The 2009 Ford Escape for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2009 Ford Escape for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. The 2009 Ford Escape for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the Escape
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
Its 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid drives through an automatic (CVT). As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 7.4 L/100 km, means roughly 22 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $11.47, and a 300 km weekend about $34.41. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the Escape suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work.
What the Escape is like
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Rent it for a week first
If the Escape is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Escape answers the big questions.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
When you know your dates
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
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 2009 Ford Escape from us first.
