The 2017 Ford Fusion sits at a median of $12,980 in the Canadian market right now. Most cars land between $10,999 and $13,950, so that band is your reality check. Pay under $11k and you're at the low end. Push past $14k and you'd better be getting a loaded trim or unusually low kilometres to justify it.
The typical car on the market has about 134,000 km on it. That's the number the median price is built around, so a Fusion showing 90,000 km should cost more than one showing 180,000, and the spread isn't small once you do the math.
What kilometres actually cost you
Every extra 10,000 km knocks roughly $316 off the asking price. Run that out and the difference between a 100,000 km car and a 180,000 km car works out to around $2,500, most of the width of that typical range. So a higher-mileage Fusion priced near the top of the band is the one to walk away from. A lower-mileage one at the same number is where the value hides.
Trim is where this year gets interesting. The Titanium runs a $15,124 median, the priciest of the bunch, with a range that starts at $13,625. The Sport isn't far behind at $13,998. The SE, the volume trim, sits at $12,452 and stretches down to $10,999 at the low end.
Here's the twist: the Platinum, usually the top-of-the-line badge, shows the lowest median at $10,995. Its range tops out at $12,899, below where the Titanium even begins. If you want the most content per dollar on a 2017 Fusion, a well-kept Platinum near its median is the sharpest play on the board.
