Thinking of buying the 2009 Ford Flex?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2009 Ford Flex; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2009 Ford Flex, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
The engine is the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and 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 12.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 37 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $57.66 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Who the Flex suits
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Flex for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Flex answers more than any brochure.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Questions first?
