Used Ford Focus for Sale in Murfreesboro, TN

This car is cheap and made of plastic. I do a lot of DIY repairs and upkeep when I have to, and I have seen things on this car that I have not seen on others. I needed to clean my throttle body at one point. When I removed the air hose connecting to the throttle body, I noticed that the actual throttle body was made of plastic and not metal, very cheap. There is no radiator cap. You must refill the coolant through the reservoir, which makes it harder to get air bubbles out. A lot of the screws holding the interior panels in are made of plastic. Am I supposed to use my plastic screwdriver to remove these so I don't strip them?? Other than the cheap build of the car, it gets okay gas, about 20mpg and has lasted almost 200K miles.

I bought this car used because I do home health and the reviews were good for great gas mileage. The price was good for what I was wanting, the overall look of the car I am pleased with. The biggest issue I have is the transmission is "jerky" at times. I am fearful of having to pull out quickly due to I'm afraid the car won't get me there fast enough to avoid an accident. The rubber trim around all the doors is very fragile and has already come apart and I've had to put it in place several times. The cloth seats are VERY easily stained, even with just a drop of water it leaves a stain. The comfort of the seats is something I do like, the driver seat is very comfortable and since I'm in my car a lot due to my job, that is important to me. I enjoy all the "fancy" dashboard items, computerized data with miles per gallon displayed, miles to empty and all the other "little" things I can pull up with the dash. Since I do home health, of course I fill my gas tank up often and do wish the tank would hold more than 12 gallons so I wouldn't have to stop and fill up so often, however I am overall pleased with my car.
