How much is a used 2009 Ford Focus worth?

My daughter is moving overseas for a job. When I asked her if I could help, she wanted to know if I could sell her 2009 Ford Focus for her. I’ve sold cars in the past, but not for a long time, so I want to get the price right—how much is a 2009 Ford Focus worth?

You’re doing a great job helping out your daughter! As far as a price goes, a used 2009
Ford Focus
is worth about $4,800.
However, your Ford Focus might be worth something else. Numerous factors determine the value of a used car, but most notably these aspects:
  • Mechanical condition
  • Cosmetic condition
  • If the car has been in an accident
  • Trim level (S, SE, SEL, or SES)
  • Optional equipment and features
  • Mileage
Mileage is probably the most significant factor in the price of a used car, so if you want to get a fair value, use an online vehicle valuation tool. These allow you to get a fair value in just minutes and are free to use. Some of the more popular options are:
  • Edmunds
  • National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)
  • TrueCar
  • AutoTrader
Once you sell the car, remind your daughter to
cancel her insurance
so she isn’t paying money for something she doesn’t need.
While you’re helping your daughter out, you might want to do something nice for yourself afterward. Pull out your car insurance policy, review it, and shop around for better rates with the top-rated
