I switch brands to try out all cars.

So far I've only REALLY liked old Fords (70-80s), semi-old Mercs (up to 95), old Toyotas and a select few VAG cars. I've managed to get very high mileage on all the ones I've had (6).

I also choose cars based on availability/price on parts. I used to work as a mechanic in a garage, now I work at a wreckyard, so I get most parts free, or extremely cheap.

I also tend NOT to look at how far a car has gone, but if I were to buy another Focus (I won't though), I'd make sure to get all of the service history along with a ton of lucky charms.

Has anyone ever had a fuel pump fail after 200k only? This is the first car I've had failing so fast.

Regardless of what you all say though; I'd recommend people not to buy a Focus, and I for one, won't ever buy one again.

You're thinking of Dexcool. "Dextron" is a type of transmission fluid.
