My wife and I are buying our first car and are looking at second hand Focus automatics. We're keen on the Focus due to the excellent road tests and apparent low maintenance costs.
We don't have a lot to spend (=A34000) which means that we are looking at vehicles with mileage of 80,000+
1) Are we better off to forget the Focus and buy a cheaper car with lower mileage (e.g. Pug 106/306)? 2) If we go for it, are there any particular questions to ask the seller (e.g. cambelt change)? 3) Anything particular to watch re: automatic transmission on Focus?Thanks for your thoughts. Tim
