ive probably seen about 2 or 3 focus' without a/c come through my dealership.

there were lots with abs...I would say almost a 50/50 mix, or if anything more with abs than without, during that recall period. The only difference between the two kits was that the ABS had the little magnetic sensor ring included in the kit.

there was also a different recall kit for the disc brake focus, but I never had to do one of these...that was probably the 5% you are talking about.

we just sold a brand new 2004 bare bones 4 door from my dealer a few months ago, no options on it at all! not even A/C! it even had a tape deck and no CD player! It sold for about $11,300 if anyone was curious...not bad for a brand new car!

Now that you mention it, it was disk brakes that I was thinking of. In our shop it was still not very common for ABS. I would guess as you get farther north abs becomes more comon and AC becomes less common.
