2013 Ford Focus value

By the DealScan team · Updated 2026-07-11

Quick answer

A 2013 Ford Focus in good condition with average mileage (about 162,500 miles) is worth roughly $3,950 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $3,650 to $4,250, or about $4,550 at a dealer. Note: 2013 is a flagged year for this model (2012–2016 (automatic)) — The PowerShift dual-clutch: shudder, clutch failures, TCM faults, class action. Only consider one with fresh documented clutch and module work. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.

What to check before you pay

  • 2012–2016 PowerShift (DPS6) automatic: shudder, slipping, delayed engagement, clutch and TCM failures; Ford extended coverage on clutches and control modules and settled a class action
  • 2017–2018 automatics are improved but use the same design; verify the latest clutch and TCM revisions were installed
  • TCM failure can put the car in limp mode without warning; a TCM recall applies to many 2012–2015 cars
