03 SVT Focus ZX5

[MarauderTJA]

I really hate to sell this car. It is an incredible sports compact. But due to some requirements I must meet with the Federal Government I need to buy a gas guzzeling SUV. I have driven this car more than 20K over the highway since last August and it is extremely comfortable ride. A blast to drive. Only of 538 built like it.

The car has been meticulously cared for as I am anal about taking care of my machines. Mobil 1 every 3000 miles, has 60K with 3/4's highway miles. 6 Speed with SVT Cosworth forged 16 valve engine. A 150 MPH car out of the box. Had the car up to 145 MPH in 5th with more to go. Car averages 30-32 MPG on the highway, 22 city. Is amazingly fast. Car is in excellent condition inside and out.

Car has every option available:

1. HID headlights.
2. Heated seats
3. Block heater
4. Side airbags
5. Sunroof
6. Ford Audiophile 6 disc CD Audio system w/subwoofer

Asking 14K will take best reasonable offer. I will e-mail you pictures, so PM me your personal e-mail address if interested.

The more I think about it, the less I feel like selling it. Just don't have the garage space...

Build a bigger garage!

Build a bigger garage!

Good idea, but I don't have the room unless I go up:hmmm:...Then I could add a lift...:thinker:. Maybe I should look into renting a garage. Never mind, I am keeping the car..It is off the market...

Your right.. Plus the car is an SVT certified car with a 100K bumper to bumper warranty.... Not going to sell it...Just had a brand new windshield put in today after a rock put a big crack in it while driving down here to Gulfport, MS from TN.

I have tried to upload some pics several times, but the upload always fails due to the size of the file. Used Photobucket before and tried it for the SVT picture but it again says file is to large. I have a 10MP camera that I used. Probably the issue. Tried to upload the pics to the gallery as well. No luck.

Before I bought my DTR I owned a 00 ZX3 that I had spent alot of time/money modifying. Engine, tranny, full exhaust, suspension, body, wheels tires, I can't remember it all. Car was quick for a 4banger and handled like a go cart. You guys are making me really miss it :(

My '02 was a blast but I needed more room. It had a 'few' problems but still enjoyable.

You can set photobucket to accept a picture upto 1mb in size, look to the top of the upload boxes.

Here is my old 2001 ZX3. Just picked it up from the Ford dealer I worked for. The body shop painted and put on the 4pc Steeda ground effect kit for me.

And then of course some dumb drunk hit me while doing over 100mph on the interstate but everything happens for a reason. If I still had the Focus I would of never brought a Marauder, enjoyed this site so much and meet some really great people.

Held up pretty well for me going 62mph and the drunk going 100-105mph. Of course my body didn't like it too much and still doesn't.

If anything happens to my Marauder, the engine is going to be pulled and put in a ZX3 for the V8 RWD conversion :insert evil grin:

I shoot a Nikon D80 10.2 as well.
Go to Microsoft powertoys and download a little file caller "image resizer".
It will add a line when you right click on an image file and offer to 'resize' the image to whatever you want, retaining the original image if you choose. I use 1024x768 and file file shrinks to 87k from well over 5mb.

Look for the 'IMAGE RESIZER' tool.

Thanks, will look into it. I have lots of various pictures but haven't had the time or energy to look into git-r-done...

...vista issues again.

Sorry. I tried.;)

I appreciate your help. I have been working with Vista Business for a couple of weeks since I got me new Dell laptop. Have Vista home in one of my office computers. Overall I really like this operating system better the XP. But like anyhting new, yes some issues. The more I work with it the better I like the features. But I'm afraid it will be a while before some things are cleared up.
