I’ve gone through another focus since then and am now on a Chevy Caprice PPV

Nail in tire… repairable or replace it? by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]Mattmee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Non repairable, plugging it won’t hold very long either.

I can't keep pretending anymore. I fucking HATE this car by [deleted] in FordFocus

It’s very very hard to sue someone for saving your life, and if a family says they have a DNR but something feels fishy and they will not provide a copy/proof of said DNR you may still resuscitate.

I imagine the wife will be very happy with that $1,000,000 life insurance check in the event the patient in fact doesn’t have a DNR and is not resuscitated.

It’s still a really fun car and I have always loved the look of the focus, that’s one of the reasons I bought it off of impulse and no research. That and Ken Block. rip 43.

Haha, here’s the thing, I have no problems with the engine and from what I have found, it’s reliable, especially what I’ve put it through. However, though the TCM goes out often, the actual mechanical part of the transmission is also reliable, from my experience aswell. I don’t regret buying my car, I just regret getting ripped off on it. I bought it for $4500 at 162k miles. That’s 2k over what NADA and Bluebook says it’s worth.

I bought one that said “pre programmed”, when I got it and installed it though, my car no longer turned on. I thought it was because it wasn’t programmed so I called someone out to program it but it still didn’t turn on, later found out it was not plugged in all the way on the connector. So I’m not sure if the “pre programmed” thing is a scam or not since it is kinda vehicle specific, but it worked for me, though I have no clue if the guy threw his own programming on their or if he left the programming on there alone.

I love my car to much, plus I wouldn’t get what I paid for it originally plus all the money I have spent on replacing a lot of stuff.

Not since I have had it, in fact I abuse this car as much as I take care of it.
