Used Ford Focus for Sale

I bought this car used for $1,000 with 144,000 miles on it. I have had this car for two years now and have run it ragged and it has not failed on me yet. I have encountered no break-downs, no noises, and have only raves about what a good car I got for $1,000 dollars. I actually have never liked Fords but this car is sleek, sporty, and well designed. The only design flaw it has it that there is no arm rest in between the driver's seat and passenger seat. That and the way the driver's seat has worn down are my only complaints so far. The seat has become uncomfortable over the years. There is a hard portion of the chair's frame that is protruding into my body in the seat portion and the back portion due to the cushions getting more deflated with time. The car is a stick shift and not having an arm rest in the middle between the seats took a bit to get used to and still wish almost everyday that they would have designed the interior with this feature. But for the price and how reliable it has been the seat and no armrest is well worth the trade. I drive a 14 year old car and drive at ease with little worry it will break down it has been that dependable.

I bought this car for the good fuel mileage and it hasn't disappointed me in that area. The overall design is very basic, and some of the cosmetic components (especially plastic pieces) seem cheaply made or have broken, for instance the air vent covers and the horizontal plastic trim along the outside of the doors. The engine has been reliable and relatively powerful. It doesn't feel sluggish or hesitant. One of the main cons about the car is the road noise. There seems to be very little insulation between the cabin and the engine area or bottom of the car. The seating is spacious, and the trunk is large enough to hold all of my husband's handyman tools. My daughter's large car seat fits great in the car.

It may be a popular choice of a car, but it does have some issues (at least in my experience). One great thing I can say about the car is that they can last for a long time if you do take good care of it. However, my Ford Focus started falling about after a few years of using it. The siding and the front bumper will actually pop out, and usually I have to push it back in. It got to the point where I have to tape some parts of the car. Also, my car doesn't exactly have the most comfortable seats, so they are not for long road trips. I actually know someone who got a Focus from a earlier year, and the seats are much more comfortable compared to my car. Does have good gas mileage though! It's cheap to fill up the tank. You just need patience and take good care of the car if you do end up purchasing one.
