I found this add. I flagged this post once and it came back. He's trying to advertise this as an SVT when the only things SVT about it are aftermarket,like the EAP wheels and mach headlights. Also has an SVT grille. He's not asking a lot but for someone who doesn't know any better will still feel ripped off when he finds out it's a ZX3 I'm probably going to email this guy.

I flagged it and emailed him.

tjw05 · 11-03-2009, 09:15 PM

Looks like he edited the ad...

djo90 · 11-04-2009, 02:21 AM

ya he changed it to not say SVT lol. I wonder if he was upset about it

gregor_42 · 11-04-2009, 07:30 AM

Thats good I know I would be pissed if found out after that it wasnt....but then again id feel even more retarded if didnt look at it first before buying it to find out lol

Yocrew · 11-04-2009, 08:52 AM

He emailed me back asking how I knew it wasn't an SVT. He really thought it was one cus it said it on the wheels.

djo90 · 11-04-2009, 02:15 PM

ya just send him a link of the SVT which I'm sure you did. when I first saw it i looked at the fascias and color which wasn't offered then the 5spd. even my DSM friend knew it wasn't by looking at it!

dcwte85 · 11-04-2009, 05:08 PM

wow. what a tard... i bet the guy that sold it to him said it was an SVT...

dcwte85, I like the picture in your little member information box thingy (what's that called?). I've already contacted PETA. Agents are being dispatched as I type.

"Economical 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 2dr Hatchback" is what the ad reads now. And it doesn't mention the word SVT in the ad as well.

Most likely an honest mistake. I'm sure 9 out of 10 people would see the wheels and HIDs and think the same thing.
