I felt that $4000 was a fair trade in, considering that I paid $4000 for the car with 46k on it after the $1500 trade in of my 88 bmw. So, after putting over 21k and seven months of hardcore abuse, I felt that I got a fair deal. With the exception of gas, tires, and the brake job I did on it, I didn't put much into it. The Focus is pretty nice, I like how small and tossable it is. I've always had a soft spot for hatchbacks, my first car was an 89 Integra 3 door. My biggest complaint was that we never saw the mondeo hatchback on our shores. I just like how the hatchback has sport and utility in such a small package.
I traded the car in at Walker Ford in Clearwater, Florida. The Florida used car market is even weirder than most anywhere else with so many cars coming in from the rest of the country.
