2003 Ford Focus SVT EAP, 117k miles, 6spd, heated Recaros, adult owned, $3999

Up for sale today is our Ford Focus SVT EAP, only 222 were made in this particular combo for 2003.

The Focus stands for a great driving small, safe car. You see them on the road everywhere. What most drivers don't know is the Focus is very comparable to drivers cars which cost much more.

The SVT stands for Special Vehicle Team. Only a select few Ford models get the full on SVT treatment. This is one of them. 2L 170hp 4cyl, Getrag 6spd manual trans, unique body work, leather, bigger brakes, 17" wheels, nice sound system, fancy pants suspension.

The EAP stands for European Appearance Package. Basically this all the options you could've had with leather covered Recaro seats. Contains Cold Weather Package (trac control, heated front seats, block heater, also moon roof).

Our adult owned Focus SVT has had much work done to it to get it up to speed for my wife and her work commute. We bought it with ~111k miles this spring and I proceeded to do the following:
- Full timing belt kit with idlers and tensioners @ 112.5k
- Accessory belt with idlers and tensioners
- Cabin air filter
- Clean K&N air filter
- Drained trans fluid, filled with Royal Purple
- 2 synthetic oil and filter changes. Used Liqui Moly Ceratec additive. Great stuff
- Removed the broken header heat shield, wrapped headers
- Spark plugs, valve cover gasket
- New interior carpet
- New O2 sensors
- New high flow cat and flex pipe
- Painted brake calipers since brown is not a great color for calipers
- Car came with performance spark wires, distributor, coil, throttle body, Optima red top battery
- AC works great as does the heat

Only have ever have filled with 91oct. Car runs great, would not hesitate to drive to Wyoming today like I already did this summer! No CELs, no issues related to the car driving down the road.











Issues:
- There is some body maladies present, nothing structural
- Needs 2 new tires before the snow flies
- The instrument cluster fades in and out when illuminated, very common SVT cluster issue, bad design

I would love to keep this car for the remainder of its life, its reliable, fun to drive, and efficient. I maintained this car to be ready for my wife not to get stranded. Perfecto car for your first young person driver or a fun, able commuter. Please email, text, call with any questions. You will not be disappointed with this car!

 

The car will be vacuumed out before you drive off and a full tank of 91 awaits your drive home.

 

Under-appreciated car IMHO, nice! Is the body damage what's shown in the last pic, any more info? GLWS

 

Clean title, but it looks like the car swiped something. Front bumper is the worst of it, scratch on the passenger side, rear bumper bumped. I guess we just concentrated on the mechanics and not the body stuff.

 

Mechanics > looks any day of the week

 

more pictures of the swiped side?

 

Sad to see it go, but this is sold to a guy via CL. Thanks for the interest. Lock 'er up.
