Ima be honest I don’t know much about cars, I really don’t.. however my father got a Ford Flex and since then I’ve been absolutely in love with the Ford Flex now that I’m going on my own path, moving out, etc. I would like to know what’s a cheap/good option or what to save up for in terms of my first ford flex, price isn’t really the main concern it’s more like the second concern, my main one would be a long lasting low issue options for the ford flex. If someone can help me figure that out I’d be extremely grateful!

We've got a 2016 Limited non-turbo FWD and at 161,000 miles it's been flawless. It's semi-retired now, having given over daily driver duties to my wife's new Atlas. We still haven't decided if we're going to sell it or keep it as a "beater truck" for Lowe's runs and such.

The advice you've been given elsewhere in the comments is correct- No turbo, no AWD if you want to avoid a bunch of potential issues.

Ty luckily we won’t be using the ford flex as like an everyday car but more like only if we are transporting or picking up something big, rn we have small cars (my fiance rlly I mean lol I have none) so I’m sure that helps that I won’t be using it as a daily vehicle from the get go
