Well, if you can list a 2500 dollar 1990 civic, I suppose I can list what I just bought last month.
2005 focus ZX3 5 speed. 82K.
Sunroof, looks nearly new on the outside, like new on the inside. Drives like a brand new car and I am not exaggerating. The best part is underneath, it is 100% rust free.
It has a rebuild title, which, I suspect may mean it was a flood car. A title search says it began life in MD. Around 2009, it got the rebuilt title with about 50K on it.Has been in new england since.
The rebuilt title makes it a bit of a crap shoot, but, what used car isn't? And the amazing lack of rust was enough to make me pull the trigger.
I am about 3K miles in. Just a touch under 39 mpg so far with sensible driving and mild hypermiling. Pretty sure I could hit 50 with some mods and more serious hypermiling.
And the best part is, it is actually a blast to drive. More than ample power and doesn't feel like you are driving a skateboard.
