SOLD. Mods, please feel free to lock or delete. For Sale: 2013 Ford Focus ST, Tuxedo Black over black/grey cloth, ST1 trim, fully GS prepared: $13,000 OBO takes the lot. Location: Wake Forest, NC. Summary: My wife found a job, hooray! But I'd still like to try something else this year. So, I've dropped my asking price for the car as a package, so I can This is a complete, turn-key package if you want to autocross in G-Street. Keep in mind that a 2013 is the only Focus ST for which you can readily buy aftermarket front struts, legally, for GS. And I've already bought them and had them revalved for you! For autocross purposes, the only things left on the table are a lighter-weight, but not street friendly, exhaust, and perhaps some even lighter 17x8 wheels. It's also a great daily driver and family trip car. The shocks ride a little hard over undulations, but the base seats are great, the AC is great, and I've made several subtle modifications to make it a more enjoyable street car. I won GS at the 2017 Dixie Championship Tour in this car, and at our large-ish local events, it's usually at the sharp end of the PAX standings...and that's with me driving it! It's a fast, well sorted car. Aside from the factory exhaust, I have the original parts for everything that's been modified. Reason for sale: I'd like to run an SSC car this year. In order to do this, I need to first sell the Focus. History: I bought the car used, from Asheboro Ford, I think with about 13K miles on it, in February of 2015. Soon thereafter, I had the motor mount TSB performed there, to upgrade to the Focus Electric motor mounts. The car has never been in an accident - I've verified this myself with a paint meter. The car weighed about 3040 on the scales at Dixie in 2016, with 1/4 tank of gas and all the trunk stuff removed. This is an ST1, so it's got the base seats and no sunroof. And being an early build 2013, it's got the "small" front brakes. It's probably the lightest Focus ST you'll find. Pretty quickly the autocross mods started, but I'd say I've done less than 30 autocrosses in this car. Problems:
Autocross stuff:
Non-performance modifications:
Maintenance performed:
Pictures: I have a bunch of pictures of this car, but not all are uploaded to Flickr. Here's a teaser. At the 2015 Wilmington Pro (photo by autoxpix): The paint is in pretty incredible shape: Mountune exhaust: Fancy shift knob: Volvo spare tire conversion: Questions? I'm an open book when it comes to my cars, so ask away. This is one of those cars that I'll probably look back on and regret selling. It's the only car I've ever had any national level success in, but three years is a long time for me to keep a car, and SSC beckons. |

This is now for sale again, with a bigly reduced asking price. I'd like to get a twin (Scion FR-S or Subaru BR-Z) to build for SSC this year, and that means this car needs to be sold. Wanted to give this one more shot before trading it in, which would be a shame. |
