i found an svt focus at a dealer in the bay for roughly $13k..has 46k miles, sonic blue, 6spd, etc....good deal? yay or nay?

Get a honda for a commuter. Save the money you would have spent for the SVT focus. Might be an SVT but it is still a focus

If it's the one from Swanson Ford... No. I've already turned it down. The salesman told me flat out 'Oh we had to do SO much work to get it to pass for sale', after I asked why they wanted 2G's more than KBB. *adding* Not to mention that it was paint chipped to hell & the inside had scratches all over it. The shift knob, the e-brake, ect.

Honda(s) aren't bad. Great gas milage and the new ones are nice. Good Commuter! Like the CBR954! I would roll a honda!

i have excellent credit, well over 740 score and I found that ebay was only offering me a 9.49% fixed APR when I was looking for cars through them. You can find dealerships that will go, as low as i've seen, 4.2%. Go with a dealership APR in my opinion.
