Chevy Cobalt vs. Ford Focus

Re: focus v cobalt [mosfetman]

Written by: ljonk on Sep 15, 2008 02:20 AM

Your Cobalt is a 2008, what was your Ranger. Was it used when you got it? Wait a while and your Cobalt will start coming apart. Check out Consumer reports which doesn't listen to any of this biased stuff we all write. They don't take money from advertisers (Ford or Chevy) and just report statistics. They show the absolute best and the absolute worst used cars (cars ... Read More...

The Focus is no longer a 5,000 of sticker car. How can Ford's best seller next to the Escape Hybrid be a massive discounted car. I know a little bit about the current pricing of the Focus and all Ford cars right now. Here's an example of the best deal possible without the dealer losing money on the car..... 2008 Focus SE auto, SYNC, 6cd, ambient lighting, 4dr: msrp 18,590 ... Read More...

Ford Focus: MPG-Real World Numbers

Update on 2005 Ford Focust ST at 65,000 miles

Written by: basiliskst on Aug 04, 2008 10:20 AM

I previously reported mileage after about 2,000 miles of experience with my used 2005 Ford Focus and 27,000 total miles. At that time I was getting about 27 MPG. Now with 65,000 on the clock, it is time to update that report. It's all good. Over the 40,000 miles of driving, I'm averaging slightly better than 30 MPG. The ST is still rock solid and a joy to drive. I decided ... Read More...

The 2008 Ford Focus is a wonderfull car! in fact, my wife and I liked it so much we each got a fully loaded "SES"! (SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO SHARE) the fit and finish is great! No squeaks rattles or bangs to be heard. Ford did lie a little about the fuel mileage though.... the 08 Focus is rated at 35MPG but both my wife and I get 38-40MPG on ours!. The heated leather seats are comfy ... Read More...

Hello, I was quoted on a 2008 Ford Focus SE Sedan with Auto Transmission. It has ABS, Sync, Driver's Package, Ambient Lighting, and all the options that come standard with the SE. The dealership said the MRSP on the car is 18,175 but that they would sell it for $15,308. I do not believe this includes taxes but does include the destination charges. Do you think this ...

A well optioned 08 Focus Ses or equivalent, msrp 18500 or so barely has a trade in value (07) used of 11000. (look up a used 07 on kbb.com) This is what your new 08 will be worth in 12 months. A useful target on a loaded one is about 13000+ or less. A base with auto around 11000 or less. 5000+ off msrp has not been uncommon on the Focus in the late summer for the last few years. ...
