Is Ford Cmax a good used car. Do they hold up well after 60k miles?
No!
Hi so the depends on how it has been looked after before the 60 k miles.
As long as it has been correctly maintained at the right mileage/time intervals and as long as you continue the maintenance schedule then unless you are very unlucky the car will be fine at just 60k miles.
It should be capable of far more than that, but somewhere between 70k and 120k miles you can expect a few bits to wear out, such as the alternator and starter motor. If the car is around five or six years old and on the original battery you can also expect the battery to need changing very soon: it's easy and cheap/free to get a battery load test to see how much life it may still have. If the tyres are originals then even if they aren't worn out you they deteriorate with age and lose grip, so replace those at about seven or eight years. 60k miles probably means the front brakes are nearing the end of their second set of brake pads, at that stage the discs (US= rotors) will usually need changing.
In short, it's approaching the mileage where you can start expecting a few bills.
There don't seem to be a lot of them out there, but the source has a pretty good review. The few other data points agree with the electrical problems and engine trouble.
- What is a good car that can hold 6-8 people and had good gas milage? I don't want a minivan. Right now I have a ford freestyle. I'm looking for under $5,000 and can get around to 40 miles per gallon
- What are my chances of getting a loan from Ford for a 60K vehicle (600 credit score) and I make 98K a year? I have two credit cards both 10% utilization, and two loans approx 20K all together with payments at 350 each, rent is 600 a month and that is all I pay.
- 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?
- Ford Ranger 4.0, 172,000 miles rough idle when starting after sitting overnight or after 2-3 hours. Starts 1st crank, idles rough 1 minute? Or so and then smooths out and runs fine. New heads and gaskets. Cleaned MAF sensor, throttle body and air intake sensor, new IAC valve, new air and fuel filters, new PCV valve. No smoke coming from exhaust and No check engine light. Any ideas what's causing this rough idle?
