Used Ford Escape for Sale in Tampa, FL

I bought this car with 3 years of use. It was in great shape when purchased. Minimum maintenance. Reliable and gives 22 miles per gallon. Plenty of room for legs and comfortable chairs. Cruise control works great.

The car has great interior space. I appreciated the large trunk area; it was large enough to fit crates used in my classroom. The size of the car is a great mid-size SUV; it is not too long to parallel park with ease, and it is not cramped. The interior did not feel small, like a car, but felt spacious. There was plenty of room for car seats, and the latches in the seats were easily accessible. Sometimes the hooks are so buried in the seat it makes hooking in a car seat very difficult, but the Escape was very child friendly in built. Unfortunately, I purchased this car used, and it had issues often. The engine leaked oil, and the gaskets had to be sealed. The battery died multiple times before the expiration of the battery. Every time I filled up the pump, it would click off erroneously every few gallons due to faulty gas lines (which I had checked and replaced to no avail). The 4-cylinder engine did not feel like it was constantly struggling, which is not common for an SUV, although it did not have the best acceleration. The base model was lacking in many features other similar makes offered, like Bluetooth capabilities and USB ports. Additionally, the headlights were not automatic.
