Used Ford Escort for Sale

This was my first major car purchase. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. The gray exterior and dark gray interior matched my style perfectly. The car performed exceptionally well. No major problems even after 100,000+ miles. I get more than 40 mpg and considerably more than that on the highway. This car handles curves and corners well. Driving stick shift was a thrill! I didn't learn to drive a standard until I purchased the vehicle. This was an awesome vehicle to learn on and very forgiving. It may be a small vehicle but it can still do work! I've hauled tons of potting soil, wood chips and other gardening supplies in the truck. Overall, a great purchase that I would highly recommend to anyone.

I bought the car used for a total of $3500 back in 2010 and the considering it was 7 years old at that point it still runs as good as it did the day I bought it. It's a two door coupe so it's very small but for a personal car for taking on commute for work or school it's great. Very fuel efficient as well I think I get around 27 mpg in city.

The Escort hatchback is a cute car. Mine is dark grey with a black interior. It has all the tilts and swings, including an "instant" MPG, two trip odometers, at least four (?) USB ports, and hooks up to my iPhone. The trunk area is roomy, the passenger areas are big enough for my family, and, up until recently, I loved it. When I bought it, the car dealer told me that from his knowledge, Escorts had problems with the transmission. I didn't really think about it, but there had been times when it seemed to hang in first-to-second or shudder. Nothing I can't live with. However, just a few days ago, I got a big red transmission alert. It went away after I stopped the car, turned the ignition off and back on. Now I am left wondering if this is going to be a problem in the future. Final conclusion: if the transmission is actually okay, then the Escort is a great car. If it's not...I will not be happy paying big bucks to repair the trannie on a 2.5 year old car.
