Car financing: the 2017 Ford C-MAX
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 Ford C-MAX 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. Before you buy the 2017 Ford C-MAX, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 25 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, electrical system and steering; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
A combined rating of 5.9 L/100 km works out to about 18 litres per 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $27.45 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 680 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the C-MAX makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the C-MAX answers more than any brochure. Rent the C-MAX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the C-MAX answers the big questions.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$1,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $9.15 in fuel.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. 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.
