Loved this Car!

I bought the XLT FWD in 2005 with a few thousand miles on it, and had a great run with it. I just turned it in, with 132k miles on it, for a 2013 Escape SEL, and hope it's as reliable as this one was!

Great mid sized SUV

Great used car! Unfortunately, already had to replace brakes and will need 4 new tires by the winter! Still love my "new" car.

Best Car Ever

I bought this car after test driving a 2012 (which I couldn't afford at the time) and I am absolutely in LOVE with it!!!!!! The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of leg room. It is the perfect family car for my small family of 3. The storage area in the back has plenty of room to put groceries and was also able to purchase my patio chairs and bring them home in my Escape without having to put the back seat down.

A Great Car

I am impressd that a car with 125000 miles that is 7 yrs old can be so tight and rattle free. Has great pick-up and handling also.
