Used Ford Escape for sale under $3,000 near me

My Dad was the first owner I'm the second , 330,000 miles and still going strong. Keep up the general maintenance and it will keep going.

Easiest vehicle transaction I've ever had! Fast service and great deal! I will definitely use remarket space again.

es un muy buen auto para ciudad, pero yo no la veo fiable para otros usos más rudos. Para largas jornadas de manejo puede llegar a ser alfo incómodo, ya que sus asientos yo los siento muy rígidos (además de que se manchan muy facil). Algo que es realmente bueno de los asientos es que son reclinables para delante y para atrás lo que puede hacer que sea más fácil transportar cosas grandes. Es un auto que es muy fácil de manejar, ya que su volante es bastante grande y tiene muy buen drip, pero también puede ser un poco incomodo usándolo mucho tiempo ya que te quita más espacio del que debería pero no es algo demasiado importante pero es algo a tomar en cuenta. En resumen es un auto muy viable aunque muy incómodo, no te va dar fallas por lo que su mantenimiento es muy barato, entonces yo el doy 3.5 de 5 estrellas, es un buen auto pero hay mejores opciones...

Bought a 2009 6 cylinder Ford Escape LTD. Bought it used with about 68,000 miles in 2013. Loved the look and handling. Extremely reliable vehicle. Did regular maintenance, oil changes, tuneups, tire rotations, replaced tires twice, high speed wheel balances done with alignment, etc. Recently had an oil pan gasket replaced. Never any major repairs, except replaced the water pump x2. Once in 2018 at 150,000 miles again in 2024 at 208,348 miles. It always ran great. It was a southern car until 4 years ago. So, did not have a rust issue. Unfortunately, a Buck came out of nowhere last week after dark and totalled my beautiful Escape. I wasn't hurt. But, the frame was damaged and it was not worth repairing with 213,000 miles on it. I am sure it would have made it to 300,000. Trying to find another. But, live in the North now and rust is a major issue. Heartbroken! I wish Ford would go back to making this style of Escape and with the 2009 reliability. I am hoping to find a 2008 thru 2012. But, need the AWD version. The FWD wasn't great traction in the rare snow we had down South. But, still managed to get me home when a freak snowstorm hit...and everyone was following my car, lol.

Great place for shopping for a new vehicle. Great salesman Enrique made a sweet and smooth buying process. Highly recommended not once did I feel hurried or pressured on my purchase.

Owned my 1012 Escape LTD AWD for 14 years. No major problems whatsoever. It has towed household items in the large UHaul trailer with ease. It has hauled home construction items in the back and on top. It has done long road trips. And, with all that, has averaged over 23 MPG! Faithful Long Term Vehicle...Many Miles to Go!

I am very pleased with my purchase and the customer service was great. The staff was very accommodating and great to work with. Great place to do business with.

Reviewed in 2025. I bought this 2010 in 2013 and mileage is now almost 250k with only a few wear and tear issues AFTER 200k miles! (starter, master cylinder and TPMS sensors, all lasted much longer than they are predicted to last). I read several issues about acceleration, but this is a limited therefor it has a V6 and I never have issues with acceleration (0-60 in a little over 7 seconds). The backup camera is in the mirror which is small but I like that hidden feature... I also like the proximity sensor beeping. This SUV has been great for commuting or long trips, always reliable and fun to drive.

Great place to buy a truck! They treated me great, i have bought once from them but be back soon to up grade. You wont be disappointed!! Great guys!!

Keep an eye on rear passenger side wheel well where the shock tower meets the body for some reason that particular side is prone to corrosion. They sell the patch panels for that side only on Amazon but probably pricey to hire someone to do it. Replaced ignition coils at around 130K and front suspension has needed some work but overall great vehicle. At 155K now hoping to get it to 200-250K and EVs will hopefully be cheaper by then.

Everyone was inviting and helpful. Charlie Green assisted me throughout the process and was extremely knowledgeable and made everything easy!

I bought my car brand new. I have had no issues with! I have kept up with maintenance! But I am at the age that I don’t like to drive anymore.

Recently bought a 56 Studebaker pickup by only reviewing pics and description. Received the truck and overall very pleased. Found Joe to be very responsive and answered all my questions, even recommended a shipper. Robin was on top of the paperwork and getting it to me. Great people to deal with and would buy again.

This vehicle is amazing! 2005 Ford escape It it now has 200k miles and still running STRONG! The AC compressor has needed two replacements, minor exhaust leak and oil leak that were easily repaired, brake pad replacements etc. but no major issues, transmission is still great. Be sure to use the parking brake every time to prevent transmission damage since these vehicles can sometimes have transmission issues. If you use the parking brake it may help prevent that. LOVE the way it handles, great steering, great visibility, powerful engine. I love this vehicle!

Salesperson Lance had 35 yrs experience as a car salesman and was awesome. I highly recommend getting your next car at this dealership and ask for Lance. My wife and I purchased an RS Blazer with no hassle and very quick. Total transaction was less than 2.5hrs. Will go back if they have another vehicle that I’m interested in.

This car has met and surpassed a lot of my needs. Although I bought the car used it was still in great condition and runs well.

He give me fast and true answers. It was a good feeling to work with him.

I have a 2013 ford escape se awd and just eclipse 213,000 miles !! Escape is still running strong! Had to do normal maintenance and enjoyed owning this car

Seriously, I feel so at home in this car. It handles so well. Steering, visibility, torch V6. I just feel totally safe and powerful in this vehicle despite its age it has such great characteristics and design. Low maintenance and reliability.

Muy buena trato profesional muy buena atención cervical todo es excelente de muy buen trato

Purchased this car used in 2017 with 42k on it. Currently at 144k has the 2.0l and AWD. I’ve switched immediately to full synthetic, done coolant flushes, and changed all fluids. We have 2 Escapes now 14/16 both with 2.0 and AWD. Love them. We do the preventative maintenance. Hopefully we hit 300k. Most of my previous vehicles have done 266k and 400k.

Frank was wonderful. The process was very quick and easy. I had a nice selection

We have enjoyed this vehicle for ten years with zero repairs. We like the looks, economy, comfort, and reliability. Not a luxury vehicle but has all of the best basic features like alloy wheels, cruise control, power windows and locks. No bluetooth but does play mp3 discs and has aux input for playing music from phone.

Was very good it helped me to understand I was happy with the service that he provided for me

I have 2014 Ecoboost titanium, lots of recalls, going on 240 thousand miles on it ,routine maitainance ,but last wk turbo went out , so I must be one of the lucky ones hoping to hit the 300 mark

We’re very nice got back to me right away but I couldn’t get there they were farther then I thought. .

car performes well , overall satisfied with it , but it has a rust issue ! rust under the rear wheel frame on both sides , rust under the rear lift gate , chrome on the wheel reems peeling .

Fantastic experience. Luis did a fantastic job showing me the car I was interested In. If your looking for a hassle-free honest locally owned dealership this is for you. I was able to get my new car at a good price and it runs like a dream. My prior car needed some work due to the door being dented In. They offered me a really fair trade-in price. I didn't feel like they were trying to upsell me and they felt like honest friends to me. I will be continuing to use Jon and son's auto sales for future cars.

My 2009 Ford Escape was my work vehicle from July 2009 until August 2019 (I still have it but my 16 year old daughter drives it now). I never missed a service visit, and it never failed me on the road. At the end I was running about 25 MPG Hwy, and 20 MPG City. The Escape is especially gentle on tires as I had one all-season set on for 100,000 miles. Hardly ever needed break service, but most of my mileage was highway. My ONLY real complaints are the cloth seats, and the fact that this model tends to rust at the rear wheel wells. The cloth seats stain extremely easy, even with a water spill. I eventually put in front seat covers, but would put them on all seats from the beginning if I had to do it over again. I understand from my mechanic that the wheel well rusting is common due to the design (I live in Indiana and we have lots of salt on the roads in the winter). I have an estimate to fix the rust, but it's going to cost about $1,000/well to do a proper job of it. Since I am an engineer, and I own my business, I kept detailed accounts of the maintenance costs and they have averaged $0.04/mile to date which I think is outstanding. Unfortunately Ford ruined the latest Escapes as they are now "cross-overs" whatever the xxxx that means so my new vehicle is a Jeep Wrangler. However, I still love my 2009 Ford Escape as it took great care of me for 10 years, and will take care of my daughter for many more.

We highly recommend Troy Hill and Brighton Ford. He made the car buying process so easy and took good care of us. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Brighton Ford does a lot for the Community and we appreciate that. Thank you so much for a great experience here.

4 cyl Drove 400 miles on a tank of gas , it was reliable, excellent in the snow Transmission issues x3 , dealer replaced due the lemon law new transmission at 49,850 - 150 miles before the warranty was up At 112k the power steering fault light came on 1800$ Fix I sold it to my friend he did the repairs, his daughter drives it back and forth to college - all in all I got my money‘s worth , I do recommend this vehicle

Lots to like about the Escape: Decent gas mileage, performance and looks. Very reliable. Downsides: terrible traction in the snow, poor performance. I would recommend this vehicle if you're looking basic transportation.
