The most reliable used car worth up to 500 thousand rubles is the second-generation Ford Focus. This was told by the technical director of the Fresh automotive market, Maxim Ryazanov, to socialbites.ca.
“In my opinion, the most affordable car with mileage up to 500 thousand rubles can be called the Ford Focus, produced in 2009-2011. In this case, it is worth giving preference to the configuration with a 1.6-liter engine and a manual transmission or a hydraulic automatic transmission. This power unit and transmissions are quite reliable,” Ryazanov said.
According to experts, the engine life of such models is 300-350 thousand kilometers. The timing belt should be changed at least every 150 thousand kilometers. Drive bearings will last the same amount of time. The front suspension stabilizer struts can last 40-50 thousand kilometers, the bushings are twice as long. The rear suspension is also reliable. The life of shock absorbers is rarely less than 110-140 thousand kilometers.
At the same time, the car is unpretentious and cheap to maintain, especially if you do it on time and do not drive aggressively. Also, Ford Focus does not need to be filled with high-octane gasoline. Just fill the tank with AI-92 gasoline, it will not hurt. Fuel consumption varies from 8.6 l to 10.6 l. The expert said once per 100 km.
