When you shop for a used car you want to find a good quality vehicle with low mileage and in clean condition, both inside and out. That’s why the Ford Focus is the perfect used car. Here’s a few reasons you should buy one.
1. Depreciation
Brand new cars depreciate as much as 30% the moment you drive them off the lot. That means purchasing a new vehicle at $18,000 will cost you $5,400 the moment you drive away from the dealership. Let someone else pay that price. The average price of a 2016 Ford Focus is only $12,600. The depreciation is much slower after 2-3 years too, so the 2016 model will hold its value for longer.
2. Ford Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program
The best deals are lease turn-ins. Many people find leasing preferable, looking for a new vehicle every few years. These are often well-kept cars with low miles that have been regularly serviced by the dealership.
Ford’s Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program uses a 172-point inspection system to certify that the vehicle is working properly. This offers peace of mind when buying a used vehicle.
As part of the program, Ford extends the powertrain warranty to 7 years or 100,000 miles. They also offer a limited warranty for one year or 12,000 miles. Towing, roadside assistance, and other servicing benefits can be negotiated into the deal as well.
3. Comfort & Convenience
The Focus may be a compact sedan, but it is big on comfort. The Focus has a surprising amount of head and leg room in both rows. You can also look for a used Focus with leather upholstery. The Focus comes in a sedan style or hatchback. Regardless of style, the Focus is well suited to the tighter city streets and garages. The 2016 model year debuted with Ford’s Sync 3 Infotainment system. Navigation, smart phone integration, and more are easily operated on Ford’s intuitive system.
4. Safety
The newer, third generation Focus uses some of the most up-to-date driver-assist technology. Ford’s Forward Collision Warning system uses advanced radar and camera technology to detect and alert you to potential hazards ahead.
In 2010 Ford upgraded the stability control systems of the Focus. The third generation Focus has advanced stability control systems to help keep the car under control under a variety of surface conditions.
5. Model Trim Choices
The Focus was designed with a trim level for every lifestyle. If you want luxury, look for the Titanium trim full of luxury appointments. If it’s sportiness and performance you’re after, then the ST or the high performance RS models are designed with performance and handling in mind.
If it’s simple economy you’re looking for, then the base model S is nicely equipped. However, looking at the SE trim, you’ll find additional options that may not add much in the way of price to a used Focus.
These are just a few of the many reasons to buy a used Focus. Come test drive one today and see which Focus is right for you.
