At least it's an easy job to remove the S badge and find some twist wheels. It also has RUF CF steering wheels, and look lowered.
A good PPI is always strongly recommended.

To close the loop on the GTI I posted about a friend looking at. There were a few red flags with the car. It might have been fine but the communication with the seller was weird, they were not forthcoming about anything.
Went another direction and picked up this 2014 Focus ST, it ticked all the boxes: low km, service records, spotless carproof report, ST3 trim package (every single option available), it came with a set of brand new Nokian Hakka R2 winter tires on rims as well as summer tires on the stock rims. It really needs to be detailed, it was not cleaned up for the sale but the price came down because of that. https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/pml/...418168060.html 
Ford Focus ST - $18000 (Pitt Meadows)
2014 Ford Focus ST
Car is in mint condition with only 48k km. The ST comes loaded with every option including navigation. I will also include 4 brand new snow tires. No accidents, clear title, all service records available and up to date.

Fake? Or does being rebuilt really hurt it that much? 2016 RS for $33,900 https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/...477197287.html

icbc said..too expensive to fix and paid the car out. somebody bought it on the cheap, put it back together (with wrong parts, minus 1 lugnut) and got it inspected. When its getting inspected its for safety, not if its got the right parts on it.
now they're flipping it for profit.

I don’t know about ‘all the wrong parts’ but a bill for $4900 on a car that cost $51,000 would not make it a rebuilt. So obviously lying

How extensive is this "wrong parts" list? Did they put in an ST engine or something?

The only things I noticed were missing lug nuts and a windshield from the wrong focus (not an RS) but there weren’t many photos in the ad. Maybe someone on here went to look at it?
