I have a N/A 2014 Flex SEL FWD with all the trimmings and I love it as a daily ride. Mine has about 87k miles on it. I bought it with 68k miles and knew it had spent its entire life in the dry, salt and ice free Arizona climate. It must have been garaged or kept out of the sun because the paint shined like a mirror when Carvana delivered it. I get it serviced 1/year at the ford dealer, 5W-20 Ford semi-synthetic . It grew up in Arizona and it has spent the last ~4 years up here in the northeast. I try to never drive it in snow or if the roads are salt covered, no frame or body rust, none.
Fords are,I believe, unique in that the Ford pass phone app lets you view detailed Ford car service records for services done by a Ford dealer. I’m able to see the dealer service history back to the day it was sold as a new car, ~8 years before I owned it. I see the Ford dealer service records done in Arizona and then it shows service records under my ownership. All that is required is the VIN number. You may want to search the app to confirm the claimed Ford dealer service records you mentioned.
It has been trouble free but I’m not dealing with AWD with the PTU and two turbos. Carvana tells me my car is worth maybe $6500. I’d buy it again, a very, very comfortable long drive hauler. I drove it from Marco Island Florida to the NY area last September in one long 20 hour non-stop drive except for gas. Averaged 22.5 mpg and driven 70+ the whole way.
