Well for better or worse I'm buying a 2012 Ford Focus SE. It's a bit older than I wanted but in great shape, just one owner. Has all new transmission 6 month warranty on the car and a full year on the transmission. By buying this car I'll still have money in the bank! Called AARP and got a great quote so I already paid for the insurance and it starts tomorrow the day we pick it up. It kind of fell into our lap. The guy that has been fixing mum's car knew we were looking for a car when this one came to him. It's funny how small town it all is. His grandfather had a garage and my dad worked with him for the fun of it. This guy remembers my father. It's not red but it's a great running quiet car. Surprised me how quiet it was as I thought compact cars were noisy. Does have blue tooth. And that all important curse control. I'll have to dig my CDs out---- music!
