Why not look for a 12? Signifigant savings can be had as it is the last model. 10k would go a long way (read low miles) on a 12.

The 13+ looks better imo. The factory warranty will expire on the 13s very soon if they haven't already. That said I will price them and see what I find

I certainly agree the 13 looks better. $5k better for no major increase in reliability tho? Not IMO.

Is it really 5k? The 2014 SE in the OP is 15.2. I see a lot of them in the 13-14 range, a few 12ish but with slightly higher miles.

The current generation Fusion is 10x more attractive than the bland kind of ugly earlier generation. Pay for the newer generation version

I would go for the used one. It is cheaper and I'd not rely so much on warranty.

I see 10-12s around here for 10k with 30-60k miles. I certainly agree the newer one is MUCH nicer looking. I just like my wallet.
