I did it /o/
I bought the gutless econobox.
I em men now.
Its babby's first vehicle.
113 000km.
2008 SE.
MINT interior.
No rust.
Minor paint damage.
4 steel wheels and 4 2012 fusion aluminum mags.
$6500 Canadian all in after sales taxes, new rubber mats, rust-proofing, 3 month/5000km warranty from dealer.
Came totally detailed. Like I said; interior is clean and beautiful. Smells like vanilla and bananas.
Fully loaded, no leather seats/no remote starter.
Also included in the 6500$ is first three months of insurance payments.
I think I made a good purchase.
Any advice on maintenance?

You done goofd. You could have imported a 2000 Subaru legacy B4 with less kilometers, awd and turbos for the same price or LESS. Or an Evo 4, or a WRX Sti.
Shit tier decision broseph. Why wouldn't you import?

EVAP purge valve triggers a check engine light somewhat frequently on the 4-cyl. and I've seen two or three of them that have had the brake master cylinder fail internally and take out the booster as well. but for the most part the Fusions are very reliable (albeit very bland) vehicles.

6/10, you should have gotten a '10+ Duratec 30 powered Fusion with leather

Yeah. Its a boring drive.
I honestly just need to save money on fuel.
Went downtown and got mired by some MILFs though.
Glad women dont know cars.

I have an 08. Same motor but aluminum wheels.
Motor mounts tend to begin going bad at 100k miles, your inside door handle will snap but it's a 20 dollar part on eBay and takes literally 15 minutes to replace, and check your tranny fluid since mine started going brown at like 80k miles so I did a flush and it's been fine.
So far no other problems with them. I work at an express lube/ service center and they come in all the time with 150k on them and no real issues. They're really good cars if taken care of.
And the drive train in them is made by Mazda so you basically bought a Mazda 6 for Ford prices.

This
The CD3 platform is basically a stretched Mazda6, best one though where the refresh models

I have the aluminum wheels from a 2012. These are just for winter.
Thanks for the info.
