Went to a junkyard that opened up a year or two ago as a pick and pull style. Haven't had great luck with the one closest to me so I figured I'd go to this one.
Had to pick up some Jeep parts and that was the purpose of our trip. Not sure what happened, but everything we needed was just sitting there already pulled so ... that saved us some time.
I went through the Ford section to find some trim panels for my Focus. Found a sandwhiched 2009 SEL focus 70000 miles with heated leather. Thought about it for a minute but figured it wasn't worth it. Turns out seats are $20 and they were on sale - buy one get one according to the pricelist.
The seats aren't in the greatest of shape. But on these second generation Focuses, it's well known the the cloth seats are garbage and wear out quickly. I already had no side bolstering on the drivers seat and the cushion was gone on the bottom of the left. Not so comfortable.
So we pulled the seats out , not too hard on these cars..
Turns out it was buy one (row) get one (row). So I paid a total of $20 for the seats. I also grabbed the HVAC control panel for the heated seats. Unfortunately, Ford wired the 08-10 for heated seats but not mine. Oh well. If it was a '10, it would be a plug and play.
Seats went in without issue. SRS system works.
Some pics- not great, but for $20 I'm not complaining. So much more comfortable! I'm sure they detract from the value of the car but I'll keep the originals. Not that a 5 year old Ford Focus with 65000 miles is worth anything anyway. Plus I plan on running this car into the ground.
