Used 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid for Sale

I bought my 2006 Ford Hybrid car brand new and loved every minutes until the end of its life. The car was a great little family car and it was a joy to drive. Everyone in my family wanted to drive it, it almost felt like we needed to sign up sheet to schedule your time to be able to get time just to get to drive my own car. We took my Escape Hybrid cross country a few time and never had any issues with it. My first year I put 75,000 mile on it and loved every mile to. One trip I drove a group of high school wrestlers to a tournament in Fargo. It snowed the whole trip and my little escape hybrid took it like a champ. I fell in complete love with my 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid. No other car that I bought since haven’t gave me the same feeling I had for my little baby. Toward the end of its little life gave me so many mechanical problems and at the end the engine quit on my because of so much abuse I put it through. I put almost five thousand to repair my baby but because of the Hybrid battery being so expensive, it wasn't worth the repair. It finally was declared DOA.

For someone who does not have kids, the size of the vehicle is perfect. Anyone with a family, it would be too small. The leg room in the backseat is pretty tight as well. Hooking up a child's car seat is a little tricky, so that could be a problem. The gas mileage is good, but newer cars of the same size that are not hybrids get about equal gas mileage. I purchased the car because of its safety rating, and generally speaking, I do feel safe. The only time I don't is if it is raining hard because the car sometimes hydroplanes (front-wheel drive). The pick-up is pretty good when accelerating from a stop. The only problem I have had is with a motor fan, which was recalled, but I had it replaced by the dealership. Everything else has just been normal wear and tear. I had a small fender-bender, and the car that I hit had their bumper dented in pretty bad, but the damage on my car was very minimal. The headlights could be a little brighter, but it is probably because it is an older car and newer bulbs are made better. The car has been very dependable with minimal problems. It has a navigation screen, but it is very small. The sound quality of the speakers are surprisingly good.

This is a great small family vehicle that feels more like a car than a large SUV and yet feels roomy inside. I just wish that it didn't have problems with the rear door window hinge, the leather tear, and the air conditioner quitting.
