Thinking of buying the 2017 Ford Escape?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Ford Escape for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2017 Ford Escape is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Specs, explained
It runs the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 9.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $42.33 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Escape
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
How big it is
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Try before you buy
A test week in the Escape tells you more than any review. A week with the Escape answers more than any brochure. Try the Escape on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
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.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.11 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
