Picking up a DD soon, next few days I hope, as I start a new job on Tuesday and my commute is going from 20 miles round trip to 80-90 miles and I dont want to put those miles on my mustang. Currently, I am between a 05 Focus ZX4 SES w/ 113k for $6000 or a 96 Civic with 138k for $5000. These are at a dealer and I'm sure if i offer cash the price would come done for either. Given a choice what would you pick?

Neither, for that kind of cash you can get a newer or lower mile or better maintained car from a private party. Figure the dealer is marking those cars up at least $1,500 more than what you could buy from a private party. Plus, don't make a hasty decision especially if you have another ride in the mean time. Don't rush into a bad decision.

You should def get on craigslist or somewhere, and find some private sellers much much cheaper ( I'm always on craigslist you'll be surprised, it be some pretty good deals on there).

This. There are deals out there just have to look. I did a quick search in your state and found a few 03-07 honda civic/accord for 4-7K with roughly same miles.
