PRIVATE buyers are flocking to Ford used cars, according to pricing experts Plex Publishing.

John Coates, editorial director, Plex Publishing, said: 'Used Fords are back as the number one choice for private buyers and almost every model is strong in the market, with several rising fast. Focus remains the Ford that refuses to depreciate and increasing numbers of buyers are being tempted by its sheer excellence and the growing belief that their money will be as safe in Focus as any model on the market.'
