Ford Focus Usados en Venta en Columbus, OH

I think over all the car was a good purchase. It had low miles when I got it and only some minor cosmetic damage. There hasn't been much I've had to replace on it and definitely nothing in the major category I've done with it in the 10 years I've had it. I was bummed that there were so many body remakes after I purchased my Focus because that really made the resale value plummet. It is very light weight and has trouble in snow. Takes awhile to heat up when it is cold because it has a small engine in it. But that is good for gas mileage. I get just below 30 mile per gallon city and highway driving so that's pretty good for a 10-year-old car. I think I got a really good deal for the price I paid. I have had minor things happen here and there, but it is a ten-year-old car now. I have done regular maintenance on it and kept up on all the things older cars require. It is fairly small foe a vehicle, and one of my biggest concerns driving it is that people don't pay enough attention and will run me off the road. It's happened more than once. One thing that I don't think anyone else will write, and that is a feature of this car that isn't common is that there is no trunk release button or lever in the car itself so you need the keys to get in the trunk. I like it because that means all of my stuff I hoard in there is safe when I take it in to get worked on.

I am honestly pretty tired of this car and I will certainly be looking for a new one soon. I bought it out of sheer desperation when my last vehicle broke down and was going to cost over $5000 to repair. I did not have much confidence that the car mechanics even found everything wrong with my vehicle so I decided to sell it and get a different car. When I found this car, it seemed like it would be the complete opposite of the vehicle I was getting rid of - it would be something positive for me, much more fuel efficient, inexpensive and a nice little car to drive around but it turned out to be none of that at all. The maintenance costs are beyond insane. I test drove it before purchase and the test drive went very well. I felt I was happy enough with the car and it seemed like it worked very well so I decided to buy it. But right after purchase, I immediately had problems. Just after leaving the dealership, I was going around the freeway exit ramp and then the car literally flew off the side of the freeway (right after I just bought it!). It wasn't me driving badly, it was definitely the car. It felt slippery and like the tires maybe weren't right somehow when I lost control of the car. Luckily, I was OK but given where the car landed, near a deep ravine, it could have been much more dangerous, deadly and definitely worse for both the car and my own life. Apparently there were problems with the suspension and it cost quite a bit to fix. The car has literally been costing me money ever since. That's all this car has done is cost money. I have spent so much repairing this car over and over again and I have really had enough. I will be looking for a new car very soon because of the car problems I am currently having with this vehicle.
