Hello, I am a new user, I am looking to buy a 3rd Gen Focus within the next 6 months. I have been looking at Ford Approved Used with finance, is this the best place to buy one from or does anyone have any better routes?

You could see if a dealership has any ex demonstrators they are usually adopt 9 months old well specked and low mileage and being a dealership you will get finance

I used Autotrader, most of the dealer groups advertise there, and there are plenty of Focuses around.  I finished up with a 9 month old Titanium 1.0 bought from Trust Ford.  A number of pleasant surprises, including a car with < 3000 miles being fully serviced when I was expecting to have to get it serviced 3 months later, and wouldn't have been worried about it. Good price as well, although because of that my opportunity to haggle was reduced.
