Hi from NJ, Looking to buy 2023 ST with 38k miles for 39k

Looking for some advice. I'm Looking to buy 2023 ST with 38k miles for 39k. New Tires & brakes dealer certified with a Ford 1 year 12k mile bumper to bumper warranty. Do you guys think it's a good deal? Anything I should look for before I buy? Thank you!

Take it for a good long test drive and really pay attention to the way it shifts. If it’s harsh, move on. If you buy it, get an extended warranty. I purchased my 22 last fall with 53k miles and had transmission issues. New transmission at 60k for $8000. The extended warranty covered it. I’m not totally regretting the purchase, but it better be dependable for a while. I won’t be beating on it. It feels brittle to me. Maybe it’s just perception. Good luck.

Thanks Berky! Appreciate your advice, I will definitely be purchasing a Ford extended warranty!

Thanks

Not a bad deal if that’s OTD price.

What does the car history say?

Thanks EDWYER, clean CARFAX, 1 owner & service history show no issues, just oil changes and basic maintenance. Has a 1 year 12K miles Ford bumper to bumper warranty that I will extend to 5yrs 125k miles.
