Confused Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Sweet! Finally a good dealership. Like I always say, if you want something bad enough, just pester the hell out of people until you get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruxGNZ Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Nice car! Like the color. Did you happen to trade in your Neon for this? !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 nope. friend of mine is buying the neon, so I get 3k back on that. Neons have no trade in value, I would've been offerred 1k for it (ignoring the fact that I just did the suspension, brakes, timing belt and water pump on it... and the mp3 stereo system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that on a Jeep I bought saved me a couple hundred in takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumo Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 You bought a Mazda Ford Focus? Just Kiddiiiiinnngg!! Congrats on the deal I have to admit Mazda did a good job with the re-designed 3 and the 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 according to my window sticker, 95% parts are from japan, and it's assembled in hiroshima next generation focus is going to be on the 3 platform. the current 2.3 focus engine doesn't have variable valve timing either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the deal I have to admit Mazda did a good job with the re-designed 3 and the 6. Well, when you consider that Ford owns Mazda.. then yes... yes he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumo Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I don't know anything about this generation of engines in the 3 but the earlier 323 and MAYBE the Protoge' was using the lower end engine block from Ford and all the upper parts were from Mazda. At least that's what i was told by a tech, but i dont really have a problem with it as long as it's not a re-skin. You know, Mitsu 3000GT- Dodge Stealth, Mitsubishi Eclipse-Chrysler Sebring coupe, Chevy S-10 - Isuzu Hombre, Ford Ranger - Mazda B series trucks Isuzu Impulse-Geo Storm and my all time favorite Toyota Corolla -late 80's early 90's Chevy Nova, Geo Prizm. I actually bought one so cheap because the "car guy" hated Domestic cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Battle Pope Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Yeah, the whole Diamond Star thing was really just the product of the automotive version of a drunken one-night stand. The 4G63t is a good engine though - but the straight mitsu version is way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003z Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Love that body style. At first I thought you got the hatch. The focus is on the same platform as the 3, just not in the USA. I've seen the current euro focus and its pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
