Buying the 2001 Ford Escape
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Ford Escape; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2001 Ford Escape is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Escape
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 996 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, service brakes and electrical system; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Reading the spec sheet
The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 10.2 L/100 km works out to about 31 litres per 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $15.81. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Escape
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
The Escape in everyday use
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Try before you buy
A week with the Escape answers more than any brochure. Rent the Escape for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Escape on your commute before you commit to it.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Over to you
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2001 Ford Escape from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2001 Ford Escape for you and reply within one business day.
