Auto loans: the 2005 Ford Focus
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2005 Ford Focus for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2005 Ford Focus, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the Focus
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the figures tell you
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. 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, 9.0 L/100 km, means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $41.85 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the Focus is like
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 1,019 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the Focus makes sense
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
If the Focus is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Focus for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Focus answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
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.
Get an offer
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
