The 2002 Ford Focus: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 Ford Focus for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2002 Ford Focus for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 971 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, suspension and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The figures, translated
The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. 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 8.9 L/100 km combined: about 27 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $13.80 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
The Focus in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 1,019 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Focus on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
