Bye Bye 08 Focus...Hello 09 Fusion

[j20000]

If any of you guys saw my thread in Pit Stop asking if I should do this or not...I did it.

I pretty much broke even trading in the Focus because I got it on the D-Plan, and I got this 09 Fusion SE w/ Blue Suede package for just under $20,000. Here's the details:

09 Ford Fusion SE
Dark Blue Ink
2.3L Auto
Blue Suede Package -
includes:
Alcantara® suede seat insert in blue, charcoal black leather-trimmed side bolsters with blue stitching; Alcantara® blue suede-colored door panel trim inserts; blue stitching on the leather-wrapped steering wheel and on the center floor console armrest pad; cyber carbon grey instrument panel, center stack and interior door panel appliqués. The 7-color ambient lighting feature is also included on the SE (standard in SEL) - add colorful accents in the front and rear footwells, front center console bin, and front two cupholders. On the outside, low-profile 18" P225/45R tires are mounted to painted aluminum wheels, riding on a sport-tuned suspension system.
Moon and Tune package
SYNC
Sirius Satalite Radio


Plans: 3d carbon lip kit, tint, lower (maybe)

Here are the pics:

















The paint has so much pearl in it...it doesn't really show up without the sun though

Well, it sure didn't take long for you to upgrade I absolutely am in love with those seats, wow And Justin, is your dealership gonna be able to hook me up with an uber pricing plan when I buy my Fiesta?

and u just tinted the 08's windows...

[j20000]

Yeah, I don't keep cars long.

Yeah, the wheels and seats were the absolute selling point for me. Once I saw the car on the lot, it really attacated my attention, and I decided I wanted it.

I'm sure they can work you our a really good deal...it won't be the D plan...but there are alot of other plans that you can get. Let me know when you are ready to order one.

I actually tinted them right after I bought the car....but I didn't post pics of it until recently. I tried to have the Ford Dealership have the Fusion windows tinted for me (there's a place they have do stuff like that) but they couldn't do it because any time you get a car on the D-Plan, they can't throw in any other incentives. I'll get them done this weekend probably.

[2focusd]

Well, I'll be done with school next fall, and the Fiesta should be out that following spring, so I'm figuring it'll be around next January - March. I figure that I'll have to special order it with the exact options I want, so I don't mind placing the order and waiting for awhile until it gets built so that I get the exact car I want. I'm just hoping you guys can hook me up so that I don't have to deal with dealership bull****

-Brian

[j20000]

Yeah, I'll set you up with my salesman up there...he won't bullsh*t you. When I was driving the Fusion I saw an Altima Coupe, and I was saying that I really liked the Altima, and he told me to go drive it and see which one I liked better. I don't think I have ever had a salesman like that. He will take car of you for sure. Plus I've bought 2 cars off of him in 4 months.

[2focusd]

I'm still waiting to pull the trigger on a car purchase obviously, but I'm deliberately avoiding my local Honda dealership. They just got a couple '09 Fit Sports in stock and I have a feeling that after I drive one of those, I'll not wanna stick it out almost two years waiting for the Fiesta

there ya go bro, fixed it for ya

i like it though! love the seats and rims!!

[RUN_ZX3]

those seats look great

[navlys32]

Nice looking fusion, other than the auto trans., I like it! Did you test drive the altima? my girl just got an 08 altima and I told her to test drive a mazda 6 and fusion also but she is one of those types that would only consider a honda, toyota, or nissan. I was wondering if you think the altima feels better/comfortable than the fusion?

[j20000]

No I didn't drive the Altima...I figured that if I drove the Altima, I would need to buy the 3.5..and in that case, I should have just kept the 350z. Honestly back when I bought the Focus I drove a 5sp 2.3 and it just didn't seem right...having to shift that kind of car. To be honest..I'm just sick of driving a stick shift car in traffic for 2 hrs a day.

[Egz]

I'll trade ya wheels and seats!

Lookin good.

[j20000]

you still have the OZ wheels?

[bigdaddyzx3]

Holy carp!!! You pulled the trigger on it!?!?!?!?!?!??

VERY NICE CAR!

I would love to drive that.

[j20000]

Thanks Hale. Yeah, I just went for it. I think it's definately a lot nicer car to drive. The brakes are better, the car rides smoother, and dare I say it even handles better. The seats hold you in place better...the focus seats had barely any side bolster, and the Fusion has just the right amount. It's all around a better car. It would definately be nicer if it had more power...but I knew that when I bought it.

[hksvt_03]

Very sexah! I love the seats and the color!

[crzyprazer316]

the fusions are nice cars. i test drove a 5speed. man it's a nice torque car. accidently lit the tires up across the intersection......well maybe i didn it on purpose. but very comfy car for sure.

Dude, you don't have to make excuses for getting an auto.




I love driving stick, but its a pain in the ass 90% of the time and fun the other 10%. I love driving my girlfriends car; we take it everywhere. It's just nice not having to think so hard while driving, especially in a semi-tuned car.

That being said, good choice! When you mentioned the altima thing...my dads about to trade up and get a new maxima (or trade over? from a mini). He's tired of small, cramped, racer type stuff and just wants an older, 4 door, nice car to roll around in like the old putz he is.

Damm Interior and overall car is great! What exactly is the D-plan??

standards aint to bad when they are like butter though.. bout to start driving my SVT i just got 400+ miles a week already did the shifter mods

[tallguy2.3]

Great choice! I'm glad you got it!

[1badassfoci]

OMG NOT AGAIN!!! LOL! I do think that interior is pretty sick tho. It has to be said tho! Drop and Tint!!! It needs some rims too! Personally I think I would have gone with a Mazda 6 tho they are pretty sick lookin the new ones! But im sure it would have been more than the Fusion! I hope you enjoy this car and keep it long enough to do some mods
