The cost of maintenance for any car depends on the defective part. On this platform and particularly on the car maintenance thread, I've seen a part for all these Toyota Corolla quoted between 70-75k. I've forgotten the exact part. So it's usually not about the car but the defective part.

I drive a Ford Focus 2009 and it's going 2 years now. Got it from the guy here. So far, I can say that its maintenence has not been that tough. The most important thing is servicing within two or two months plus. The engine sound still seems like when I got it even though I've had a serious accident with it.

Ford makes their cars in such a way that when the car is very sick it literarily cries. For example, after the accident, I was still driving it that evening but by morning, water hard dried because the radiator was affected and I never knew. The engine light was blinking on the screen yet I was just naive about what it meant. And then the car started vibrating - the steering and even the sit, in fact, everything was vibrating and I was forced to stop. Someone had to check for me and then told me I was very lucky that the car didn't develop overheat even when all the water had leaked out. I was shocked.

I thought the car would start jumping from one form of issue to the next after the accident but it never did. Even a bad sound that I've been hearing from the engine (I posted the video here) suddenly stopped without repairs.

From my experience, I'd say Ford is cool. Things don't just spoil unnecessarily so you start spending money you never budgeted.

However, like every other car coming from CA, once you get it, screen and deal with rust issues. They'd most likely be there, especially cars below 2011 or 2012. And that's not a major work because it doesn't affect the engine and once you attend to it very well, that's the end.

Succinctly put, maintenence for me has been normal like every other car. And many times, if you don't find the main Ford part, you'll find something that matches it. I've changed only a few parts though - tyroid, engine mount and engine rubber cover thread to stop oil leakage.

On the issue of a mechanic attending to you, I'd say you shouldn't worry yourself much about that. Even mechanics for other car brands are quacks. Most of them are quacks. So what are we talking about?

My advice: if your car develops a problem, try to first of all understand the issue before going to the mechanic. Ask questions online (thank God for a man like Gazzuzz) and also watch YouTube videos about the problem. Make sure you also scan the car then take your error codes to engine-codes.com. Once you've done all these, any repair with your local mechanic would be a walk over whether the person is a Ford, Toyota, or Mazda mechanic. Don't depend on any mechanic to manually diagnose a problem or unilaterally take a decision on what the actual problem may be. Hear me: majority of them in Nigeria are professional quacks.

I don't know if I've addressed all your concerns.

Thanks for this detailed expose. Much appreciated.

its not ITK because you yourself didn't reason to the angle I did, I countered someone that said he can't get a car for 1.5m but you were blinded by the fact that you are looking for a cheap car scouting allover the auto thread but I pray you don't fall into the hands of scammers and just so you know neither do I need anything from you.

yesh

amdman:


SOLD

I will gladly pay if the owner is no more interested

Sometimes I wonder if one cannot start a side business by staking some money to import from AMD with the hope that those who do not want to tie their money may be willing to pay an extra 200k (depending on car type) to the middle man when the car finally arrives.
Just thinking aloud.

It’s a good ideA but things are really expensive now

FanOfMyself:

I personally prefer Ford, Chevrolet, et al to all these Toyota, Honda, Lexus wey full everywhere. But I have a question, how much is the cost of maintenance of ford compared to brands like toyota and lexus? Also how available are the mechanics with enough experience to take care of it.

poor choice. Even in America the brands you mentioned outsell American for a reason
