take advantage of information the Internet. It helps when you know what you are looking for and how much it is. Some other tips are don't buy the first day no mater how good the deal is. Trust me its not going anywhere. Try to avoid friendly conversation and even a hand shake with the dealer..their job is to make you feel like a friend but if you make it hard you blow there whole game up. On the second day call and tell them what time you want to came in but then come like an hour early with check book in hand and let them see it in your hand. If your luck the dealer will be busy, let them know you r there but don't have time to wait and leave again. Last thing as soon as they give you the price and play the we have to go talk to the manager..ask why you waisted your time talking to him in the first place. This may all sound mean but it really works. Oddly enough this was taught to me in an interrogation call and i used it on my last to cars and BMW for the wife and Chevy Tahoe for me. I made both wait it out three days and got a better price than i wanted. Good Luck

The Diesel will last longer and great for a daily driver car. Ford has improved greatly, so gone are the days of Fix or repair daily. Anything, look for abusement when buying a used car. Also, check if the seller's heart is made of GOLD, lots of lairs these days.

Buy whatever car you want!
But check it for faults with a free guide from http://www.usedcarexpert.co.uk
The Fiesta is cheap because of the mileage; that's very high for a car that age. It must have a good service record if you are going to buy it. The Focus is slightly low mileage, so may be a better buy. Good luck.

Why on earth would you buy a ford? You're going to be in the shop with that thing daily! You'll be so popular with the repair shop they'll be giving you discounts!
If you must, go with the focus.

Depending on how much driving you do, I would choose the diesel. It will save you money on the fuel. The drawback is that diesels are more on maintenance.
Whichever one you choose, have a mechanic inspect the car before you buy it. Don't buy it, and then have it inspected, then you have no choice but to get it fixed at your cost. good luck.

FORD - Fix Or Repair Daily, Found On Road Dead, F***** Only Runs Downhill, and of course backward - Driver Returns On Foot.
