2008 Ford Escape XLT reviews?

116,000 miles on it, 2.3L SUV, 4 cylinder, FWD, 2WD.

I'm looking at getting a used vehicle and someone is selling this privately. Not sure for how much yet though. Just trying to get reviews on this vehicle first.

I have the VIN and want to run a report but it's so costly!

Ask your insurance agent or bank for a carfax report. They often have annual subscriptions and will run one for little or no cost.

Carfax is of limited value anyway.

I'd definitely get a carfax report. It's worth the $15 or whatever before spending 1,000's of dollars. You can get a lot of info from decodethis.com Put the VIN number in there, and it will tell you where the car was sold, mpg, what options it has (cruise control, etc…), and things like that. It won't give any repair history though like a carfax report.
