This vehicle has a "rebuilt" branded title.  It was wrecked in Florida in 2012.  It was repaired by Auction Direct in Miami in summer  of 2012.  I purchased the car from the Florida seller with full knowledge of the damage and a picture of the Escape before it was repaired (see pictures).  No airbag deployment and relatively minor right front damage.  I wanted to try a Ford Escape for my personal vehicle, but had no idea of how I would like a Hybrid.  I thought this would be a cheap way to test out the Hybrid.

This has been my personal car since August 2012.  I have recently purchased another Ford Escape Hybrid as I have had a very good experience with this one that is for sale.  The mileage has been impressive for an SUV.  I don't know of another SUV that gets the 30 MPG I have gotten with this one.  I've driven several Rav4's, a Mazda Tribute, and a regular Escape.

I hold a Texas Dealer License, so I change cars a couple of times a year.  If you are a Texas buyer, please be prepared to pay for Texas sales tax, title transfer fees, registration, etc.  at the time you pay me for this Escape.  I do not add any fees.

The Escape is sold with a SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. If you arrive to pick up the car and don't want it for any reason, you are not obligated to complete the sale, and your deposit will be refunded in full.  If you purchase the car and want me to assist you with shipping or delivery, I am happy to do so, but the car must be PAID IN FULL before it leaves my house.  Once it leaves my house, there is no guarantee or warranty.

I am a local County Judge and I have no desire to cheat you or rip you off.  I believe you will get a great buy on a low mile Escape with plenty of life left in it, and despite it's damage history, it makes very decent transportation.

THE BAD ABOUT THIS ESCAPE....Rebuilt Title (totaled by insurance company and sold at auction), rear tires need to be replaced within 5,000 miles, front tires within 10,000 miles. The SERVICE SOON message and icon comes on from time to time.  There is a buzzing noise inside of one of the A/C vents to the right of the radio that occurs when you don't run the fan.  I dont know what makes the noise.  It hasn't been a bother for me since i ususally have some kind of fan running for heat or air conditioning.  Low tire pressure light occasionally comes on due to a slow leak in right rear tire.  Air it up and the low pressure light goes off.

THE GOOD ABOUT THIS ESCAPE.....Low Miles, around 67,500.  Title indicates not actual miles as with any rebuilt title, however the AutoCheck history seems to indicate the miles at the time i purchased it were correct.  Great mileage, averaging around 30 MPG.  Charging system and hybrid battery indicate all's well.  Recent brake job about 4,000 miles ago.

I live in Mt Pleasant, TX (Titus County), but the Escape is located in North Dallas with my 30 year old son so that it is more accessible for buyers; You may inspect it at his workplace, Central Expressway at Park Lane.  Inspections are welcome and encouraged.

Please check out my SELLER FEEDBACK on previous sales of Cars and Motorcycles.  No negative feedback, all happy customers.  I want to keep it that way.

If you need assistance with shipping, I will be glad to offer you guidance, but the final decision as to who to hire will be YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

$500 deposit via PayPal is due within 24 hours of auction end, balance due within 5 days.  I will transfer the title for you and mail you Texas license plates (if you are a Texas buyer).  If you are an out of town buyer, I will  give you clear title at time of pickup, or I will mail you the title.

Please call with any questions or email me. Thanks, Brian    titusjudge at gmail dot com or 903-466-6666

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
