hey guys i want a nice little beater for the winter and i'm looking at a 4 door sedan focus with 140,000km and its a 2000. I wanted to know after such a high milage what do you think are the next things to go on the car? By experience4 what are the possible problems i will have.

thank you very much!

I don't know. There isn't really a lot of Foci with that many km yet, so it's hard to tell.
If it's a 2000 sedan, probably everything will go wrong

You're in unexplored territory with that kind of mileage (kilometerage?)on it. Check to make sure all the recalls have been done and roll with it. The only good thing is that anything that was put together poorly by the factory should have already broken so you should be good to go.

Just remembered, it's due for a timing belt if it hasn't been changed already.

its cause one of the Ford dealers is selling about 40 of them at like the equivalent of 4,000$ USD, so at that price i have to jump on the deal, hell i could just buy a new engine next year if it goes bad.
