This car will be a car that we will travel back and forth to work from our new location in Guelph. And yes, I do have to go to the States to get both cars.

The Milan, if you are unfamiliar with it. And the Milan would be used if I could find a decent one in about 12 months+ time.





And the Focus I am looking at......no pics at this time
I know it has been suggested many times to get the Competition Orange, but I can't seem to convince the wife of that. Maybe if she saw one in person.

This car also has gotten a few bolt-on's as I came across them:

I will also include some extra/stock parts that I have lying around:
-Factory Coil/Wires(3k on them)
-Factory Crank Pulley
-2 Qts Ford Tranny Fluid
-2 extra Proxes 4's(one w/ 50% and the other w/ 75%)

As for maintenance, I replaced all 4 Rotors & Pads(Mintex) with those from Batinc.net, the Mintex are more rotor-friendly, wheel-finish friendly and are more than aggressive enough for everyday driving. The car has never been Auto-x'd or Road-Raced, on occasion it has been driven with spirit, but has never been overly-abused. I also gave the car a 4-wheel alignment when the new tires were put on.
The car has the normal paint chips on the hood from small stones and whatnot from highway driving, there are no more that about 4-5 chips. There is also a small scuff on the left rear on the bumper cover where someone rubbed me pulling into a parking spot, it can be easily buffed out. Bodywork isn't one of my strong points so I left it alone.
As for the SVT-specific issues, the YRFO reflash was done about a year ago, what a difference. This car never had the battery-flicker, or stalling when coming to a stop with the RLA6. The issues it did fix were the dead spot between 3k-5krpm, mid-shift engine flare and the late intake manifold opening(now at about 5200rpm). The car also received the updated shifter base and cables from the dealer after a quick shift to fourth yielded a broken selector cable-end. All was replaced and has been fine since.
-I am looking to get about $13,000.
