Buying the 2013 Ford Focus
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2013 Ford Focus for sale by us right now. The 2013 Ford Focus for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 7.7 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 23 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $119.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,220 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 651 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the Focus suits
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Rent the Focus first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Focus on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.94 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $119.40 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Still deciding?
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2013 Ford Focus from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2013 Ford Focus for you and reply within one business day.
