Hello Everyone!
I'm James. I have been a Ford owner a long as I have been driving. Im a Moderator on a few Ford Focus forums. and I've been casually looking to replace my 04 Focus that has been on winter duty for a while now. A few weeks ago she developed a misfire, no big deal. But it got me to realize that with 188K on the clock I had no desire to keep putting money into her to keep fixing all the little problems that pop up. The car has never had a major issue, it left me stranded once when the ignition cylinder locked up and that's really been it.
So after 10 years, 4 months, and 6 days of ownership and some 161,000ish miles of driving, I traded in my focus on a used 2011 Ford Edge SEL AWD. The extra space and AWD will be a welcome addition this winter.
Here is my focus in its hayday when I lived in Arizona, I miss her already.
And the new addition!
I also have a 2012 Ford Focus SE, Painted in Yellow Blaze which Ford only painted in 2012 on the Focus.
I've spend some time looking around the site so far, mostly about putting in a remote start. From what I gather I only need:
100 Series Plug and Play, Part# BC3Z-19G364-A
Hood Switch Kit, Part# BT4Z-19G366-A
And a trip to the dealer to get it turned on and keys cut, Is my information correct? Thanks in advance!
