Do you think buying a 2000 ford focus with 161,000 miles a good car purchase? For 1,000?
I'm wondering if anyone will recommend, a 2000 ford focuse with 161,000 mileage as my first car, I recently got my drivers permit I want a car to practice my driving skills and I stubbled into the 2000 ford focus.
So many variables to consider, but a car this age will need new suspension struts, if its a manual transmission it probably needs a new clutch. Brakes and tires need a good look as well as the engine. A car this old will need a new radiator.
I would go to a couple of wrecking yards and find out from them if any Ford Focus car's available from all production years. This is because parts are usually interchangeable and if you need a part you could get one from a later model they may have on hand. I tell you this because of the car age and personal experience with used cars. Best wishes.
Nope., the 16valve alloy engine is made by company "yamaha".once the bottom ends go,"knocking" its time to throw it away.
As long as it runs and drives, take it. Can't go wrong for 1,000
I heard even ford employees don't want to buy fords
- I have a 97 Ford Ranger, 4.0, in good shape, 102,000 miles and it doesn't start as well as I think it should. It cranks strong, and has new? Motorcraft plugs and fuel filter. I've cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body and the truck runs fine and there's no misfire. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but I think the truck should start when I turn the key instead of having to crank 2-3 times. I've also installed a new IAC valve. Any suggestions on how to get the truck to start better?
- Is a 2008 ford focus with 102,000 miles worth the purchase? I'm looking into used cars to buy for my first car and I found a used 2008 ford focus that I like with about 102000 miles on it. I've heard ford cars don't last that long, so is it a waste to buy a ford with that many miles? I'm going to be using it to drive too and from college, so mostly highway miles.
- What do you think of buying a new Hyundai accent, kia rio, or ford fiesta as a second car? My current car is old and falling apart it has rust everywhere and rocker panels are rotted out. So i was thinking about get a new cheap car like a Hyundai accent or KIA Rio or ford fiesta. What do you think? I don't want a big car just something basic to get me around.
- What do you think about buying this truck? (first car)? It is a 1999 Ford F-150 with 144000 miles on it, transmission works perfectly, the engine is a V8 New tires, recently oil changed and has leather interior for 1700 dollars. Is this a good deal?
