    Sold my BMW for a Ford

    Well guys it was a long time coming, but a great employee lease program and the need for better miles per gallon has made me trade in my car and get something a little different. Here's what I traded in:


    And I nabbed this little guy up:




    I got 1750 for my e38 and it was definitely a good amount in comparison to what I was expecting. Leasing the Focus for $150 a month for 2 years and 12.5k a year. It's nice to have a cheap reliable daily so I can have the fun with my e30 I've been wanting to.

          Can't go wrong for that price. Seems like a smart choice to me!

          I was worried this thread was about the Henna...

                  Those ST's are pretty bad, definitely a fun little car if it's going to be your only entertaining car.

                  I would of had to have got a shelby for me to even consider doing that lol. Now the Henna can stay off daily duty and if I break something driving it hard I'm not stuck.

                      Has there ever been a bad Focus? I don't think so.

                                      Sadly the special on those sucks and I don't need another sporty turbo car when I already got my e30 for that. the only thing I would have probably done is put the ST seats in my e30 ;D

                                          Those ST seats are really comfortable. Why not just get a Fiesta ST?

                                                  Good. I was starting to think you were going crazy and getting rid of the E30.

                                                      Ford doesn't give good deals on the ST cars and they're squirley on the highway. My biggest thing was an easy/cheap daily. I have the fun 500hp e30 when it's time to have fun. If anyone wants to come beat up an ST shoot me a pm and we'll go for a drive. Or a GT for that matter.
