It has a little over 84,000 miles. It was a good deal for the car, but a little more than I wanted to spend. Unfortunately, Anything under $2500 in the cleveland area is like swiss cheese when it comes to rust and this one was fairly clean so I figured It's better not to have to deal with rust repair. Plus, the interior is absolutely spotless. The only flaw is that the carpet is worn where the drivers feet sit because the person never got floor mats. Good news is that we have a lot of junkyards here in cleveland so I should be able to find parts for cheap when I need them.

The focus is definitely a good car. For a small car, it feels very high up and there aren't many blind spots. The manual transmission is smooth as butter and the handling is great. Probably one of the better cars made in the past decade.
