Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / March 20062003 Focus ZX3
Hello to the group My son is looking at a used 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 at a local Ford dealer. Dealer is asking $8990. 47,800 miles. Seems like it is in nice shape, with no dents, nice paint, clean, etc. Any suggestions on what I should look for in the way of potential problems with that model and year? Thanks in advance for your help. Tom > My son is looking at a used 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 at a local Ford dealer. > Dealer is asking $8990. 47,800 miles.

Can't help with that, but the price sounds pretty high for that year and mileage. Might be worth checking www.edmunds.com to get a fix on it.  SignatureNoah NADA which has the most accurate prices at which vehicles are currently trading, lists a base 2003 ZX3 with 47K, in average condition, at $7,500 wholesale and $9,200 retail.

SignatureNoah You can believe in the Easter bunny and the tooth fairly if you choose, but NADA which has the most accurate prices at which vehicles are currently trading LOL mike hunt >> NADA which has the most accurate prices at which vehicles are currently >> trading, lists a base 2003 ZX3 with 47K, in average condition, at $7,500 >> wholesale and $9,200 retail.

Of course, if you are also in that category, then never mind. By the way, sarcasm of the kind you display in this and prior posts is really most unbecoming of a person of your supposed years. That is precisely WHY NADA has the most accurate prices at which vehicles are currently trading mike hunt >> You can believe in the Easter bunny and the tooth fairly if you choose, >> but [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > tool of the dealers. Of course, if you are also in that category, then > never mind. Gasp! Who would'a thought, dealers would go by the dealer price book!.. but I'd say they establish the STARTING price for a dealer lot. BTW, Noah.... he's been pissin' people off on here for nigh unto ten years, at least, how long you been here? We're all just lovable old codgers, at heart... and we deliver the goods. > That is precisely WHY NADA has the most accurate prices at which > vehicles are currently trading [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> tool of the dealers.

SignatureYeh, I'm a Krusty old Geezer, putting up with my 'smartass' is the price you pay..DEAL with it! >>NADA which has the most accurate prices at which vehicles are currently >>trading, lists a base 2003 ZX3 with 47K, in average condition, at $7,500 >>wholesale and $9,200 retail.

Around here they all use kelly blue book. www.kbb.com I suppose that would depend on how the previous(s) owners used or abused the vehicle and how well they maintained it or not. mike hunt > Hello to the group > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Tom Thank you everybody for your responses.

Sounds like an awful lot for the little shitbox. If it were a Civic or an Accord the price might be about right. |
