Just bought a ‘13 SHO

[ThatSlowSHO]

Hey everyone, last night I bought an SHO off a kind of sketchy dealer. I think the cars in good shape but what are some typical issues you all have with the 6th gen so ik what to look for when I get it on jacks? I also was too excited to sleep last night so I made a parts list of what I wanna do to the car. I’m not too sure ab the exhaust, hoping I could get some insight on if the corsa or magnaflow sounds better. Also I have NO idea what wheels I wanna put on it. anybody know some forged rims that look good on these?

Keep the powder of your wallet dry to make sure maintenance is up to *****. You have no idea of the history and PTU needs to be looked at. Probably should pay someone to put a good scanner (dealer, high end Autel, etc) on it to see if parameters are good. Get it on a lift and see if anything is loose or leaking.

Welcome, many like myself post their parts and upgrades in their signature.

I agree @luigisho and visit the post drop @SM105K posting for properly maintaining your car.

Changing ALL fluids, transmission ptu rdu flush cooling, get a scope down the intercooler and look for build up of oil, change the air filter for a k&n drop in shocks and front struts plugs and coil packs....

Focus ST Update: Yes a Focus ST update......not a good one though. Actually...this car has been pretty good for 4.5 years. 172K miles on the dial. I have driven it 90K. I have only replaced the battery, one engine mount, upgraded the trans mount, fuel tank purge valve, radiator, and tires...
