Thinking of buying the 2011 Ford Flex?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Ford Flex for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. For anyone shopping for the 2011 Ford Flex, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 144 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, engine and power train; have those parts checked.
Engine and fuel
It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder, 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.
At 12.3 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 37 litres of fuel. In energy, every 100 km costs about $19.07 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Flex
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Size and space
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Flex for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Flex tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Flex answers the big questions.
Narrowing it down
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. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,550 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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $190.70 at our price setting.
Your move
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Ford Flex from us first.
