the Jetta. Mushy made a great point. So stick with it.

I got the rx-8 cause if i waited any longer i wouldnt be able to get it and my girl wouldnt have a car and I'd have to keep taking her back and forth to and from work. Also it just so happens that musashi and his wife got the redline around the same time i found out how much im getting for my taxes, i've been thinking about dumping my jetta for a while cause honestly it's not just the parts, its the whole fixing crap, the other day when the hose for the coolant blew I was driving my girl from work and the car started smoking. I had no idea that i was leaking coolant because the reservoir was always full and there were no puddles or anything indicating a leak. I had to leave the car at my job cause that was like the halfway point and call musashi to pick us up. I was glad that I was driving that day and not my g/f cause she probably wouldve blown the engine. Well doesnt matter anyways, I already said I was gonna see how the car is acting for the next couple of weeks, so I'd appreciate it if the personal attacks would stop.

I post here asking for opinions about 2 cars not your opinions about me. Which btw jeep I dont like you either and I would rather listen to a pile of shit before your advise comes in. And by the way you say that you dont care, but obviously you do somewhat because if you truely didnt you wouldnt find the time to go and post something on the topic...god i wish there was a kiss my ass smilely right now.

And all of you who gave me some info on the cars, I really appreciate it, thanks guys.

Oh and BTW The insurance business is always booming considering everyone needs insurance from order of the state, banks, landlords, and so on.
