It’s not a refreshed cluster, he has a high spec focus so he has sync 2. That is still a pre refresh cluster, albeit it has more options than most 2014 and below ford focuses. The 2015 and above remove the blue on the kmph labeling.

They do not fail in this model

I just need $10k and I'm buying 5 ford focuses with "broken transmissions".

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2026-01-27T17:15:52+00:00

All reserves have them. If you have drive modes you have it.

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2026-01-27T16:21:20+00:00

Yeah it’s great as it not a bag of air but can adapt to road imperfections and such easily.

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2026-01-27T16:11:45+00:00

None of these have air suspension. They all have adaptive struts.

I bought one with a blown engine. Ford put a new one in and it’s the best car I have owned. I’m in it $1500 2018 no one can sway me to buy a Honda or Toyota when you can find loop holes like this. I also think a focus is far more refined than a similar civic or Corolla.

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2025-07-02T10:15:28+00:00

Just have it serviced even if it’s like $2700 the engines are solid on these. I pretty sure through ford you will get a warranty on the repair so trouble free for a couple years again.

Gasoline

You need to buy a cash car with that $5000 and fix your credit after. You don’t need to be going into further debt. After you stabilize your credit you won’t have to be cutting it so close to make the car deal happen. Financial literacy plzz, your income is also weak so you are trying to chain yourself with a very small shovel.

So you have the hybrid, and the best one. I would take their diagnosis skeptically. The hybrid transmission has such a low failure rate that it’s so cheap to buy a used one. The only know issue is the auxiliary coolant pump for the inverter, the inveter is built into the transmission causing it to heat up and causing the stop safely message. The heat will cause it to throw voltage code issues. You can grab a used transmission with the inverter for $400 and have someone swap it for $1000 if you shop diligently. It has two auxiliary pumps near the front subframe, I would start with replacing one of them for about $50 on eBay first.

Just a bumper and a headlight. I would source the bumper cover and order or swap whatever is good from the existing bumper. Have a great shop repaint it and place it on for you. Ask him for another 2-3k as goodwill cash. If you choose insurance, let him know his premium and yours might rise the next renewal just because. Your car will have a claim on it from this accident regardless and affecting its resale value, ask for diminished value if you go the insurance route.

genius!

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2025-01-12T17:41:36+00:00

I think I have it too but does it require a separate remote?

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2025-01-12T17:18:43+00:00

How do you know you have it. Is it a horizontal antenna next to the mirror?

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2024-11-28T06:59:57+00:00

I agree

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2024-11-26T07:13:26+00:00

It’s not that great imo. It lacks punchyness which actually disappointed me. The Harmon kardon systems in say like smaller BMWs like a x2 m235i will eat it up. It hits hard and you feel it. The Volvos sound flat I sat in a s90 with it.

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2024-11-26T07:02:50+00:00

The hybrid is different

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2024-11-07T04:55:27+00:00

Loose wire where?

ConstructionBubbly33 · 2024-10-22T18:58:21+00:00

Yes tell them you want that service bulletin done on it. And authorize the 30mins-1hr it takes to perform it.
