Hi All,
I've been looking at the Fiesta ST for a while now- I currently have a 2013 Subaru WRX Premium. I get bad gas mileage, the engine needs to be revved like crazy to get the power, it doesn't handle that well, the stereo sucks, and the interior creaks and rattles which is driving me insane.
So I found this beauty nearby and put a deposit on it: http://www.woltzwindford.com/used/Ford/2014-Ford-Fiesta-3ede652c0a0a00e01fc03041e0c56e4d.htm
The only thing that makes me nervous is it being a manufacturer's vehicle that has traveled the country. According to the vehicle history report it's been to Florida, California, and Michigan so I have the suspicion that this was one of the cars thrashed by journalists during its 10k miles. When I test drove it the check engine light was on- which I completely understand for new cars but am more suspicious of for used cars.
Any thoughts or experiences with manufacturer's vehicles? Should I walk away and pay a few bucks extra for the new? It comes with the balance of the manufacturer's warranty- but the wear and tear it could have taken during that time makes me nervous.
