Vehicle Detail
This is a 1986 Ford Escort Diesel 5-speed. It is rare in that it is a diesel and there were not many of these sold here in the U.S. I think this is about as clean of a car as you will find for the year and model. I purchased this car with about 34,XXX miles on it from a fellow who had purchased it from an elderly woman who had had it in her garage for years and had barely driven it. As far as I can tell these are the original miles. I ran a carfax and there is nothing to suggest otherwise. I have had a little over $2,500 worth of work done since I purchased it. Mostly cleaning everything up and replacing things that needed to be replaced from sitting. We are selling because we are looking for a small truck and do not have a need for this car anymore. The Good: The car runs great and has been consistently getting 45-50 mpg. It is very clean. Interior is great. All of the electronics work. I have done maintenance to get it up to speed. Low miles. No Rust. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car across the country. The Bad: It does have a crack in the dash above the steering wheel. It does leak a small amount of oil which I believe is coming from the oil pan seal. It leaked/burned less than half a quart in 3,000 miles and it has a 7.2 quart oil capacity. A/C needs to be recharged. You can Check out the video I made on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/59yLvpuEROc Here is a list of things that have been done in the past 6 months. I have receipts for all the work that has been done. I also have the original owners guide along with the supplemental guide for the 2.0 liter escort diesel. - Diesel fuel pump removed and rebuilt (little over $500) - Fuel Filter Replaced - New Starter - 2 front tires are new with about 3,000 miles on them, rear tires have about 65% tread left - Water pump replaced - timing belt replaced - camshaft oil seal and crank oil seal replaced - Brake fluid bled and replaced - Tie rod replaced on front right - front and rear suspension new - Oil pressure sender replaced - expansion block/orifice tube replaced - coolant temperature sensor/switch for idle kicker replaced - cleaned brakes - glow plugs replaced - New Brake master cylinder Please let me know if you have any questions. Again, I have posted a youtube video that can be seen at the following link: http://youtu.be/59yLvpuEROc
