Used Car of the Day: 2014 Ford Focus ST

by Tim Healey

Published: July 17th, 2023

Today's used car of the day is a 2014 Ford Focus ST that asks $14,500 and is based in Oregon.

The car is on its second owner and has a clean title. The seller says it has never been in an accident, though a body panel was replaced after a minor incident with a mailbox. So, too, was a mirror.

There are 71,000 miles on the clock.

Mods are plenty and include a cold air intake, LED headlamps, JBL subwoofer and amp, and a custom-wired radar detector.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I reiterate what others said here, this worthless model was GARBAGE from new.

THIS worthless specimen is TEN YEARS OLD AND HAS 71000 miles.

By what LAUGHABLE stretch of imagination does its delusional owner ask for... $14,500????????

You can get a 10 year old MAGNIFICENT 7 or, even better, an S CLASS, for that kind of devalued, idiot Joe Biden dollars.

SO, surprise surprise.

TiM did it again! He found the LOUSIEST< PRICIEST, WORST Deal foe the prospective buyer.

WHY, TIM????

WHY are you so DOGGEDLY AGAINST FINDING SOMETHING THAT IS A BARGAIN FOR THE BUYER< NOT THE SELLER??????

Thats a lot of money for an unreliable lawn ornament. I’d take the Ford over some POS Mercedes.

Peter Buying an EV from Toyota is like buying a Bible from Donald Trump. Don’t be surprised if some very important parts are left out.
Sheila I have a 2016 Kia Sorento that just threw a rod out of the engine case. Filed a claim for new engine and was denied…..due to a loop hole that was included in the Class Action Engine Settlement so Hyundai and Kia would be able to deny a large percentage of cars with prematurely failed engines. It’s called the KSDS Improvement Campaign. Ever hear of such a thing? It’s not even a Recall, although they know these engines are very dangerous. As unknowing consumers load themselves and kids in them everyday. Are their any new Class Action Lawsuits that anyone knows of?
Alan Well, it will take 30 years to fix Nissan up after the Renault Alliance reduced Nissan to a paltry mess.I think Nissan will eventually improve.
Alan This will be overpriced for what it offers.I think the "Western" auto manufacturers rip off the consumer with the Thai and Chinese made vehicles.A Chinese made Model 3 in Australia is over $70k AUD(for 1995 $45k USD) which is far more expensive than a similar Chinesium EV of equal or better quality and loaded with goodies.Chinese pickups are $20k to $30k cheaper than Thai built pickups from Ford and the Japanese brands. Who's ripping who off?
Alan Years ago Jack Baruth held a "competition" for a piece from the B&B on the oddest pickup story (or something like that). I think 5 people were awarded the prizes.I never received mine, something about being in Australia. If TTAC is global how do you offer prizes to those overseas or are we omitted on the sly from competing?In the end I lost significant respect for Baruth.
