Description

Market Highlights
- The Mechanic's Special: In the 2026 market, internal combustion vehicles with known issues represent a unique value bracket. For a car with only 78,000 miles, the cost of repair is significantly lower than the total market value of a running 2017 Focus, creating an arbitrage opportunity for savvy buyers.
- Southern California Context: In Pacoima and the greater Los Angeles area, there is a robust secondary market for 'fixer-upper' vehicles. The rust-free chassis and low mileage make this specific Focus more desirable than high-mileage examples found in other regions, even with its mechanical flaws.
- Focus Model Volatility: The 2012-2018 Ford Focus is defined by its transmission reputation. While this drives prices down for sellers, it provides a very low entry point for buyers who have access to affordable labor or the technical skill to replace the Transmission Control Module.
