Priced against similar-sized cars in the same class, bought from the dealership, the prices are the same when compared to dealership prices of other brands.

What people are saying when they say Ford parts are expensive comes from the misconception that all Fords are American-sourced cars and that the parts have to be imported.

This is true of some parts for American-built cars like the Explorer, Expedition and E150. But for ASEAN-European models like the Ranger, Everest and Lynx, there are cheap supplies available at various outside automotive suppliers. Focus parts are more expensive than Lynx parts, but similar to the cost of Civic parts.

The same people who say Ford parts are expensive will tell you that you can buy Toyota parts anywhere. Yeah, you can. If they're pre-Altis Corolla or Revo taxis. They've never had to search for VVTi engine parts or common maintenance items for the old Camry 2.2.

Depends on the parts and year model you are looking for...if it's the latest model, then I think its quite expensive and you have to buy it directly at your favorite dealer. Been sourcing some parts lately and I was surprised to hear that Banawe is more expensive than the dealers price. This is because they also source the parts from the dealers themselves and they have to consider also their margin.

Research first in the Internet. Got a good buy when I did that, just to show you an example of what I have replaced:

Original Ford Headlight:
From Internet sourcing - 4K each
Banawe retailers - 6.5K each
Dealer - 6 K each

This will give you an idea the pricing range.

Ah. That's cosmetic parts... but electrical and mechanical parts are cheaper from Banawe.

How expensive are the Focus' flexible (frameless) wiper blades?

How expensive are the Focus' flexible (frameless) wiper blades?

For the high-end brand (Bosch - banana type) wiper blades I think it's around 1,6++ each. But the problem with that is that they are shorter as compared to the originally installed wiper (the max. length I saw was 25", I think, and it doesn't even specify exactly Ford Focus in the vehicle type). Try to measure your wiper blades to be exact. You can find these at ACE, True Value & Handyman if you want to compare prices.

Price from the dealers varies...last time I asked it was around P3,+++ for a pair.

Hi! Im not sure if you are familiar with Benavidez St. in Manila. But there is a Bosch Dealer store in there. They do have the Bosch Aero Twin Wiper Blades for the Ford Focus. Its exactly the same as the OEM. I think they only sell it for 1,800 a pair. Thats what i installed on my Focus TDCi.

For Older models maybe...but not the latest ones.

The focus is assembled in sta. rosa, so most of the parts do not need to be imported.

Hahaha. Tumatawa nalang ako pag tinatanong kung mahal imaintain ang ranger namin. Dirt cheap, compared to our TOYOTA innova, that's for sure.

There's this another floating myth that ALL ford cars are gas guzzlers.

Actually, hearsay lang sinasabi ng mga di nakakaintindi na mahal parts ng Ford, Nissan, since we have owned various models of these brands. Comparative and competitive naman spare parts price of Asian Fords and Nissan with other Japanese brands. They might get surprised that spare parts price (even replacement) of Honda, Hyundai are more expensive than Ford, Nissan. I've experienced so many times when canvassing parts, some Honda owners are shocked to find the price of parts they are looking especially underchassis and electrical parts.

Sir, it's a gas guzzler. and it's at least 15 years old. might not be worth it.

Hi guys. From what I read, parang some of you are Ford loyals. So tanong ko lang... musta reliability nyo? I mean, yes, the Focus is from Sta Rosa and the upcoming Fiesta is from Thailand, but because it's not Japanese, feel ko lang na it may not be as reliable as say, the Thai-made Jazz. How much is your PMS and how many unexpected things go wrong for you guys?

Someone defend Ford!!
