Thinking of buying this used car, need advice

The price is way too high for that mileage. Also, avoid the automatic transmissions in the 2012-2018 models—they’re basically ticking time bombs.

Once the clutches are replaced, the car is decent. But the transmission will never feel smooth. You’ll just have to get used to it.

When did you get your clutch replaced, and how many miles have you driven on the new one? Mine’s in the shop right now, and Ford is replacing both the TCM and the clutch for free as a one-time deal. My car has 190k miles on it, but the engine was replaced two years ago. The transmission only lasted two years after that. I’ve already spent over $7k on repairs, and I wish I had just junked it instead of trying to fix it.

It’s fine if the actuators and TCM hold up, but those are known to fail too.
