| Any experience with this car? I am buying car for ds for college and there’s a 2018 Ford Focus 30k miles for $12k including taxes and fees. Any input on this car and if price is good would be appreciated. Really looking for a car that is good price but will also be reliable |

| My parents have had these for years, and they have been very reliable. People on here will say go for a japanese car, but if you can find a deal on a focus I'd go for it. |

| The only trim I'd consider is the RS. If you can find one that's not been abused or tricked out, go for it. It'll probably appreciate in years to come. |

Yes, Domestic vehicles typically do not appreciate in value. Japanese brands™️ often do. |

No. They most certainly DO NOT “often” appreciate. A 2016 Honda Civic with 53,000 miles is never going to be worth more than a 2020 Civic of the same trim level. A few - a FEW - Japanese cars, namely Toyota Supras and Datsun 280ZX’s - appreciated greatly in value after 20+ years of not being made. This was due to scarcity and attrition, rather than exclusivity. But for the other 99% of Japanese cars, NO, they don’t appreciate in value. |
