I drive the wagon variant of the Focus. I got this car with 33,000 miles on it in 2015 for $6,000. I thought it was a great deal. It's a 2003 so I've dealt with a lot of age related issues with the car. But other issues seem to be the overall quality of the car. I am only the second owner of the car. I have had it for 4 years. No accidents. The odometer now reads 87,000 miles. So I've only put roughly 54,000 miles on it over the course of 4 years I've had to sink more money into the car than what I paid for it. Its not even at 100k miles yet and the internals of the car seem to just fall apart. I just had to pay $1,800 to replace the entire compression system because it was falling apart from the inside and causing my belts to rub against the engine. I am a pretty conservative driver. I don't do crazy things with my vehicle. But this car has caused me a lot of worry and stress on quite a few occasions. Every time I take it in for an oil change I'm worried there will be another issue with it that will cost me at least $600 or more. Maybe I was just dealt a bad hand. Not the reliability I was expecting and I can't wait for something new.
