just make shure u check it well regarding rust.
and with that said....ALL cars rust.
when they "dont" rust..its all a matter of the car have been pampered more than the others...so its very much possible finding a Ford or any other make that has less to zero rust on it
My focus Rs mk1 is as rust free as they come i would say.
You are welcome to check out my "resto thread" on the car...and the link is in my signature
Anyways..the focus rs mk1 is one hell of a car,and ive been into Cosworths all my "drivers license life"...and i really do not miss the cosworths for one bit...though i would gladly like to have one more cosworth later on..but the focus Rs mk1 drives sooo well..and the car itself have the proper Ford rally legacy built into it..so its a perfect RS for me
I think you would enjoy it very much.
