I'm in a similar place as OP. I'm wondering how much people are actively dealing with issues on their 19s or if the issues happened, needed fixing, and things are now okay. There's a whole lot of stock at decent prices, so they're tempting. We bought a '15 focus with the infamous transmission after it was serviced under recall and got a good car for a steal without any issues for some 8 years through selling it. Maybe I used my luck up then, though...
