Used 2012 Ford Escape for Sale in Winchester, MA

Before I tell my story I just want to Say that Big Joe is amazing and I consider myself lucky to have worked with him. My day started with a 1.5 hour drive to the Auto Mile to look at some Honda Pilots at Big dealerships. At each one I was Cattle Prodded through their "process". No fun! Then a GREAT deal on a 2015 Pilot popped up on CarGurus. It was 20 miles away and at a used car dealer called Huggard & Ewing - wearily I left the big dealers and went to take a look - so glad I did! I met Big Joe right at the front door. Told him what I was there to see and he let me know it had just come in and was yet to be serviced for sale - they service all the cars before sale and Chris in service is super thoughrough. It turns out the car was three miles away and without knowing ANYHTING about me or my finances (and without trying to convince me to look at other cars on the lot) Big Joe grabbed the keys to a Lincoln and said "jump in, let's go see that truck". Joe and I wandered around and inspected the Pilot in the pouring rain then I took it for a drive, the truck was great and I put down a deposit with plans to pick it up 3 days later before a 10 day driving vacation. Joe and I also connected on a personal front as we determined during our drive our families have some mutual friends. The day before pick up I got a call from Joe who was concerned that when in Drive the differential lock feature (full time 4wd vs AWD) was not kicking in and he didn't want me to take the car until it was figured out. So, still under warranty it was off to Honda. I was leaving for 10 days the following day and expressed concern to Joe about the timing and deposit. He said "enjoy your vacation, the Pilot will be here when you get back, if you don't want it then you get your deposit back." It turned out that the differential was JUST FINE, Joe And I did not know it had to be in D2 verses Drive to kick in (basically only to be used if your stuck and need the low gear power and traction). Ok, we learned something and it was operator error :) The amazing thing is that Joe and H&E management held that perfectly ready (and incredibly priced) truck on the lot nearly 2 weeks until I returned! Not many (if any) used car dealerships would do that! Big Joe is honest, trustworthy, and truly a customer advocate - something that is hard to find in any profession! The rest of the team did great work on the vehicle and made sure EVERYTHING was great the day I arrived, Thanks to Chris and the whole H&E team. This is probably the third review I have ever written, but the team there deserves the props!

Love the vehicle; exactly what I was looking for. Fit my needs perfectly, super clean and exactly what was described to me over the phone. Super low miles too. Crystal was amazing to work with, honest all the way. Quick and easy. Don’t buy from anyone else. McCarty’s is definitely the place to go and I recommend to everyone. I will definitely be back and won’t go anywhere else.

I’ve known Rick for over 21 years. I purchased my first car from him back in 2000 and was very happy with the car and the service. Last year (2017) I brought my son there to purchase his first starter car. Rafael was very helpful and my son was very happy. Recently Rafael helped me again and I purchased a car for myself. I told him what I wanted and he delivered. BEST PLACE EVER!

This car is amazing and great. Lacks on gas mileage compared to what I am used to but handling over the winter weather is amazing. Best vehicle I have ever had for Ohio weather.

Hi, I work for the auction, that the civic was purchased from. The dealer was unaware of the title issue at the time of the purchase. Green Leaf should not be held responsible for the delay on the title.

Great looking. Miller did an outstanding job in prepping it for my purchase. I like sitting higher up to see down the road. Sharp interior.

My experience with Tony at JC Auto Sales was excellent. I have been shopping for a used car for my son for 4 months, and visited almost a dozen different used car dealers. Tony and the staff at JC were BY FAR the most professional and honest people I dealt with during the process. From my first visit, to the test drive, thru the follow-up process, to the final negotiations and agreement on the work to be done prior to purchase - Tony was professional, courteous, respectful, honest and very proactive in his communication. He got all the work done on the car we wanted, and was fair in negotiation the final price. He also let me take the car off his lot, to my mechanic 30 miles away - have my mechanic inspect it, and then return the car 5 hours later. All the work my mechanic stated that needed to be done, Tony got done. No issues, no snark, no dishonest behavior. My son is now the proud owner of a Mazda CX9 that we bought from Tony - and I can't thank Tony enough for how great he was during the entire process. The used car business is a tough business - with a lot of shady characters out there. Tony is truly the exception. If you value honesty, professionalism, courtesy and respect in the car buying process - do yourself a favor and check out JC Auto Sales. Based on my experience - and I am a tough man to please - I can't recommend them highly enough.

Haven't had it long enough to say what reliability is but love the truck like ride. Love the features also. Gas mileage could b better but not bad.

My car died last week and I needed to buy a new car on a very short notice. I saw an amazing deal for a 2017 Chevy Cruze (priced way below market value with very low mileage--essentially it was like buying a brand new car), and went in on Memorial Day to check it out. Before I get deeper into my review, I just want to say that I'm the kind of guy that spends a lot of time doing research whenever it comes to any big purchase--I spent hours upon hours the few days prior to my visit checking out similar prices, looking at reviews of the car, looking at reviews of dealerships in the area, weighing the pros and cons of standard vehicles vs. hybrid vs. electric...I could go on for days. The part of my research that was really jarring and disappointing was when I looked into people's experiences at dealerships, which were often quite horrible. I read horror stories about people spending multiple hours at a dealership with extremely rude customer services reps and salespeople, and then either getting scammed into spending thousands of dollars more than they had been told they would or leaving without a car they were promised. I read hundreds of reviews that went like that, for a bunch of random dealerships in Eastern Massachusetts. When I had almost given up on finding a good dealership, a family member recommended I check out Huggard & Ewing after seeing the car online and speaking to the owner (Chris O'Neill), and at this point I was in a rush to get a car quickly, so we skidaddled out the door before I had a chance to read any customer service reviews. Based on reviews of other dealerships, my expectations walking in were extremely low. As you can probably tell by my 5-star rating, my expectations were vastly exceeded. My family and I were very quickly greeted by Big Joe and other very friendly members of the staff in the main area, and Big Joe helped set me up to test drive my car of interest. After the test drive, he was very honest and helpful in laying out my options, listening to my worries about the car and addressing them very professionally, and he let me make my own decisions about what was best for me financially. That was probably my favorite thing about BigJoe. He totally had the opportunity to try and up-sell me on another (significantly more expensive) car my family really liked, but he chose to be honest and laid out for me why the Chevy Cruze was very clearly the better deal. After deciding I wanted to purchase, I worked with Susan to work out an interest rate for the payments (she was great too), and Big Joe promised me that after being serviced, it would be ready for pickup the next evening. The whole process was quick and easy, I was in and out of there within 2 and a half hours. Big Joe delivered on his promise, and I was able to pick up the vehicle the next day and do a license plate swap there as well. He did all the paperwork needed to get the car registered properly, even filled my tank for me, and within two days I was all set to be on the road with my (essentially) new car. If I had to mention one other thing, it's that he and Chris gave me a more than reasonable value for the car I was trading in. I highly recommend Huggard & Ewing to anyone looking to buy a car--their customer service will not disappoint, and they truly have some of the best prices in the area (sometimes by FAR, especially in the case of my car).

I was looking to replace an aging 2007 Forester with another Forester but after test driving a used 2012 Escape with the older body style and the V6 3.0 engine I began to be attracted to the classic looks, powerful engine, and overall solidity of the vehicle. So I looked around for a couple of weeks wanting the top Limited I finally settled on the XLT with V6, leather, moonroof, and SYNC. So far so good and the gas mileage is not bad. There is still E85 gas around and this vehicle is a FLEX vehicle so I could use the E85 gas but have not tried it yet. The one immediate difference between the 2012 Escape and other current SUVs including Ford's own Escape is the more truck like feel. But that's what I like about it!

Key to start car has been nothing but trouble, Have to push key in hard and twist around until it engages ... Hate it, wife hates it.. Believe that this problem is in any Escapes for many years . Ford should recall these immediately... I won,t buy another Escape just because of this...

I BOUGHT A 2008 VOVLO S-40 FOR MY DAUGHTER IT LOOKS AND DRIVES LIKE A NEW CAR , THE PRICE AND VALUE WERE GREAT AND DAVE AND HIS STAFF WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY CUSTOMER FRIENDLY, I WOULD REFER THEM TO ALL MY FRIENDS !!!

I love the body style and it has been most dependable and comfortable. My first Ford Escape, I drove 11 years and when I traded it in it looked brand new.

Fast response. Sales person was informative and polite. Scheduled appointment on the same day.

Was pretty but corroding quickly, owned it 1 1/2 yrs and was only a little rust when purchased , now it is becoming covered from hood to tailgate

This dealership was top notch! Rafael went above and beyond to make sure I purchased the truck I was most comfortable with. He gave me suggestions and his advice, but was in no way pushy what-so-ever. After I decided on a truck the process was absolutely painless. So quick and professional. I felt like family by the end of the whole process! I would recommend The garage (Rafael in particular) to anyone who is looking for a used vehicle.

I love this style, (2012 & older). It's a great small SUV. Goes through snow really well too! Also, plenty of cargo space. I wish I could keep buying brand new 2012 Escapes!

Not only I was approved instantly with no credit, they approved me for a car a really wanted. Great car, great deal. Recommended!

Searched for this specific model due to its petite size that stil( provides basic suv features for senior driver (height, interior creature comforts: heated leather seating, parking sensors & back up camera among others). This body style is perfect for shopping trips & hauling...rear cargo area is convenient height for load/unload of groceries & etc., & long items like trim from The Home Depot can poke out of rear window of cargo area no problem!

Big Joe is the guy to go to when buying your car. Very positive and honest . Got me into a clean cadilliac quick and easy . Hands down best salesman wouldn???t go to anyone else from now on 🙌🏽

The car we purchased from open source is just what we needed for my wife to travel to and from work, it fits the needs that we were looking for in a vehicle.

Well... in all honesty, I'm not the easiest guy to sell a car to because I used to be in the car business and I'm numb to the used car game AND all the tricks. My wife found a VW Touareg (SUV) that had been advertised on Craig's List being sold by Auto Sales Express. Even though I HATED the thought of buying a car from a retail dealer, I read the other Google Reviews and had to admit I was pretty impressed. Skeptical... but impressed! We live in Swampscott so it was a lonnnnnng drive to Whitman but off we went. I have to admit, it was partially to shut her up about it. (i know, sad but true. Lol). We got to their dealership and the lot was packed with high end cars. They definitely had an impressive inventory of cars. I was all set to meet Eugene when Alex introduced himself and said Eugene was taking a day off to spend with his family. Even though I had mentally prepared to meet and negotiate with Eugene, Alex was obviously smart, knew what he was talking about. To be honest, the car business is a time consuming business and I was glad Eugene was spending the day with his wife and family. My wife was even more impressed than me. She pointed out how clean the cars were and how much she liked that Alex was low key. I had to agree but still didn't expect we would actually purchase a car from them. She wanted the Touareg but I convinced her to look at and drive an X3. "I HATE BMW's" .... was her response but I convinced her to JUST drive it before she decided. Wellllll... even though she ONLY did it to please me, she drove it and loved it... and now SHE WANTED IT. Ugh!! The X3 was a 2006 and had 105,000 (!!!!!!!!!) miles on it.... and this went against EVERYTHING I would normally do. Yes, the car was very clean and seemed to be in excellent condition for having that many miles on it but now I was stuck. I was going to have to buy this car. I tried to negotiate and yes, they did come down a little on the price... but not nearly as much as i wanted or had hoped. i had read in Milena Mladenova's Google Review that they didn't negotiate much... and it was true. I even told them I was paying CASH which didn't really change the price much. In hindsight, I thought the price was fair but it wasn't the cheap deal i had been hoping for. But here is where a 'good' deal turned into a MUCH greater deal. AFTER YOU PAY THE MONEY you see the TRUE character of someone. We had a 30 day warranty but I'm used to the "sorry that's not covered" story but I can proudly say that did NOT happen with these guys. To be perfectly honest, they even fixed a few things that were specifically NOT on the list of items covered... and I didn't have to 'convince them' or talk them into it. They just cheerfully did it. All in all, I believe these guys to be of the very highest integrity. I would send my mother or sister to them WITHOUT feeling the need to be with them for fear of them being taken advantage of. Auto Sales Express in Whitman is a special place and owned by a very unique man with very high integrity. Eugene, Alex and the rest of the staff are pretty unusual and I give this place my highest recommendation. On a side note... for almost 20 years I've been a business consultant by profession so beeeeeeeeelieve me, i wouldn't give this kind of review unless it was true. I get paid to notice details and from what I can see, this is the right place to purchase a car. I couldn't have been more pleased with our transaction... and those are words I don't say very often. This place, Eugene, Alex and the rest of the staff are special.... and i'm certain... VERY CERTAIN... you will agree.

This vehicle has met our needs and then some. We feel blessed to have this vehicle. It runs great. We like the extras that it has

Great cross country drive and ride. Very roomy. Good car for new driver. Great for hauling stuff. The rear seats fold down and give lots of space.

I have purchased several vehicles and routinely have my cars serviced at Old Rock Motors. They are competent, honest, professional, and friendly. I have done business with the owner, Craig, Sr., for decades and have absolutely no complaints. His son, Craig, Jr., is also knowledgeable and goes out of his way to be helpful. The other mechanics, Fran and Bob, are also very friendly and do quality repairs. It is refreshing to see people who actually care to do good work!! All in all, Old Rock Motors is an EXCELLENT place to do business.

This car does everything I need it to do and is great on gas without losing the speed I need. I love that my German Shepherd can fit in here with no problems.

Rich was a nice guy and was very laid back. We are in the process of buying and he did not pressure us in any way.

I traded a 2006 Focus on my 2012 Ford Explorer Limited 2.5l 4 cylinder 6 Speed AWD Auto and so far so good. It's completely loaded except it doesn't have nav or the V-6. One owner with 146,657 miles. (Which coincidentally is the exact same mileage I bought the 2006 focus 2.0 with 4 years ago) hard to believe but the Escape gets 22.3 miles per gallon average for me, but the focus only got 21.0. The six-speed automatic makes all the difference i guess. I haven't been able to test the air conditioning yet as it is winter time so I can't report on that. But when I can report is this vehicle a month shy of 7 years old with 146 k on it runs and drives almost like a brand new car. It's going to need tires in a couple months but the tires that are on it are worn very evenly, and here's the best part and the main reason I bought the vehicle ..I could Not find one single thing wrong with it! (and I looked at over 15 vehicles before my purchace every single one of them had at least four or five issues). No shakes no check engine lights brakes are smooth. It does ride a little on the stiff side but that's fine by me because the roads where I live are rough and can bottom out the suspension on many vehicles but this vehicle handles them just fine. Also virtually zero rust to report and this is a Pennsylvania vehicle. (However it was garage kept). Has a lot of highway miles on it. Paid just over five grand but looking at book values on it I did well. Oh and I have put 1300 miles on it so far. I know that's not a lot but I'm kind of hard on vehicles if there is anything going to 'shake loose' I would have found it by now. I have owned over 150 different vehicles in my life. And I have had very good luck with Ford's. I would recommend.

This family-owned, independent dealer, not only delivered car in question to the pre-purchase inspector of my choice, they addressed top ten safety, mechanical, and appearance items ASAP. All issues were taken care of in a timely manner. My son took delivery of his first car, a BMW, on schedule learning much in the process. These gents EARN your business through patience, mutual respect and doing what they promised. I paid full price. Take your hard EARNed $$ to JC Auto!

Mine was in excellent condition with 150,000 miles. It felt like it was pulled right off the lot. I can’t say if u get this car it will be as nice as mine, but if it appears to run great and look great, then you should consider. The car was reliable, somewhat cheap ($8,000-$11,000). There was never an issue with space. The speakers are great. It was the last model before the escapes had a complete change in appearance, which almost made it a different car. With that said, the 2012 is the most advance and nicest option of the old escape models. People are often surprised by how nice the interior is (note that I have the limited edition).

Rides like a small version limo, smooth comfortable almost like riding on air, quiet and lots of leg and head room. Too many positives and very little negatives.

After going to other dealer and having the worst experience there, I contacted Colonial (Hudson) by email and the response was immediate by Julia. As soon as I got in (next day) they were very helpful, honest, down to earth and made me feel comfortable. Next day I walked out with my car!!! 🤩

I just bought this vehical about 2 months ago, its been very good on fuel consumption. I've had no complaints so far and I run everyday. I think it's a very good investment for me.

Lilly and Jose were absolutely wonderful! If you are in doubt about getting approved they make it happen. The best and most efficient.I was in my car in less than 24 hours.. All I can say is Wow!! Thank you

I had an 08 escape, loved it more than anything! Went out of warranty so I traded it in for an edge. I regretted every moment of that trade. The 2012 escape is the last model before ford streamlined the escapes to look like little mini vans, YUCK! Hate the new look, and just purchased a 2012 escape and am finally getting rid of that edge!!!

Colonial Ford in marlbough exceeded my expectations when buying my pre-owned vehicle. Gonzo was very polite and did everything he could to help me find what I was looking for with a price I could afford. I didn???t even buy a ford I bought a Jeep but I was still offered a great warranty through colonial and gonzo helped me find my new favorite vehicle!

So far so good, wish it would get better gas mileage. Enjoying the sun roof and great features. It will meet my needs and expectations.
