Hi guys, my family just recently purchased a Ford Fiesta Trend sedan AT owner and I was hoping to get some information in preparation for the future (in case of repairs, etc) since I'm considered a newbie when it comes to automobiles. We bought it at Ford Commonwealth in cash with the following discounts and freebies:
50k cash discount
23k for insurance with AOG
Free LTO registration for 3 years
Platinum Magic tint
Rain gutter/window visor
seat cover
1 year era card
10L gas
standard matting
Free PMS for 1k (labor and parts) and 10k (labor only)
1. Is the deal considered a good one?
2. Based on what I read on the other threads, some dealers are known to be bad at servicing. The nearest Ford service center from my location is in Otis, but I haven't seen anyone around that has had their car serviced there. Is the service good in Otis and are there any other branches that have good services?
3. Are there already parts available for this model outside the casa, and are the prices for the parts almost the same as those of the Japanese counterparts?
4. Given the reputation that Ford has, should I be prepared for any broken parts within the next few months or years? The reason I chose this car over other Japanese brands was that the features that came with it, as well as a better looking interior (albeit a smaller legroom and headroom at the back) for me. My friends recommended getting the Vios instead as it is they said that Ford cars have a low fuel economy and the parts for Ford are hard to find, but I still chose this instead. It would be a shame if something bad happened to the car a mere months after purchase and people saying "I told you so."
Thanks
