Buying the 2010 Ford Flex
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2010 Ford Flex for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2010 Ford Flex is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 139 owner complaints on file, mostly about steering, engine and service brakes.
What the figures tell you
The 3.5L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 11.8 L/100 km, means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $18.29 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the Flex
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Rent the Flex for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the Flex tells you more than any review.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Talk to a person
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
