Depends on how you define "rip off" - when trading a vehicle in the only number you should really care about is the difference you have to pay.
Ford currently has the "Family Pricing" event on right now and is a very good time to purchase, especially if you are a cash buyer.
With Family Pricing the dealers profit on new vehicles is somewhat reduced; which means that they won't show you anything more than the appropriate wholesale value for your trade.
If your car is super clean and the dealer has a market for one like it, they might offer you a bit more - but you shouldn't expect anything more than the Black Book value.
BTW ... ZX5 ST does not compute. ST model is sedan only. ZX5 is available only in SES trim.
As you may have seen in another thread, the ZX5 currently has a delivery credit of $1250 which is $500 more than ZX3/4/W.
I assume you have leather, moonroof and auto ... if this is correct, then this is the story on your car.

I have a 2004 ZTS focus around 50K on it and was wondering if I went to the Ford dealership and suggested a trade in to get .....say the zx5 st? How much do u think they would take for a trade in purchase?
I know they'd probably rip u off badly or am I wrong?
