Owner's Pitch

Market Highlights
- The Mechanic's Special Market: In early 2026, the demand for ultra-low-budget vehicles remains high, but buyers are wary of engine-related failures. A car that overheats at 200,000 miles is often viewed as a gamble, as the repair costs can quickly exceed the total value of the vehicle.
- Southern California Climate: Cars in San Diego benefit from a lack of road salt and rust, preserving the structural integrity of older models like the 2010 Focus. This makes them more viable for long-term repairs compared to similar high-mileage vehicles from the Rust Belt.
- Focus Model Longevity: The 2010 model year was part of the more reliable second generation of the North American Focus. While it lacks modern tech, its simplicity makes it easier for DIY mechanics to maintain, provided the initial engine issue is resolved properly.
