I bought my faithful Focus wagon in November 2007, right here on Ebay. It has been extremely loyal, with no major issues, until now. I am somewhat mechanically inclined, but do not tackle the more complicated jobs. Through the years, the most complicated tasks I performed on my wagon were replacing the timing belt and water pump (at 120K miles), and the passenger side cv axle (at 179K miles). When I replaced the axle, I did not replace the oil seal, through which the transmission oil leaked and caused the trannie to fail. I have since replaced the seal and serviced the transmission (replaced oil and filter), hoping that would do the trick, but no luck. Replacing the trannie goes beyond my capabilities, so here's my dear wagon listed for sale. Below there's a list of items that need attention and miscellaneous wear and tear:Transmission needs replacementThere is a recent engine oil leak (see pic). I replaced the valve cover gasket last year (leaked), so I'm not sure whether the leak is coming from there again or somewhere else.The front driver seat cushion has a tear (see pic)The front passenger seat cushion has a couple of stains (see pic)There are several stains on the carpet and ceilingBoth driver side exterior door handle brackets need replacingThe engine light is on. Code P0420 (see pic)There are missing paint chips on the rear bumper and passenger side fender, minor rust on the passenger side bottom (see pic) and a bowl like depression on the roofItems I replaced just within the past year:HeadlightsTailightsFront brake pads, rotors, and wheel bearingsRear brakes and wheel bearingsValve cover gasketRack and pinionRight CV AxleAll four tiresFront passenger window regulatorBoth rear window regulatorsOne rear hatch strutLate in 2012, the car had a fender bender that compromised the right side fender and front bumper. I replaced the fender myself with a used black fender, and had a shop repaint the right side of the bumper. No damage to the frame or any components other than those already mentioned. There are no related performance, mechanic, cosmetic or other issues. As seen on pic of cargo space, there are miscellaneous new parts that will come with the vehicle: Front brake pads and rotors, oil filter, headlight, stoplight and license plate bulbs, one rear hatch strut, and one rear door exterior handle/bracket. I toyed with the idea of purchasing a remanufactured transmission and a transmission jack, but I finally accepted that the job is just a bit too large for my set of skills. I love this car, its reliability and large cargo space, but its time to let it go to someone with more mechanical skill. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!On Apr-05-15 at 09:45:08 PDT, seller added the following information: There are a couple of dings on the good and hatch door that I didn't originally mention. It's hard to capture them on pics, but I attached them below none the less. On Apr-05-15 at 10:02:50 PDT, seller added the following information:
