Hello, I’m just reading through the various contributions to the Ford Focus, but I’m now ripped back and forth and a little bit unsure.The following: My beloved Fiat Tipo now unfortunately blesses the time and the choice with a successor has fallen due to various magazines (used car information), Internet research, maintenance costs and purchase on a Ford Focus Combi, preferably diesel. Somehow the journalists who research so, but your forum doesn’t seem to be t to know, at the moment I’m not so sure if this is really a good decision…. It should be a used one – we have a dog and a new car I don’t want to suck in*sigh* After what I’ve read so far, the TDCI seems to be the better choice than the TDI. We have an offer about a Focus Futura TDCI 1.8 with 115 HP, EZ 03/04, 100,000 km for approx.8,500 EUR, checkbook maintained etc. The following questions: Is the offer ok? What are the shortcomings with cars of this age and this mileage more frequently? What should have been done with this car in any case in exchange etc. (running performance 100,000 km). There is another offer – a Focus Futura TD with 90 ps, almost 1 year older (EZ 04/03), 76,000 km for approx. 1.000 EUR cheaper. Would that be a better choice? Otherwise also above questions apply…;-) Then in advance – I don’t have so much idea about the car purchase and at all. My cars have I always bought through friends/known/former company cars etc., would now be the first time by a dealer. But at least I can read *g*, so the problem threads here have already made me very unsure. Thanks already! Greetings, Gaby
