If you're in the market for a roomy, distinctive family hauler that won't drain your bank account, this 2014 Ford Flex SEL Sport Utility for sale at Siry Motors San Diego in San Diego, CA is exactly the kind of find worth driving across town for. Priced at just $5,977, this silver AWD Flex delivers three rows of passenger space, a proven V6 engine, and a head-turning boxy silhouette that still turns heads over a decade after its release.

The silver exterior is clean and universally appealing, and the SEL trim sits comfortably above the base SE, meaning this Flex was well-equipped from the factory. For a buyer who needs maximum seating capacity and cargo flexibility on a budget, this vehicle punches well above its $5,977 asking price.
The Flex's unique wagon-inspired body design means it doesn't sacrifice headroom or cargo space chasing aerodynamics, and that translates to genuinely usable three-row seating — something a lot of competitors get wrong.2014 Ford Flex SEL Performance and Engine Under the hood sits Ford's 3.5-liter V6, paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift manual mode. This powertrain produces around 287 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque in its naturally aspirated form — more than adequate for carrying a full load of passengers and gear through San Diego's mix of freeway stretches, coastal surface streets, and canyon climbs.
The all-wheel-drive system on this Flex adds meaningful confidence in wet conditions — useful during San Diego's rainy season — and provides better traction when heading up to the mountains toward Julian or Big Bear for a weekend trip. The 6-speed SelectShift transmission allows manual gear selection when you want a little more driver engagement, and highway cruising is relaxed and quiet thanks to the Flex's substantial curb weight and well-insulated cabin.Ford Flex SEL Features and Interior The SEL trim was Ford's sweet spot in the Flex lineup, adding genuine comfort and convenience upgrades over the base model without reaching into EcoBoost Limited territory pricing. SEL buyers got features including Ford's SYNC infotainment system, a powered liftgate, leather-trimmed seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, and second-row captain's chairs that make the middle row a genuinely pleasant place to sit on longer drives.
With seating for up to seven passengers and a cargo area that expands significantly when the third row is folded, the Flex is one of the most practically packaged family SUVs of its era. The wide, flat roofline means kids in the back aren't ducking to get in, and the boxy interior translates to real usable space — not just numbers on a spec sheet.Ford Flex Reliability and Ownership The Ford Flex has a solid reputation among owners for durability and long-term dependability, particularly models equipped with the base 3.5-liter V6 (as opposed to the higher-strung EcoBoost variant). Consumer Reports and owner communities consistently note the Flex's relatively low cost of ownership, with major mechanical components proving robust over high mileage.
Common maintenance items to stay current on at this mileage include coolant system service, transmission fluid, spark plugs, and suspension bushings — all normal wear items for a vehicle in this range. The Flex benefits from Ford's widespread parts availability and an enormous network of independent and dealership service centers throughout San Diego County, keeping ownership costs reasonable.Why Buy From Siry Motors San Diego in San Diego, CA Siry Motors San Diego has built its reputation in
