The suspension is crisp and the 4x4 system provides exceptional road stability and offroad performance in all weather environments! Inside this Ford Escape, the gray Ford leather interior looks new and has been professionally detailed!

This particular vehicle was driven conservatively by a local older gentleman who simply became too old to drive. The vehicle was purchased by our dealership (2nd owner) and he was moved into a local nursing home. This vehicle has been serviced by Porter Ford its entire life and drives exceptionally well - even at 151k miles. Bid with confidence and expect no surprises. Our dealership has driven this vehicle on multiple 4 hour trips from Delaware to Virginia Beach and from Delaware to Western Pennsylvania. It is sure to meet your expectations and offer great MPG!

The paint and clear coat on this vehicle are exceptional. As you can see in the pictures provided below, the paint is very reflective like a new vehicle. There are no visible rock chips anywhere on the vehicle or any rust spots. The paint is simply gorgeous. All 4 tires on this vehicle are newer Michelin tires and are a premium luxury touring tire designed for drivers who want optimum ride comfort, sporty handling and all-season traction! The wheels/rims on this vehicle are premium OEM Ford Edge rims that are near new with no curb damage or brake dust. The overall condition of this vehicle is about a 9 out of 10.


Interior:

This vehicle has no odors, has no stains in the carpeting, was a non-smoker and smells new. All power equipment is functioning properly on the vehicle - the windows go up and down perfectly, the doors lock and unlock, the heat and air conditioning work great, etc. The navigation unit, radio and sound system work great. The navigation unit comes with ALL 10 navigation discs (including for Hawaii and Canada) and the vehicle comes with the owners manuals. Under the hood, it's extremely clean and presentable. It was recently dealer serviced for an oil change. This vehicle comes with the key and remote which both work effortlessly.

COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:


Who is England Motorcoach (EM) ?

We are an family-owned independent licensed car dealer in Delaware focusing on European makes such as Mercedes, Audi, BMW and Porsche.

Who Should Bid

Only individuals who have their finances pre-approved or have cash on hand to finalize the transaction should bid on any eBay motors auctions. Bidders with under 80 feedback please contact us prior to bidding. We take much time and dedicate a lot of energy to our listings as should be evident by the usual 50+ photo's taken of each vehicle.  Please bid responsibly.  You are encouraged to give us a call directly to discuss any aspect of the vehicle you are interested on and put a deal together.

Where is England Motorcoach located?

We are located in New Castle, Delaware 19720.  All vehicles are located at our indoor warehouse facility.

What is the source for your inventory?

Our specialty is pre-owned imports such as Mercedes, Audi and Porsche including recent trade-ins and off-lease models with exceedingly low miles, complete service histories and all books, keys and records. Many of our vehicles are purchased directly through dealer-only auctions with condition reports and clean titles. We take the time to individually assess each vehicle prior to purchasing to ensure they meet our standards and hopefully our clients' expectations. We also purchase from estate sales, liquidations, repossessed vehicles and through insurance auctions. Any salvage branded vehicle will be noted up front (hail, stolen, etc) and we do not purchase flood vehicles.

Do you have all titles on hand for your vehicles?

It depends on the vehicle. Typically once payment is made we will use that payment to release the title. Titles may be held at our location, at banks, other dealerships, the state, or other locations. Titles typically get mailed though Certified Mail within 7 business days once payment has cleared.  We are a licensed and bonded dealer in Delaware and guarantee clear titles on all vehicles that we offer unless otherwise stated. 

What "other" fees are there besides the vehicle's purchase price?

The other fees include any government related fees, shipping (if applicable) and documentation charges.  If you live in Delaware, you must pay 3.75% of the sales price of the car as a tax to the state when at the DMV/MVA registering the vehicle for title. We do not collect that fee at the time of sale.  All buyers are required to pay a $40.75 Inspection Fee. There is a $163 service fee which includes detailing the vehicle, inspecting the vehicle, and checking tires and fluids before shipment or sale.  There is also a $279 doc fee for handling paperwork, filing titles, mailing and copying costs. These fees are fixed and are non negotiable.

How is shipping of the vehicle arranged, can I get a quote?

We are happy to handle all of the details of shipping your new vehicle to its new home.  Send an email to englandmotorcoach@verizon.net with your zip code and the car or truck you need to ship, we will get back to you with a firm quote on shipping to your location. Some common shipping terms include:

  • Open Carrier - This is the most economical way to transport a vehicle. Typically your vehicle will be on a trailer of 8-10 other cars that are being delivered to other individuals or businesses as well. There is a small potential risk of rock and element damage since the vehicle is not enclosed. Many higher dollar and specialty cars must be shipped enclosed carrier
  • Enclosed Carrier - This method is more expensive, but eliminates potential the possibility of damage from road debris and the elements. 
  • Insurance Coverage - Each carrier has insurance coverage. Typically vehicle transporters have coverage of at least 1 million dollars, but it depends on the company and driver. England Motorcoach shall NOT be liable or responsible for the safe shipment of vehicles. There is a very small chance that there could be some minor damage incurred during shipping any vehicle. The Buyer is responsible for working with the Driver or Shipping Company's insurance company if this were to ever occur.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, money order, finance checks from your local bank or credit union and certified cashier checks drawn on US Banks in US funds.  We are also happy to arrange financing for you. Please ONLY bid if you have enough money to cover payment or have approved financing either from your bank or from us.

Do you do any financing?

Yes, We have Financing Rates starting as low as 2.9%

In most cases it takes less than a day to get credit applications decisioned and finalized.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

Ford director says company has big efficiency plans, but no dedicated EV

Wed, Mar 12 2014

The annual autofest known as the North American International Auto Show previews a plethora of exciting new products that we'll see and drive later in the year, from tiny urban commuters to family sedans and crossovers to hard-working big pickups and SUVs. It's also a once-a-year cornucopia of auto executives and leaders from around the world. "There will be some really fun stuff that you'll hear about in the future" - Ford's Kevin Layden So, in-between dozens of cool new-product unveilings on rotating stages during the two press days preceding the public show, we auto scribes grab what planned and impromptu interviews we can. Sessions with top industry leaders can be hard to get, but I was able to score a seat in a group session with then-General Motors North America president (now executive VP of global product development) Mark Reuss, and I also managed brief one-on-ones with a trio of vehicle electrification leaders, one each from Ford, BMW and GM, and what they said then remains relevant now. First up is Kevin Layden, Ford's Director of Electrified Powertrain Engineering. ABG: Where will Ford go beyond its current Focus EV and hybrids, and will there be a Ford EV and/or hybrid on its own energy-optimized platform one day. KL: We don't want to do a dedicated electric vehicle with all the development costs borne by a niche product. At the Michigan Assembly plant right now we're building the Focus electric, PHEV and EcoBoost on the same assembly line. Also the C-Max, with both a hybrid and an Energi plug-in, and we use that same power pack in the Fusion Hybrid and Energi. We want to be, "The power of choice" [a Ford marketing slogan], so having that choice for customers is very important. And if I want to sell the Fusion, Focus and C-Max globally, we can use these power packs wherever it makes sense. So as we go forward, you'll see us proliferating the power packs we have today. Then the question is, what do we do next? There will be some really fun stuff that you'll hear about in the future. ABG: Is the efficiency difference between a dedicated ultra-efficient vehicle platform and a shared multi-use platform getting smaller as all platforms get more efficient? KL: Exactly. Were going through aero studies now on wheels and tires and hood sealers on base vehicles. We have full aerodynamic wind tunnel studies going on with the base Focus and C-Max, so all of that [aerodynamic improvement] will be there for EVs.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index

Mon, Oct 10 2016

While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
