Yes, the focus is a good car, but on 1200 I would expect a problem car, bottom of the barrell stuff.
spotted this but the front drivers wheel looks very iffy on both pictures of it???

I saw that last week, didnt notice the front drivers wheel until pointed out now, looks like its got some camber on it for some reason

they are only ford wheels so should sit fine
By the way for £1200 or less a mk3 golf gti might be abit ropey, very tidy ones can go for more like £1500.
I got 1400 for my p reg 16v in reasonable nick, with 140k
