Our neighbor had one that he liked, but he ended up selling it simply because they didn't need it.

How many miles? What shape is it in?

condition is decent, was cheap because 170k on it. However the 2.0 zetec is a good motor, and it had complete maintenance history.

I have been pretty impressed at the space layout of the escape platform, a very roomy small crossover vehicle. This variant is 240D simple to maintain.

Some rust to fix,a rip in the seat, and removal of truly awful tinting job, and this is a DD for the next couple years at least.

Ive been keeping my eye out for one ever since I came across this escape version at work. Guy has 350k on his and treats it like crap. still drove it every day.

Came with a bonus CD of Notorious BIG in the stereo.

Nice! I didn't realize those came in a 5 speed. Is it AWD/4WD?

I don't think that Jooseppi was naming a model, but was providing a recommendation...

I was checking those out for a while before getting the rx8. They're super cheap. Why such a high depreciation? I know one of the focus engines was generally problematic but I don't know how that crosses to the escape. The escape (not the new ones) are such a great size and pretty comfortable.

It is front wheel drive only!

Not sure if the 5 speed was available in awd or 4wd

Argh. Busted by the near-psychic P.C. again. Story of my life.

Not sure why they are so cheap. My understanding is there are two 2.0 engine variants, the 2.0 zetec is reliable, but the other version had the valve seat dropping issue.

Definitely enjoying the size for sure. Gonna see how long i can keep this going, need something for future family reasons.

Ooh, I just saw the perfect family vehicle today: 5-speed Previa. RWD, Mid-engined 5-speed minivan.

Until you need to work on that mid-engine!

Happy Motoring, Mark
