so i was hunting around kijiji looking at focus for sale when i came across this one,
http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-c...QAdIdZ197284764
i contacted the guy and he says the car is stock except a lowering kit.
doesnt look stock to me, different headlights. grille and the paint doesnt look factory. any body seen this focus before? special edition?? and the pictures look a little staged, fake ad??? hmmmmmm
Look at his other ads, he looks for damaged fords and probably rebuilds from wrecks.
I dont trust it, i like the colour but seems a little fishy

even if the car was in good condition and some extra goodies, I wouldn't pay over 1000.00 for something with that many kms anyways... its fishy.
its got Focus Sedan rims and new tires, and ST-170 head lights and euro grille, definitely not stock, its also infront of a performance shop, take the hint
Take a look at the background. Texaco, Richfield and Exxcon. This guy is not located in Owen Sound!
BULL$hit
LMAO senior driven??? suuuuurrrreeeee what senior has their focus lowered and aftermarket lights??? SCAM!
looks like EGZ off fj's car....
Here's an interesting exchange between me and the seller ... it starts at the bottom, but basically I called him out on using a photo of someone else's car - and a modified one to boot ... here's his response in all its juvenile glory.

If your car is modified in the same way, then I'm interested ... that would be with the lowered F2 coil-over suspension, the ST170 Euro headlights, the Ghia front grill, and the Tru-bendz exhaust.
As I doubt your car has those mods then frankly I'm not interested in a car with 230k for anywhere near 2900.
If you have pics of your own car you should use those in the kijiji ad instead ... there are a lot of people in the Focus community who know the car in the pic you lifted (it's from Virginia USA) - and FYI it comes with an engine that was never available in Canada.
