I bought this 2001 Ford Escape new in June of 2001. After driving it for 5 years, I gave it to my daughter. She has driven it since then. We are selling it because my 84-year old mother can no longer drive and has a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu in mint condition with only 44,723 miles. As you'll see below, all suggested maintenance - most of which has been expensive as the car aged - was performed. As a result of these upgrades, this car is ready to serve dependably for years to come.
The window sticker is in the picture carousel. I have almost all maintenance records that will come with the car. This car has only 169,496 miles. It was always dealer or certified Pa. state inspection station serviced. It is in very good mechanical condition. The body has the normal wear for a car of this age and possess some scratches and stone nicks. As you'll see in the pictures, the drivers side front fog lamp works but is loose because the bumper was backed into and the screw fastener broken. The lamp requires a new fastener. The interior is in very good condition with no wear beyond what is expected in a car of this age. Below is a list of recent mechanical upgrades that will allow you to buy this car with confidence.
- 5-28-13 A/C was recharged for the 1st time and had and oil/filter change service performed along with a new air filter
- 5-20-13 Front axles were replaced
- 1-15-13 New battery installed and a check of the charging system (ok)
- 5-25-12 At 150K miles, replaced spark plugs, spark plug boots, ignition coil and manifold gasket (this is typical Ford suggested mtc. after 100K miles)
- 3-28-12 Front disc brakes & calipers replaced, rotors were machined
- 5-27-11 Rear brakes and hoses replaced
Receipts for all above mtc. included with the car as well as most if not all state inspection records and general mtc. like oil change/service.
2 Recall notices were serviced by Ford dealerships

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
