Avoid These Used Cars Add Years to Life
Common Pitfalls in Used Car Purchases
The allure of a bargain can sometimes blind buyers to the hidden costs associated with certain used cars. Models known for transmission problems, electrical issues, or high maintenance costs can quickly turn a good deal into a financial burden. For example, the Ford Focus, particularly the 2012 and 2013 models, has been frequently reported for transmission failures, which can cost upwards of $3,000 to repair1.
