Grabber Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Tanabanana / Mrs. Grabber got a new 2013 Ford Focus with the fully loaded Titanium Package. The White Platinum Metalic Tri-coat looks very classy with the Black Leather interior. The Titanium Handling package came with the bigger 18" wheels and Low Profile Performance tires. It has a 6 speed automatic Power Shift Transmission with select shift capability. The computer gadgets are incredible. Sync, Nav. Parking assist, back up camera and safety alert sensors. The lighting , heated seats, power moon roof, 10 speaker stereo with shaker and the list goes on and on a page long of options. Sweet time to buy a car too. $2,895 in customer rebates on this car and 2 years free oil changes and service. I paid invoice - $26,650 Plus $250 for the PDI and handling fees. Minus the rebates = $24,005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseygator Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Sweet! I was trying to talk Jodene into one. She complained it was too small. I loved it!! I'm thinking of trading in the Jeep on the Focus ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Sweet! I was trying to talk Jodene into one. She complained it was too small. I loved it!! I'm thinking of trading in the Jeep on the Focus ST. Tana & I test drove the Focus ST. Nice car indeed. I told her she could have it if she wanted it. She parked them side by side and hemmed and hawed over it for 20 minutes. It came down to the fact that the Titanium was a automatic transmission and was so loaded with bells and whistles that she said she wanted it as her daily driver. She said that she already has a performance car that was faster than the ST anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_KR Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Congrats Rob & Tana. My company vehicle (2006 Mountaineer) is getting a little long on the tooth (135k) and I'm really thinking of getting into a car...Ford has done a spectacular job with this car, and it is getting strong consideration from me... One thing in closing....step away from the fenders, no stripes there Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing in closing....step away from the fenders, no stripes there Robbie Thanks. Today I washed the car and used my buffer to apply a coat of exterior paint sealant on the Focus. You really get to know the car when you do this detail process...as you know. The fit and finish of this car is amazing. The quality is very very good and I am impressed. The doors are rock solid. When you shut the doors it just feels tight and strong. We are looking forward to getting some good gas mileage in this car too. It is rated at 38 MPG on the freeway if you baby it. We got a lot of car for $24K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Nice! Makes me think Ford is really going to do fight with the next Mustang. I'm hoping to buy one of those as my DD! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyKR664 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 This is why I am a Ford stock owner. What a world class car at a really great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 SWEET. How do you like the 6 Speed Auto? My last Two Mustangs were 5 Speed Autos and I hated it. Took to long to kick into passing gear and if you were going at a slow speed, it seemed like the Computer didn't know what Gear to be in. Dodge is talking about a new 8 Speed Auto.

JeffJ Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Very nice Grabber! I have been fighting getting a new Focus for a daily driver to replace my current 2002 SVT Focus, but I'm going to hopefully get it to survive for a bit over another year and get a new 2015 V-6 Mustang to replace it. I have driven a couple new Focus' and really like them alot!! The interiors are amazing compared to the past. It really is nothing like the Focus of the past. Specially the one you got. That interior is amazing! The products used and quality are the best I've ever seen come out of Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Nice Rob and Tana...did you get rid of the Escape? Alex Yes......we had it for 6-1/2 years. My Fleet guy gave me top dollar for it.....10K. He said he has never seen a nicer used car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 This is why I am a Ford stock owner. What a world class car at a really great price. This is the most car I have ever bought for the money....HANDS DOWN !!! When I think of ford Focus...I think of bare bones rental cars. That is NOT the case with this car at all !!! Very classy and comfortable with lots of luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJN Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Congats love the new Focus. I had one as a lonner from my dealership and did not want to let it go. It put my 09 to shame. Beautiful car you added! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildAzCat Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Congrats. We have a 2012 that we bought for my soon to drive son. It's fun to drive and has a little pep to it. I really like the look of the new front end. Very sporty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi Rob Looks really nice ,just curious did you look at the new c-max. Roger We did not look at cars that were priced over 30K. I can't afford that. If I can't pay cash for something...I do not buy it. That is how I continue to remain debt free. Totally debt free ! Hit that sweet spot 2 years ago and it took 9 years to get there. Anyone can take out loans and buy expensive cars....but it takes discipline to save up and pay cash. http://www.daveramsey.com/article/get-out-of-debt-with-the-debt-snowball-plan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IngotSilverSnake Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Nice car. I asked my wife if she wanted one and she laughed at me. Ended up getting her a new BMW 328i. Got to admit that it truly is the "ultimate driving machine." Fit and finish, power, handling are awesome. Price --- not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt350lp Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I had one on Kauai for a week and I loved it....The only thing (for me) was to take out the two rear headrests out. You can see a lot better....Congrats...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
