Is a 2012 Ford Fiesta with 38,000 miles for $10,000, a good buy?

No, especially if it has an automatic transmission.

Wow that's 70% of brand new price, and it's 11 years old, for a car that doesn't age well. That seller is fishing for suckers.

Welcome new member! I agree with @chucktobias.
Here's a good rule of thumb:
- Cars to buy big but not small: Ford, GM, Mercedes, RAM
- Cars to buy small but not big: BMW, Subaru, Mazda, Porsche
- Cars to buy big or small: Toyota, Honda, Lexus, Acura
- Cars to buy neither: Tesla, Fiat/Alfa, VW, Nissan/Infiniti, Kia/Hyundai, LR/Jaguar, Volvo
Of course there are lots of individual models that buck this trend. But I think it's true until proven otherwise.
