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

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.

Kevin I traded in my 2022 Civic Si after a year and this is one factor. It is Sep. 24 and still no recall, just a TSB so Honda can sweep it under the rug.This plus a terrible engine/tuning, bad safety tech, missing features, and the most rattling interior I've ever heard ensured I won't be buying another Honda ever again and I've loved Honda since the 2000's. They are not the same brand, or they are the same but cars are more complicated so the cracks really show now. Either way people were also having steering issues with the 10th gen civics also and Honda ignored them. Don't buy a Honda please. Everything about my Si besides the handling felt like a beta car, not a complete product.

Jalop1991 you know, I can't help but remember the Dilbert cartoon where Dilbert commented to the janitor about how Dilbert has two cans under his desk, one for trash and one for recycling, but he's noticed that the janitor who comes around at night has only one large can. This is all smoke and mirrors. Mark my words, we will see stories down the road about place like this taking the recycling fees and dumping the batteries in a pit in some third world country.
Arthur Dailey Forget the 90`s. The cars and their names were largely forgettable. Bring back real car names. Wildcat. Riviera. Spitfire. Interceptor. Pinto (as someone else noted). Corvair. Speedwagon. Matador. Imperial. de Ville. Or even better Packard, Hudson, Studebaker, De Soto and Dusenberg. If VW can resurrect the Bugatti name, then why not?
