Should I buy a used Ford Fusion now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2019 model is at −7.8% versus a year ago, and the 2018 model is at −8.23%.
• Deal availability: The 2019 model has 28.8% good and great deals, and the 2018 model has 28.5%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2019 model has the most listings at a current average price of $12,715. The Ford Fusion offers a roomy cabin and a comfortable ride that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Yes, this car is fast. Based on testing conducted by enthusiast publications, it will get to 60 mph in a few ticks over 5 seconds. However, you should know that I got just 20.6 mpg on my test loop and that this car makes its maximum power and torque using pricey 93-octane fuel.
• Tech: Getting back to Sync 3, it supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Sync Connect service with a FordPass app and a Wi-Fi hotspot, Siri Eyes Free, audible text messaging, and 911 Assist service following a collision.
• Safety: Ford offers the usual laundry list of safety, driver-assistance, and collision-avoidance features for the 2018 Fusion.
• Starting price: The Fusion Sport’s price starts at $34,625.

If you're buying used today, the 2019 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2021 inventory to mature.
