A 2000 Focus depending on the mileage will command about $4000. Things too watch for, wheel bearings, brakes, ignition switch, numerous recalls including important ones like the rear coil springs, a campaign on the fuel pump. They are hard on tires, especially the rear, frequent rotation is a must as well as a wheel alignment. A kit is available for the rear suspension that basically eliminate the excessive wear. The engines are very good, not the best on fuel but not that bad either. Parts can be expensive, more than imports in some cases! Insurance rates are fair. Considering newer like an 03 would be better, or consider something else.
