I've been looking at a 2015 Ford Focus (DOHC, 2.9L DGI) hatchback with 71,000 miles for $8,400. It's at a large, high-volume dealer in Texas.
When I mentioned this to a friend of mine, he said his (recently deceased) Father-in-law's car is for sale:
2013 Kia Optima LX with only 17,000 original miles. (He sent pics - the man never even drove this car in the rain) - $10,000 in perfect shape.
It's been many years since I have done any car shopping. I'm not interested in any "high-tech" features.
I really don't want a GDI engine, so I'm stepping lightly with this decision (but there's few alternatives)
This is something I'll likely drive to the 250,000 mile mark.
While I don't think I could go wrong either way - - which one would you choose, and why?
Tell me all the dirt!
Thanks, Everyone!
