Hi! Welcome to FocusCanada!
I'd say an extended warranty on AT LEAST the powertrain is advisable if the car is a 2000. The fact it has an intake, exhaust, and probably a few other bolt-ons doesn't make it a bad purchase, but it does make getting a warranty a smart choice yet again.
The mileage is reasonable, really. I would personally ask for a full drivetrain and steering gear inspection before signing anything. Have them check the clutch, shift linkages, etc. As for the steering gear, have the steering linkages inspected, ball joints, so on and so forth.
I'm mentioning all of this because it's in your best interest to be prepared. :)
Once again, welcome :)
Oh, and Sangria Red is a pimp colour. It raises the coolness factor of any Focus 5X over. :D
