looking at buying a focus between 4 - 6 years old. is the anything
particular to look for when i view the cars?
were there any recalls that should have been done ?
seen a six year old diesel for sale with 33k on the clock are the diesels
good engines?

If your looking in the US don't get a 2000 model, their lemons on wheel.

He must be in Europe, as diesels aren't offered in America.

To the original poster, 33km on a 6 year old car?  I'd be a little
suspicious.  The 6 year old diesel is a rather primitive motor.  I would try
to get yourself into a later TDCi car (2002 model introduction, I think).
It is much quieter, smoother, and more powerful.

I'll probably look into a Focus in the US, I was thinking somewhere on
the lines of 2001-2002-2003 model. Although price will be the
determining factor. Is there any reason statistically to prefer
any particular year? I mean as far as problems go, or should I just
pick the one that's in the best overall condition, and has the
best price?
