Why are 2nd Hand Ecosports uber cheap?

Saw 2016 to 2017 Titanium models selling at just around 500-550k?

If you really want an ecosport, get the manual. Or you can get a brandnew facelifted ecosport since it uses a conventional auto transmission now.

I've heard similar fedback, esp. about their CVT transmissions.

I'm just thinking. Ford's warranty is usually for 5 years, transmission problems should be covered for that period...

Even with warranty though, that would mean you'd still have to deal with the transmission issues again in a few years (maybe even months) depending on how much you use the car. And that is not just money lost (especially if outside of warranty when it fails again), but also time lost in productivity.

Just my two cents on the matter.

I agree with opting for the Manual if it is available for the similar price point, if it really is the Ecosport they are eyeing.

even if there's warranty... didnt they stopped producing that transmission? how long will owners have to wait for a replacement?
