Hi everybody. I've only just recently discovered what seems to be one of the greatest modern sleepers on the market. A bit of background: First, I don't work on my vehicles and I've only owned one car, a lil putter 2013 Nissan Versa, that I just paid off in February. It continues to serve its purpose...averaging 37 mpg and only requiring oil changes every 3.5k miles, brake fluid every 15k miles or so, and tires. I replaced my lower control arm bushings last year too but that's it for maintenance. Just over 78k miles on it. Helped me save a boatload of money, never broken down...and now I want a real car but naturally I don't want to finance $30k.

I've read a decent amount around the general discussion here and learned a lot. Since I've only bought one car in my lifetime, I am definitely NOT in a rush. But I found what looks to be a killer deal 7 miles up the road from me that I want a second opinion on. Is this about what I should look for in a used SHO? 2016 model, 38k miles, two owners that drove about 12k miles a year listed for just under $21k. Non-PP from what I can tell but I'm not concerned about that. I'm concerned it'll be a pain in the butt to find good service records from a Volkswagen dealer though.

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the group! Definitely consider getting a Ford Protect Premiumcare warranty if you buy the vehicle, best prices are generally available from online Ford dealerships. It will be well worth it, especially if you do not do only/mostly highway driving.

Welcome,

Also, damn I should have waited a year. I picked up my 13 PP with 13k more miles for that price out the door.
