Newer or older Ford Focus?

Is it better to buy a 2009 Ford Focus with 56,000km or a 2011 Ford Focus with 119,000km?

Hi Sandra,

The rule of thumb is to never buy on year and mileage but always on condition and history. If one has a full service history, every receipt, stamp and cert in a neat little folder, go for that one.
