Well, sold the focus, this would be #3 focus. It was a very quick sale and bc of that its making it a little hard for me to decide what i want to do.
As some of you know i recently got my HID's and spend over 1K for them. So I wanted my next car to be a ZX5, 03-04 so i could still use the HID's. problem is that I can't find any. I know there are tons of it in the Auctions, but not for the price that i'm willing to buy :)
So what do I do, Do i get a ZTW? ZTS? or should i put my foot down for a ZX5 and wait for a bit. I'm looking for a 03-04 ZX5 Auto, its very common but as i said its hard to find one at a very low price in good condition.
or should I just sell the the HID's and get a different car all together. :(

That's the think Nik, I dont want to sell the HID's. had to freaking pay over 1K US by the time i got them. I don't want to sell less then 800 if i did. But as i said, i don't want to. That wold be the last possible option in this planet :)

thing you should think of first about the focus is this:
what do I need it for?, and what do I plan on using it for? how often do I need the cargo area? is my or will my family be growing?
answer those questions and you'll knowq what you'll need.

As for yours, sorry, As i said before my dad owns a dealership and I want to get a car similar to that but I dont want to pay that much:) i know its hard, but lets see :) The one i'm looking at is an 03 with 127K's and its ZTW with MR.

There a quite a few ZX 5's on Autotrader. With a ZX 5, you have less storage when the back seats are in use though.

mo it seems like you go through cars fairly quickly maybe leasing makes sense for you. i vote for selling the HIDs and leasing another vehicle. seems like you want a hatch/wagon and HIDs.. the GTI comes with HIDs from the factory.. mazdaspeed3 does also. or if you wanted to step it up get a A4 avant or a 328 wagon
on an off topic note.. i miss HIDs too

No mo!! Don't settle for something you dont really want, otherwise you will kick yourself everytime you see a zx5 drive by.. Just wait it out, I had to wait too but it was Sooo worth it!!! just keep an eye out as I'm sure you already do! :P
and... why over $1k for HID's???!!!

Here's the thing mo,
If you're absolutely dead set on not taking a bath on the HID's that you bought, you've painted yourself into a corner because those lights will only fit a certain range of Focus.
Be patient, you'll find the car you want I'm sure :)

yeah i think a ZTW wont be that bad after all. I get more storage and i guess i will probably get tired of it in 6 months anyways.
Just to clerify one thing guys, my father owns a dealership. I dont loose money on cars. Hence why i buy so many cars. I usually come out even at the end. With leasing I know i will loose money at the end.
Thanks for all the help. I guess i'll find out what will happen this week.

When i was toying with the idea of buying another car that thought came to mind. Talk about a sleeper. Would definately be wicked original.
