New here(HELP)

[Fletcher Anderson jr.]

I' am new here. Here's my question I am looking to buy a sho found a 2010 with 29,300 miles on it but from reading the forms the 2013+ are better. Should I jump on the low mile 2010 or look for a 2013? The price difference is about 6-7 thousand dollars.

Check to see if it has a trunk pull down strap. If so, it is a later edition of that model year.
Also Ford made rolling changes throughout that production year which was from around early 2009 through mid-2010.
See if you can get a Ford dealer to run the VIN to make sure the various technical service bulletins were performed. Also, they can tell you, or, give you an idea of any warranty claims or dealer work performed.
If all good, I'd go for it to save $6k.

Thanks markathome will check

a 29k mile 10 is a great find, if priced right.

I can run the Oasis for you if you cannot find local help in that area. Just pm me the vin and a real email addy.

Ok more information the car was purchase in 2009 so it's a job 1. It was a corporate car driven about 4700 miles a year. They are asking 24,000 for it and it's a cpo. Should I go for it or not? I have found 2011 & 2012 for the same or close to price but with many more miles.

I would get an Oasis report and check out the TSB's performed. You definitely want those done, almost all of them, as some of the symptoms are infrequent but very annoying (borderline dangerous, such as the transmission shift range indicator). If the TSB's are done, I personally would buy it with a clean carfax.
