What you should do is look for one of them specials where they offer you $2000 for your trade, regardless of condition. Usually those are on new cars, but it is my opinion that buying NEW is better anyways. You'll have a nice warranty, plus there are so many incentives out right now you're good. If you get a '04 Focus, you get $3000 cash back.. and they start at around $13. You can get a better financing rate/term, and a warranty.
