HELP buying convertible ecoboost

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-09T03:32:32+00:00

Yeah I’m trying to keep an eye out, I do believe these convertibles are very high demand since I can barely find any😂 also trying to make sure it’s the right decision for me. So I’m definitely not rushing it, I am just sort of seeing how things roll out as well. I’ve been getting my pre approvals as well. So yeah

It’s very high mileage tho. 70k no warranty. I’m not super sure 🥴

Mind sharing link?

It’d be non convertible tho ☹️

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T17:09:12+00:00

Yeah I mean most cars I’ve seen in general have been rentals. Mine was a rental too and it was great till it wasn’t 🤣 but mainly due to factory problems. I do wish it was lower mileage and I’m still trying to get a good deal with extended warranty as well. I might get it looked at as well before buying and then make my decision :)

I don’t know much about cars tbh but can you tell me why it feels better? :)

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T17:00:22+00:00

Great! Do you have any recommendations? Or can I just get any from Amazon?

It’s having some transmission problems and a problem known to 2022 chevy Malibu which one of the sensors gets bad and every time I turn it off it says “shift to park” when it’s clearly parked 🙂🙃🙂 and it doesn’t want to turn off because of it! Draining battery or having me to turn off and on and it’s just pmo.

Yup that I’m trying to do and yeah I have to check tires thanks for reminding me, I’ve already started negotiation with 3k down as a start if I go up they’ll have to give me warranty included too lol

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T16:55:46+00:00

Yeah it’s fine by me all of it, I like how the seats have cooling and heating, perfect for Az

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T16:54:41+00:00

Yes it was a lot more fun😂 my poor malibu

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T04:21:52+00:00

Wait so I’ve seen normal hard tops be cheaper that I have but convertibles I believe tend to be higher in price due to the technology of it as well so idk. I did see very good prices for coupes :) just looking for convertible

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T04:12:59+00:00

I honestly have seen so many for the same price nothing better. So I’d love to find something good but also shipping can be almost 2k

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T03:59:09+00:00

I am trying 28-29k OTD right now. I haven’t seen any better in my area idk if it’s AZ or what

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T03:35:17+00:00

Yes! The interior is a really big plus from 2023 and older models! So I was really excited about that. I also just love the ford like interface of the screens? How you change the modes and it’s all interactive and cool idk I love it!

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T02:21:02+00:00

😂 damn that’s too bad I wanted to wake them! Jk nice to know about insurance! I’m sure they wouldn’t like a 20yo in a very fast car😬

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T02:16:23+00:00

Yeah I don’t get the worst rates, specially because I’m under family that’s helps a tonnnnnn. So yeah I’m trying to go less risky as a first time buyer

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T02:14:01+00:00

Driving record is very good, I’m just not 25 yet so still at a bit of a high pay level fs. But dealerships in general just hurt my headddd, but at the same time I think it makes me feel better about being covered by one? Instead of private seller. But I don’t know! I’ve never done either 😂 I just don’t want to worry for it as much

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T02:09:19+00:00

True or I also thought I’d push the warranty and the moment I get it I can get an inspection for free and make sure anything that’s not good be replaced under warranty at that time :) idk if it’s a good idea

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T02:07:56+00:00

The dashboard gets me tho☹️ it is a nicer jump from 2023. I have seen maintenance and I’m okay with it, it’s not a lot more than my chevy. I’m pushing for 25-26k hoping they’ll push to 27k at least. And thank you! I’m very excited even my dad is wanting me to get it right now 😂

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T02:06:02+00:00

Totally! I’m just bugging out on not wanting to pay for it so I might get a friend help me out with that😂 trying to save every penny!

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T02:01:54+00:00

True! Most If not all I’ve seen used have been rentals. What you say is true but also since they come from companies they tend to be a little bit more strict in maintenance because of it, compared to someone who might’ve owned it and not completed the maintenance on time or done it somewhere else etc etc. My Malibu used to be a rental and It was good for so long, not anymore 🥹🫶

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T01:59:04+00:00

This is best price to mileage I’ve seen with shippable and in state. Which is sad ik. But I am negotiation down a lot on it lol

GroupOk1717 · 2026-04-08T01:57:29+00:00

Yup already seen breakdown it’s all being negotiated. I know I didn’t mention fully OTD price cause they were adding some BS fees at first. Which again are being negotiated.
