Go out and buy a used one* they can be had and at very good deals also. Keep in the hunt....Don't settle until you find one. You will be much much more happier. Trust me! Good luck and happy hunting!

Or be different and buy the 3 cyl 1 liter Ecoboost. I always keep an eye out for those and will definitely pick one up at some point. Can reach stock ST numbers with a little effort.

I'm also on a focus site and a lot of people are having massive engine failure with that 1.0 three cylinder. The timing belt is spun in oil and it shreds itself, and starves the motor of oil.

Interesting. I am a moderator on Fiesta Faction and there have been three maybe four failures. All were related to cooling systems failures. I also own one. I have put 76k miles on it with 35k on a tune and do not drive it easy.

Maybe the focus is harder on it? I know at least 3 people by 100,000 mi who have had their engines fail. I personally don't consider that acceptable.

You can find 2014 FiST used without Recaro seats and with some accidents on file or with high mileage for less than $10k.

Take a look at this one here in the forum for $12.5k in Perris, CA:

[tyler velarde]

thankyou holo but i dont think i want a already modified one, or a red one. that is a good price tho i think i wanna keep the suspension stock

 

[tyler velarde]

and i agree my research has scared me away from the 3 cylinder, and i think i want a light/moderate tune on the 1.6

Light and moderate Tune..hahaha..That's funny. We all say that ....Then the power hunger starts.....Then the real modding begins!

That color is always beautiful. You said you didn't want a modded one but that one has been through some things. A 10 second glances shows wing risers, altered lower front grill, and some sort of intake installed, maybe a 2JR since I can't see it.

the blue one is modded?

The one you linked to is modded.

Let see:
Plastic Grill slats for intercooler have been removed. Intercooler appears to be stock.
Added front splitter (you can see its little wings at the edge of the bumper by the wheel arches)
Added side skirts (you can see the little wings by the back wheel arches)
Added mud flaps
Added wing risers (but didnt clip the antanae so it and the wing will touch when the hatch is opened. no big deal)
Has the 2JR cowel intake (which is very loud) and thus missing stock crossover pipe and airbox
Missing engine cover panel
Original Battery
Looks to have an oil catch can (can see modified pcv hoses)

Good miles for a 2016 though. Im up around 61000 on mine. Kona blue is a great color, though the clearcoat is a bit thin.

I know it is not in your backyard but you can find a good car under 10k:

i cant believe how much fun this thing is. i just drove it home tonight, its a bone stock 2017 its very clean and very nice. trans has a bit of a clunk occasionally between low gears? anyone?
and yeah i went to go see the blue one it was heavily modified had nitto tires or whatever and the blow off valve was piped into the cabin, very obnoxious, for me at least but ya i stayed away from it. nice guys tho.
how could you guys see the intake?

It was completely missing near the battery ....plus the pipe going into the cowl only indicated 1 thing*
