These two model years aren’t the cheapest Ford Fusions you can find. Used prices typically range between $10,100 and $13,500, but they are some of the safest and most reliable ones. Both years also see some of the lowest amounts of consumer complaints, which means your annual repair costs should be fairly low, or at least average.
If you have a larger budget to work with, you might consider the 2018 Ford Fusion, which has the least amount of consumer complaints of any model year—just keep in mind that it’s only been out for about five years, so there’s still plenty of time for problems to arise.
