Tips on buying used Escape - Ford Forums

shasta_shea · 04-09-2008, 11:28

I'm looking into buying an 02 Escape and want to get feedback from any current owners. It's got 135,000 miles on it and they're asking $5,200 for it. Just want to know if it's a good deal or if i'm in for any surprises if i end up buying.

Thanks

Hi, you should check Kelly blue book (kbb.com) and also edmunds.com to see what other users have said. I have a feeling the 02 with that many miles on it might have issues with the transmission. I would go for an 05 or later if you can afford one. To me, unless its been looked after well it sounds expensive, but then again what do i know lol.
