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. At this price point in San Diego County, a three-row SUV with all-wheel drive is genuinely rare.

About This 2014 Ford Flex SEL

This 2014 Ford Flex SEL comes in at 173,964 miles — high, yes, but entirely appropriate for a well-built Ford crossover that buyers routinely drive past 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2014 Ford Flex SEL a good buy at high mileage?

Yes — the 2014 Ford Flex with the naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 is known for durability well past 150,000 miles. With routine maintenance, many owners report reaching 200,000 to 250,000 miles without major mechanical failures. At $5,977, this Flex offers exceptional space and capability per dollar.
 

How many miles is too many on a Ford Flex?

With proper maintenance history, a Ford Flex is not considered "worn out" at 173,000 miles. The 3.5-liter V6 and 6-speed automatic are proven, long-lived units. A pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic is always a smart move at this mileage, but the platform itself is well-regarded for longevity.
 

What does the Ford Flex SEL trim include?

The SEL trim adds over the base SE: leather-trimmed seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, a powered liftgate, second-row captain's chairs, Ford SYNC, and upgraded interior materials. It's the trim level that makes the Flex feel like a legitimate family premium hauler rather than a stripped work vehicle.
 

Does the 2014 Ford Flex have AWD?

Yes — this specific example is equipped with all-wheel drive, making it more capable in wet conditions and on light off-road terrain than the front-wheel-drive base models. AWD also adds resale appeal and versatility for buyers who occasionally venture outside of city driving.
 

Is the Ford Flex good for families?

Absolutely. The Flex was specifically engineered to compete with minivans on interior space while maintaining the SUV exterior styling many families prefer. Three rows of seating, an enormous cargo hold, and the ability to comfortably fit a family of seven make it one of the most family-practical crossovers of its generation.
