i am thinking of purchasing a focus c-max with 84k on the clock, it starts and smokes heavily, but when warm runs cleanly and well, would like to knoe if this is gonna be an expensive fix or just routine maintenance, the car has full service history and is otherwise very good condition! --- to buy or not to buy????

Depends on the colour of the smoke when first started.

This will give you a better idea of what to expect...
Hope this helps in making your decision...

it will most likely be the egr valve (exhaust gas recirculation)not a very exspensive fix.
