Pro's are its a Ford. Cons are its a Ford

Get a mechanic to put car on a lift and check suspension. Test drive the car! Overall, the Escape has pretty good reliability.

It's 13 years old

That's a horrible choice. SUVs are rotten vehicles, as they are exempt from many of the safety design features that proper cars are legally required to meet.

Plus, this one is 14 years old, so it's very close to dead. Get a much younger small car, such as a Honda, or Toyota.

  • What's the biggest engine I can fit into a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge 2D that currently has a 3.0 V6? I d like to turn my Ford Ranger into a drag truck worthy of the strip, what kind of engine can I put into her to make her wheelie Everytime I slam the gas?
  • Pros and cons of upgrading alternator? I have a 99 ford crown Vic and it's about time to change my alternator. My last question about 2 weeks ago explains everything. But a stock alt for my car is 135 amps. I'm thinking of getting a 220 amp high output alternator to also support my stereo systems. There no other alternator just 135amp and 220amp. I'm just wondering will that produce too much power or no?
  • Need help weighing the pros and cons of what kind of camper van to buy? So I plan on moving down to Nashville and living in a van in the very near future. I'm on the fence between 2. The first option is a 1988 Ford e350 diesel dually ambulance that has been fully converted. Running water, inverter, heat, ac. Pretty much everything in an rv besides a toilet. My second option is getting a cargo van and converting it or just getting one of those conversion Van's. I'm just not sure what my best bet is.
  • I'm in high school and about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car So far I have looked into ford mustangs, I have a choice between a 2007 ford mustang gt with a 8 cylinder motor with automatic transmission, or I can get a 2013 mustang v6. My question is which of the two cars is a faster and louder car cause I would like to show it off and have heads turn by its engine as I drive off on the street. Thank you very much about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car?
