Someone I know came into some money and wants to give me a fully loaded 08 SES Focus with a 5 speed. I read most of the posts on this forum and I see the Focus has alot of problems! I wonder if I should just tell him to sell the car instead of letting me have it. Anyone have any advise for me?

#1 it's a free car, if i was you I would not be so picky!
#2 I have an 02 with 90k on it, and it still runs and drives like the day i bought it. Usually the most inportant aspect is how the car was taken care of/maintained, that being said the first 2 years the focus was out were trouble('00 '01 this is what i have been told), after that they were a good solid car, especally the 5spd, not fast, but peppy and fun to drive, i'd go for it in a heart beat if i was you!
