6k cdn = appx 4k usd

we are just different people

i would get a 1994 Sentra SE-R for 3300 before i would get a 2001 focus SE any day.

i've seen them with low mileage engine and tranny swapped in for that price. those engines are bulletproof and will run forever

there are also many mid 90s 5spd maximas for less than 4k usd

even if you got a japanese car with 120000 km on the motor and tranny.. it will go to 300000km easy if its well maintained.. besides the focus isn't exactly super ultra reliable itself.. it will probably go into the shop more than the mid 90s japanese car

just those two cars.. the SE-R i think is a more capable car for motorsport.. bulletproof engine, LSD trans, lighter.. the maxima has more features, more everything.. both of those cars have great motors.. the SR20DE and the VQ30DE are workhorses...

if you shopped well you can get some nice hardware for 4k usd

there are also tons of old subarus for less than 4k usd.

so yea even for 6k cdn i think the focus a 'good' car.. but definitely NOT the best
