The 2012 Ford Fiesta sits at a median price of $4,364 in the Canadian market right now, with most cars landing between $3,700 and $6,874. That's a wide band for a small car, and it tells you the money hinges on condition and how the previous owner treated it more than anything else.
The median odometer reading is 172,168 km. So the typical Fiesta you'll find here has already put in serious years on the road. At the $3,700 end you're looking at a higher-km or rougher example. Push toward $6,874 and you should expect one that's been babied, with paperwork to back it up.
What to actually pay
If you're paying above the $4,364 median, make the seller earn it. A car in the top half of that range needs to justify the extra $2,500 over the floor price with clean maintenance records and low wear. Anything asking north of $6,874 is priced above the pack, and the burden's on them to show why.
We've flagged 4 deals on this year in the last 90 days. That's not a flood, so when a Fiesta drops below the $3,700 mark and checks out on inspection, it's worth moving on rather than waiting for the next one.
