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

Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston

Fri, Sep 1 2017

DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.

How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
