2009 Ford Focus
This is the second 2009 Ford focus SE that I’ve owned. The first one had 147,000 miles on it with nothing needed but regular items. Tires, battery, regular oil changes at 5000 mile intervals and never used any oil between changes. If I kept my foot out of it, I got 38 to 41 miles mpg, if I pushed it I still got 35 at 80 mph. This one has 79,000 miles on it and I have not done anything but tires. It’s nearly as clean as off the showroom floor, as I keep my cars clean. I am very happy with this car. Depreciation is so low now, insurance is low, no payments with interest, make this an exceptionally cheap car to own. Reability has been second to none for me. Highly recommended but very hard to find a nice one with a regular maintenance performed and no rust. You can’t go wrong with the value of this car, great commuter car or for a new teenage driver. It’s rated safe. It’s also very comfortable to drive for a whole day.

The owner,Joe, was very professional and a people person. We purchased a 2005 Roush Ford F150 which is a classic. Very clean and well maintained vehicle. Joe seemed to be an upfront kind of guy which any prospective buyer would want.
Amazon little sleeper car
I have two of these little cars a 2008 Ford Focus SeS and a 2009 Ford Focus SE and I have never had any issues with either car besides the basic maintenance, they both have high mileage on the odometer and still they get amazing fuel mileage, granted it's not a luxury car and it's not a race car but not a Toyota Corolla slow either, my only Gripe is the way Ford designed the rear drum brakes with the wheel bearing pressed in the hub, there are ways around that especially if you're mechanically knowledgeable by doing a disc break conversion it's easy and allows a lot better stopping distance, both of my cars still look and run like new and they are extremely cheap to maintain. If they weren't good cars I wouldn't own two of them lol I still get compliments on both cars , tires are cheap, maintenance is cheap , they are comfortable and reliable to drive and they handle like a sports car and I know without a doubt that whenever I turn the key it'll start and get me where I need to go, I live in upstate NY where there is snow a lot and they both handle great with all season tires . Overall I definitely recommend a Ford Focus between the years 2008 - 2011 , I would stay very far away from the 2012 - 2016 model years because of the TCM and transmission issues. If you want reliability and comfort and a cheap car that will last as long as a Toyota buy this car .

I spotted a car I was interested in on Craigslist and
I spotted a car I was interested in on Craigslist and came in to check it out. I was immediately presented with the CarFax and allowed to see the car. I live 2.5 hours away and was able to place a deposit and set up a day to finish the sale. My sales associate, Chase, was professional and responsive to emails. He had my paperwork ready to go when I arrived, and it was quick and easy (though I hope I'm not doomed to being hounded by the third-party extended warranty provider). I did not have an outside inspection done on my vehicle (the service records in the CarFax were pretty complete), but someone asked about having one done while I was there and it didn't seem to be a problem. I am happy with both my vehicle and the purchasing process.
One of the best cars i have ever owned
My wife and I have 2 cars so a few months ago I decided to buy a work car so i don't put alot of kms on my Audi as I drive 150 kms a day. I came across this beautiful 2009 focus sel model with 273 000 kms I bought it for $ 550 dollars and after 3 months latter I am still very happy. It handles extremely well in the snow very fuel efficient the car has proven it self to me over and over again.

Great little car
I've owned 2 Focuses, and I was imposed with both of them. The 2009 wad bought used to replace the older one when we handed it down to our son. I bought this car while I was delivering pizza for a second job, while also traveling 300 miles round trip per week to help take care of my elderly mother in another city. In 5 years I never had any trouble with it. The only reason I got rid of it was because I needed a good trade in to replace our old van that was slowly dying, and I was tired of having 3 cars with only 2 drivers in the house. The Sync system is probably my favorite feature of this car, and the thing that I miss the most. I was typically getting 30-34 mpg, even delivering pizza. Great little car.

So far so good
I bought this car four years ago in a pinch when we sold our van. I needed a economical, reliable vehicle and it has served it's purpose. It gets great gas mileage (30-32 in town) is peppy when you need it and thus far has been reliable. I've heard from people in the car business that this particular style of Focus were very good cars.

Great place!!
We were looking for a used Ford F150 4×4. Had seen several online. We went to Indy first. That was a joke. When we pulled in to Gibson Family Motors, Brendin came out to greet us. He was simply awesome. He was very honest about any problems he knew about. Stayed late for us to be able to get 2 test drives in. We bought our favorite and everything was so simple and stress free. He was young but knew what he was doing. Answered our questions and then some. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good used vehicle. And be sure to ask for Brendin!

Solid, small town values
I live in Sequim and Gray motors has been around for quite some time. They are a local small business that carries some interesting inventory. I like the older, low mileage stuff. Call before you go. This isn't Seattle, They aren't open like the city dealers. To the Karens and Chads who are complaining about their hours, go buy elsewhere.

D&H Auto was awesome!
D&H Auto was awesome! It’s a father-and-son business, and I have never met salespeople who were so trustworthy, kind, and upfront. They gave me every bit of information I needed—no hidden fees, no surprises. I ended up with a great Subaru that I’m totally happy with. They even went the extra mile and connected me with someone they know who does affordable repairs. The whole experience was easy, honest, and stress-free. I highly recommend them!

I had no idea how stressful moving could be until I attempted it on my own. Thankfully, these movers saved the day. They arrived promptly, packed everything quickly, and ensured that nothing was damaged during the move. I really appreciated their attention to detail, especially with fragile items. The whole process was a lot less stressful with their help. I will definitely be using them again if I ever move!

I am on my third car from this lot.
I am on my third car from this lot. I feel like negative reviews are from people with unrealistic expectations of used cars at the $10k and under point. If you do a little research on things before going (to any lot) you’ll be a lot better off. I’ve never felt pushed into a car just to make a sale here. In fact, there was a time when Todd told me not to buy something because he knew it wasn’t what I was really after and wouldn’t be happy with it. I’ve never felt any pressure at all from any of them to get any certain car or the optional warranty. It’s always been quick, easy, and laid back. I’ve mentioned before id like to run it to a mechanic to get looked over before buying and they were ok with it. I’ll definitely keep checking in with them when I need a car.

I am a single mom who brought my kid in to buy his first
I am a single mom who brought my kid in to buy his first car. The gentlemen were helpful, friendly, and never condescending or patronizing. My sales associate Sam was quick, accommodating, and no hint of sleaze. Financing was a breeze with John. Again, never talked down to or felt under pressure. Such a pleasant experience. If all used car guys were like these guys, they'd have a much better reputation!
