As some know here, I moved from Canada to Estonia last week and have been busy car shopping. I took delivery yesterday afternoon of a 2007 Focus Ghia stationwagon, colour is Panther Black exterior, interior is ebony/dark flint, engine is 1.6l TI-VCT mated with 5 speed manual. Being end of the year the choice of colours trim levels are very limited. Ghia spec the colour choices were Panther Black or Silver. Not being a fan of silver, black it has to be. Oh well I enjoy keeping a clean vehicle and this will be a good test of my detailing skills.
Again some on this forum know I have a 2002 Focus wagon here in Tallinn and I was planning on trading it in, but I the price on the road on this new Focus was much better then I had expected, so I have decided to keep this car for a couple more years.
I have a very hard time posting images here, śo was hoping maybe wing or someone wouldn't mind if I emailed some pics, and they could post on here for me.
I will bore you with the mile long list of equipment and extras and on the road price in Canadian dollars. The listed on the road price was 26,000.00, which includes all taxes/fees and registration, 2 year unlimited mileage warranty, with the option of adding extended warranty of 3 years 100,000km (500.00) or 4 years 160,000km (800.00). I have up to 1 year to add the extended warranties, which I am sure I will do. The final on the road price I paid was 22,268.00CAD.
(And Ford of America uses the excuse the C1 Focus would be too expensive for North American market).
