Gasoline

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.

Also, the doors unlock fine with the remote, but the drivers door does not open with the key. this would be an easy fix as the key turns fine, but it just isn't connecting with the unlock mechanism inside the door.
