Yes, that's right.

I busted the 50,000 mile cherry today. 50,092 miles, to be precise.

So the warranty party is officially done.

It's all on ME now.......

Only took 788 days. (2 years, 1 month, 28 days - my delivery date was June 7, 2001).

Wow - that's an average of 63+ miles EVERY DAY.

Oh well, with oil changed and fingers crossed go I......

This will be a good time to invest in a shop manual!

I've been averaging 110 miles a day since I bought the car, so I'm going to run out of warranty shy of 1.5 years.

I'm buying extended warranty from warrantydirect.net in a few months (can't quite afford it now). But it's worth ~$850 for $0 dedudctible warranty for another 50K miles.

ccha - how's it holding up so far? Just curious if you've had any trouble outside of normal maintenance items.

Had my Focus 2 years at the end of this month and already have 46k. Warranty was up 10k miles ago. Glad I bought the extended warranty because I just had over $300 in work that needed to be done. All covered by the extended warranty and zero deductible.
